Last week, the word ‘Kunama’ came up quite a bit in the news following a shooting on the east side of Sioux Falls.
It’s a tribe of people in eastern Africa.
There are a lot of Kunama people living in the city. We met some members of the ethnic community over the weekend at a Sioux Falls mass.
“Kunama are very peaceful people. Innocent and hardworking people wherever you go so this is what I know of the Kunamas,” Solomon Sagot said.
Coming up Monday on KELOLAND News, we’ll tell you why they’re opening up about who they are as a people.
