Life style : The immigrant of Mien

The reasons for migration of the Mien people.
There are 2 reasons that resulted in the Mien people migrating to live in other places.

1.The land for agriculture.
The first time that the Mien people migrated to Thailand, they live on hillsides and plant the vegetation on the hillside too. They will make the soil in their place slide down and make the soil more fertile. Normally for 2-3 years, the paddy field will have good harvests, but after that harvests will start to decrease. The Mien people will then move to another paddy field somewhere else and will build a hut in the area but they do not stay in that place.

	When the soil in the village is no longer rich in nutrients, the Mien people will move to other places. The family who do not have a fertile land for growing crops will move. The Mien people migrate because of the land for growing vegetables which is very important to the Mien people.
2. The civil war Around 1967, the Mien people moved to Thailand because of the civil war in the area between the Thai- Laos borders and the Mien people fled to Thailand from the communist terrorists. This is the one of the main reasons for the Mien people migrating to Thailand. In the recent time, they do not have such a problem because the Mien people now have developed and have their own technology too.
