Hassan and Shanoff will first share information on the history of Somali Immigration to the United States and specifically to Minnesota. They will then discuss the process of Somali acculturation and assimilation to Minnesota culture and how they have contributed our kaleidoscope of Minnesota’s ethnic heritages. Shanoff would like to share some common day-to-day living practices of the Somali people in order to help current Minnesota residents realize cultural understanding and sensitivity. Finally, the speakers will touch upon the development of collaborative health practices with the Somali community. Come early to assure preferred seating.
