EASTERN XIANGXI MIAO OF CHINA
As far back as the 10th century, the Eastern Xiangxi Miao were fierce fighters, defending their people against marauding forces. Even through hundreds of years of heavy oppression, they have maintained their cultural identity. God our defender, may the Eastern Xiangxi Miao know You are their deliverer. Let the sound of joyful praise to You ring out from their villages high upon the mountains.

Take Your shields—large and small—and come to my aid. Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers, and assure me: “I am your deliverance.” Psalm 35:2-3
