Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- On a recent trip to Bolivia, I
traveled by helicopter with President Evo Morales to Santa Ana
de Chipaya, a settlement almost 13,000 feet (3,960 meters) above
sea level that is home to the last 3,800 speakers of the Chipaya
language. There, we played soccer with members of the community,
who then served us a lunch of lamb and quinoa, a grain-like crop
that people in and around Chipaya have grown for thousands of
years.
