TRADITIONS TRAVEL TOO
WHAT WE BRING WITH US
When people move from one country to another, they don’t leave everything behind. They bring recipes, family traditions, celebrations, crafts and customs. Some are passed down for generations. Others evolve as families adapt to life in a new country. What We Bring With Us explores the traditions and cultural practices that immigrants and their descendants have carried into American life—and the ways those traditions have changed, blended and endured.

What We Bring With Us: Día de Los Muertos
Días de Muertos is a cultural celebration rooted in Aztec traditions and shaped by Catholic influences, honoring loved ones who have passed. Today, the tradition lives on in Mexico and Latino communities across the United States, bringing families together to remember, celebrate, and welcome the return of departed loved ones.
