From the La Crosse Tribune -- In the country of the white pines, by the waters of Lake Superior and the banks of the Wisconsin River, the voices are dying one by one.
The first languages of Wisconsin, the vessels bearing ages of American Indian history, song, medicine and prayers, could be as little as a generation away from an all-abiding silence. Languages that are grafted to the land and that together once counted tens of thousands of native speakers in the state, now have only an aging few here.
