[RNLD] benefits of speaking indigenous language

[Adriano Truscott]

HI Bill, 

I’m just going through my enormous email backlog follow a particularly busy period.  I’m sure you’ve got adequate info back on this. 

For what it’s worth, I’m thinking going straight to the Social Justice Reports, especially 2008 ( and/or 2009?) for a swift start.

Best wishes, 

Adriano

I want to have something concrete for a language endangerment class.
