The Wisconsin Indians of today are acculturated to a greater or lesser degree: among the Chippewa, Potawatomi, Menomini, and Winnebago a considerable amount of the traditional culture survives; among the Stockbridge and Oneida nearly all of the old culture is lost. It is to be hoped that all of the colorful pattern of Indian culture and tradition is not lost in the process of assimilation.
One thing is certain, the Indians of Wisconsin, along with most of those of the entire United States, have suffered much at the hands of the white man. They deserve constructive help now toward accomplishing the ultimate adjustment to the final demands made on them by the white man’s civilization.
