The Yao people (simplified Chinese: 瑶族; traditional Chinese: 瑤族; pinyin: Yáozú) or Dao (Vietnamese: người Dao) is a classification for various ethnic minorities in China and Vietnam. Their majority branch is also known as Mien.
Further classification of the Yao nationality brings up three major groups: Pan Yao, Bunu Yao, and Pingdi Yao. [1] The Pan Yao group is the largest in China and Southeast Asia, and it is this Pan Yao group that Iu Mien Americans belong. The Yao nationality was officially recognized by the Chinese government in the 1950s.
With regard to nationality or ethnicity, the Iu Mien are officially classified in China and most of Southeast Asia as a subgroup of the Yao Nationality. As noted, in Vietnam they are referred to as the Dao. The Yao Nationality consists of three major groups: Pan Yao, Bunu Yao, and Pingdi Yao. [1]
