<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="text-indent: -1cm; font-size: 15px;">The narrative texts used as data for this chapter came from some extremely valuable sources, with which those of you who have worked on White Hmong will be very familiar: Fuller
(1985), Johnson (1992), and Vang, Yang, & Smalley (1990). Standing on the shoulders of giants here!</span></div>
