I notice that the Hmong and Natives are “divided” into tribes/clans. And in each tribe/clan they are very similar in traditions but have a different way of doing things as far as ceremonies and rituals goes. Makes sense?

It does make sense. Hmong people were originally nomads roaming the plain of present day China. This nomadic lifestyle contributed to the attainment of knowledge about plants and animals. Think about it, the Natives had cross the Bering Strait into America. Now think about it, what if some Native peolke actually cross the Bering Strait to Siberia?
Ka Ying Neng Moua – Hmong people are not actually nomadic. We only moved around because of conflict with other people such as the Chinese. The Hmong people lived by several rivers and cultivated rice there, but due to conflict with the Chinese, we were forced downwards towards Southern China and S.E.A. A lot of Hmong people in China now still live in the Southern provinces like Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, and Guangdong. The Hmong people began moving into Southeast Asia during the Chinese Qing Dynasty (probably around the 1800’s).
