I don't want to put words in your mouth, except I do. This has to do with when I worked as a prison chaplain in the north. The number of incarcerated first nations or indigenous people there was high. I was convinced as I met with and talked to them that their capacity at language, or lack thereof, had actually put them in jail when they shouldn't have been in jail. I am quite convinced that if we don't restore and revitalize language, we will continue with incarceration rates that are too high.
I just wonder if you have any insights into that. I know it's not quite your field.
