Winnipeg's a diverse city. But who are the people living in your neighbourhood? The people you pass on the street? The people you sit next to in class? How much do you know about the changing face of this city?
Culture Shift shines a light on two segments of Manitoba's next generation: young Aboriginals, our 'first Manitobans', and young Africans, part of the new wave of immigration. On this website, you'll meet 25 young people talking about how they live their culture every day in Winnipeg.
Come in to hear their stories and share your own.
Quote: My grandma told me the jingle dress dancer is a healing dancer.

Quote: (in Canada) the social life is different. Everyone stays in their homes. In Sudan, we are all together so it was difficult for me to get used to.
Cultural knowledge and wisdom is passed on from elders to youth in both the Aboriginal and African communities.

Do you have any questions or comments about the project?
A few years ago, a project similar to Culture Shift was produced by CKSB, Manitoba's french-language radio station. The project assembled Manitobans from most of the french-speaking countries in the world to discuss cultures. Click on the link to access the website: Le Manitoba Grand Comme le Monde.
