Keeping Traditions Alive
This media asset was adapted from the PBS series In the Mix: "Teen Immigrants."
Luincys, Michael, Mohammed, and Fatima all worked hard to become Americans, overcoming the challenges they faced. They now all speak English at school, wear American fashions, listen to American music, and keep up-to-date on American culture.
But they also keep some of the traditions they grew up with. For example, they speak their native languages at home with their parents, eat traditional foods, or practice traditional ways of dressing. Fatima, for example, wears her hijab [hih-jahb]—a head cover, like a scarf—every day, just as she did back in Tanzania. In this video, Luincys talks about living "50 percent American, 50 percent Dominican."
