The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin is making sure a new generation of tribal members learns about Oneida culture.
The tribe's Head Start program requires teachers to use the Oneida language on a daily basis. Parents are given tapes and a book to continue language lessons at home.
The program has 123 children enrolled for the fall. About 40 to 50 are on a waiting list.
