This chapter examines the benefits and the challenges resulting from refugee resettlement in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Fargo, North Dakota. Before the region began to prosper from a natural gas boom, both communities became refugee resettlement destinations during the 1990s. Using long-term ethnographic research with an emphasis on everyday practices, the chapter reviews the tensions arising in largely white, native-born cities experiencing a significant influx of international migrants. It argues that developing a framework for intercultural policy benefits cities both economically and socially, describing best practices for small cities in accommodating and welcoming international migrants. The chapter also contends that seemingly homogeneous small cities should embrace their urban and diverse identities, resulting in a competitive advantage in an age of intensified global economic exchange and international migration.
