Culture plays an important role in The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Aspects of Hmong culture discussed in this book include language, foods, and religion. The Hmong language has eight distinctive tones. Its words often include onomatopoeia. The Hmong people traditionally live off of the land which they inhabit.
