Where does our culture come from? Our culture in this country is a blend of many people’s cultures. When immigrants came to this country they brought with them the culture of their home countries. These cultures have blended and changed to come up with the many cultures we have in our country today.

Who were the immigrants and why did they come here? The immigrants who moved to this country were our ancestors. They moved here for new opportunities. Many immigrants arrived in New York City. One of the first sights they saw in New York Harbor was the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty became known as a symbol of freedom to people coming to this country to start a new life.

Customs, beliefs, and traditions As immigrants moved into the country they generally moved into neighborhoods with their own ethnic group. Holding on to their culture, beliefs, and traditions from their “home” countries was very important. Over the years these ethnic groups have mixed and their cultures blended, creating new customs, beliefs, and traditions. Have you ever hear America called the “Melting Pot”? How about a “tossed salad”.

Holidays Your religion or cultural background may determine which holidays you celebrate. As Americans, there are certain holidays we all celebrate.
