Description 
The Qeej is a Hmong ceremonial instrument made of bamboo. It is played along with a large drum, the primary instrument of funeral rites. The Hmong People settled in Australia after their release in 1975 from refugee camps in Northern Thailand (Tapp & Lee (Eds) 2010). They escaped from their homelands in Northern Laos during and following the CIA Secret War during which many Hmong were enlisted to fight between 1962 to 1969.
