A vanishing North Dakotan is the pioneer who immigrated from Ukraine at the end of the 19th century.
He came here, filed a claim, built a sod shanty and raised a family. Through toil and perseverance, he built for us churches and schools, productive farms and bustling towns.
If the prairies he settled, at the foothills of the Badlands, were the testing ground for the survival of the fittest, the Ukrainian pioneer passed that test.
Today, the majority of the Ukrainians are still living largely in their original region with individual families living throughout the state.
