CONCLUSION

Adjustment to life in Minnesota has presented many challenges for the Nuer, as they struggle to find ways to make ends meet in a radically new environment. Where once they herded cattle and tilled the soil, they now work in low-end jobs in an industrial economy, exposed to the pressures of the time clock and working to pay for their cars. Balancing options available to them in the form of employment and welfare presents difficult decisions, as they also try to parent their children and acquire skills which will provide them with a better life in the future. Issues of economic well-being not only are central to Nuer life in Minnesota in the present, but need perhaps most importantly to be addressed in regard to the long-term well-being of the Nuer community.
