2. The Walsers are people who are descended from ancient Germans. They live in the higher areas of the alps at about 1,200 meters of altitude. The people of the Walser culture wear almost Scottish style clothing (without the plad manskirts) and fairly large hats that are sometimes tied to the bottom of their jaw. They are an independent, free, and hardworking society who till their lands and rely heavily on agriculture (http://www.tangoitalia.com/turismo/piemonte/alagna_walser.html).
3. "Many historic cultural associations work today to keep and promote the Walser tradition making of Alagna an active center for the circulation of the history of the Walser people."This quote is from a website that has a page dedicated to telling the world about the Walser language and community. It tells about their struggles, their foundation, and their independence. The website wants the world to acknowledge the individuality of these people, and they want the Walser culture and language to be preserved (http://www.tangoitalia.com/turismo/piemonte/alagna_walser.html).
