[RNLD] benefits of speaking indigenous language

[Bill Palmer]

Hi all

Can someone point me to a neat set of statistics relating to the benefits of speaking an indigenous language, in terms of lower incarceration rates, lower suicide rates, better health outcomes etc etc. I've heard a lot of anecdotal stuff and some figures I now can't locate. I want to have something concrete for a language endangerment class.
