A song is an important component in our life, and it's really easy. When I'm teaching an indigenous language and I find the person having trouble pronouncing a word, I tell them to sing the word and they'll overcome the difficulty of their pronunciation. A song is an important ingredient that lifts up one's spirit and develops a sense of pride in our children. I think that's what we have to rebuild, and sometimes it may take song to get us back into speaking our language.
