Cultural Horizons of Wisconsin | Places with Faces

Program 3 illustrates the connection between culture and place, be it natural or human-made. At the Bad River Indian Reservation during "ricing" -- the annual harvest of wild rice -- young people express their feelings for the rice sloughs. Gardeners of the Eagle Heights community garden, many of whom are University of Wisconsin-Madison scholars from abroad, share the ways in which the garden connects them with their homeland and their culture. When a nonprofit Hispanic service agency in Milwaukee enlisted the help of neighborhood children to create a mural for its building, it gives the young people an opportunity to express their culture in a way that benefits the entire community.
