Since the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) pulled out of Laos on May 14, 1975 after the fall of Long Tieng (also spelled Long Chieng, Long Cheng, or Long Chen).
The refugee camp was divided into two sections: the Lao and the Hmong. If you speak Laotian or Lao, your family were assigned to reside on the west or the Lao side, however, if you speak Hmong or Kmhmu than your family were assigned to the east side.

The bungalow #6 was split, the west half was house by Hmong, and the east side was housed by Kmhmu and Lao from Sam Neua Province, northeast of Laos.
