Who we are
The Tigray Community in Minnesota is a community of Tigrigna speaking people who came from the Tigray region in Ethiopia and currently reside in the state of Minnesota or their descendants there-off.
Our Vision
Tigray Community in Minnesota (TCMN) is organized exclusively to promote social change through encouragement, communications, and community education so as to create a well-informed community in MN.
Our Values
Community
For Tigraians the social cooperation during good and bad times is an integral part of our culture. In our tradition, Weddings, Funerals and other ceremonies are responsibilities of the community instead of the individual. The community will strengthen this culture by coordinating efforts to support each individual and family during good and bad times.
Mutual Respect
We Tigraians have thousands of years of history helping and cooperating with other communities. Tigraians in Minnesota pride ourselves with this culture and will continue to seek cooperation and collaboration with other communities promoting mutual respect and fairness.
Promoting Success
We are a community of hard working individuals and families. The community will work hard to make sure our members succeed in every endeavor by promoting cooperation, education and communication. Most importantly we will work to make the new generation successful while keep connected to their roots.
