Friends of the Central Highlands - The South Vietnamese were absorbed by the North with hardly a ripple visible to the rest of the world. Many were imprisoned due to their affiliations during the war, many left the country and relocated to the US and other democratic countries. The Montagnard lot in life remained basically the same - they were considered barely second class citizens by the South Vietnamese, and fared not much better after the country was unified by the North. While the current government in Vietnam has not consciously singled out the Montagnards, they have more or less ignored them. The Friends of the Central Highlands intends to make a difference in the life of the Montagnard race in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The pages following provide some factual data regarding Vietnam, Montagnards and The Friends of the Central Highlands.
