A circle with a group of people sits in the middle, and five cards for language, food, clothing, music and art appear around it one at a time, each with examples from different cultures, including hello in English, Cree and Spanish. The video then shows that each group has its own ways, that children learn culture from family and community, and that every culture is important, and it ends on the recap that culture includes language, food, clothing, music and art.
