contents In this paper, we consider minimal group actions of countable groups on compact Hausdorff spaces by homeomorphisms. We show that the existence of a point with finite stabilizer imposes strong restrictions on the dynamics: the residual set of points then has stabilizers conjugate to the same almost normal subgroup of the acting group. Under certain conditions on the acting group such an action also has no essential holonomy. If the acting group is residually finite, we show that every group action with finite almost normal stabilizers with no essential holonomy arises as an almost finite-to-one factor of an essentially free action.
