Yet the American Council of
learned Societies reports with pride
that one research worker has nearly
completed records of the Southern
Caddoan language, that another Is
piecing together a record of the near
ly vanished Moliican dialect of the
Eastern Algonqulns and that still an
other has found that a handful of
Indians In Oregon still speak the
Cayuse language, which it was
thought vanished 50 years ago.
Such work Is more than a pastime
or a bobby. To archeologists and
others Interested In America's past
It Is of vital Importance. Native
languages form one of tbe most re
liable means of tracing movements In
prehistoric America. Pottery, weap
ons, Jewelry, basketry, design and
architecture all are clews to events
In that forgotten past. But language
Is a thread running through them all.
