First immigrant generations and future generations

The term you’re looking for may be acculturation:

ac·cul·tur·a·tion (ə-kŭl′chə-rāshən) n.

  1. The modification of the culture of a group or individual as a result of contact with a different culture.
  2. The process by which the culture of a particular society is instilled in a human from infancy onward.

Another term, less specific to culture, is assimilation.

There are many studies of immigration, acculturation, and how immigrant groups maintain their own cultures and language.
