Portuguese term or phrase: pertencimento étnico
Can anyone suggest another option to "ethnic belonging" which I find a bit cumbersome for this phrase?
The full context is as follows:-

O objetivo desse artigo é analisar o pertencimento étnico de italiano e o regional de “gaúcho” entre descendentes de imigrantes italianos no sul do Brasil.

ethnic heritage


Explanation:
...ethnic Italian heritage and local gaucho heritage. Heritage literally means valued qualities such as cultural traditions passed down from previous generations (according to my dictionary anyway). It also means inheritance, so it seems fitting in this context.
