Teaching Hmong tradition

Hmong traditional dating games were played during the New Year Festival over the weekend. This involved men and women each standing in a line on opposite sides of a hall, facing each other. The exchange of a small ball thrown from one side to another is used in the process of finding the right mate.

In this unique display of Hmong culture, the two lines don't stand very far apart while throwing the ball, as can be seen with the women's line in the foreground and men's in the background.
