Khmu New Year celebration is celebrated annually throughout the United States of America. Khmu’ is one of the three main ethnic groups in Laos which consists of the Lao Theung (Khmu’), Lao-Loum, and Lao Soung (Hmong). The Khmu ethnic group is the original indigenous inhabitants of Laos. Khmu’ have their language, written alphabets that were taught to them during the colonial era. They preserve and protect their culture, beliefs, and traditional costumes which makes them unique from the many ethnic groups in Laos. The Greh Ritual ceremony is the most important New Year celebration for the Khmu people.
