Welcome to the first edition of the Center for the Study of Upper
Midwestern Cultures electronic newsletter. This twice-yearly e-publication
is aimed at highlighting current projects involving the languages and
cultural traditions of this region's diverse peoples.
The Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures (CSUMC pronounced
suh-SUM-see for short) fosters research and the preservation of archival
collections, while producing educational and outreach programs for a broad
public audience. We also assist community groups, classrooms, and
independent scholars with projects involving Upper Midwestern cultures.

This publication highlights several efforts underway in Wisconsin to keep
our ethnic and cultural heritages alive. In this issue read about:
- Efforts to preserve and revitalize the language of the Menominee Nation
- The treasure-trove of sound recordings and manuscripts at the Wisconsin Music
Archives
- Folklorist Jim Leary's view of Wisconsin as "A Center of the World"
- How you can enjoy traditional music field recordings on compact disc
- A new book, coming out soon, features Lac du Flambeau elders telling their
stories
- An effort to conserve past cultural fieldwork and make it more accessible
- An opportunity to earn college credit by studying Wisconsin art history in
West Bend
- A yearlong classroom project that introduces fourth and fifth graders to
Hmong culture
- The latest edition of the Dictionary of American Regional English

cultures. We hope you will consider joining our Friends Organization.
