enculturation
Explanation:
Given the low number of Google hits for endoculturation, I think this might be the correct word.

Endoculturação é o processo permanente de aprendizagem de uma cultura que se inicia com assimilação de valores e experiências a partir do nascimento de um indivíduo e que se completa com a morte. Este processo de aprendizagem é permanente, desde a infância até à idade adulta de um indivíduo.
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoculturação

Enculturation is the process whereby an established culture teaches an individual by repetition its accepted norms and values, so that the individual can become an accepted member of the society and find their suitable role. Most importantly, it establishes a context of boundaries and correctness that dictates what is and is not permissible within that society's framework.

It is the process of learning that takes the person and teaches him or her the ways of life of their people or country. It is a life-long process, affecting not only the child, but the adult too. Enculturation is learned through communication in the form of speech, words, and gestures. We also learn through the unique images, objects, places and experiences that are characteristic of different cultures. The six things of culture that are learned are: technological, economic, political, interactive, ideological and world view.
