history, culture and language to you at an upcoming event at the Sunrise Banks
Corporate Headquarters. Please join us for a presentation and discussion with
Adan Dirie, Program Director of The Somali Museum of Minnesota to learn about
the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial Somali history that has forced
thousands of Somalis to seek refuge and resettlement in the United States and
other parts of the world. Guests will get a chance to view artifacts from the
museum showcasing Somali nomadic life, traditional homemaking, fashion and
more. Attendees will also receive a basic Somali language lesson, leave with
several useful phrases to use with neighbors, and learn why Somalia is known as
βthe land of the bards.β The presentation will be followed by time for Q&A.
