This sends my mind in a lot of positive, productive directions, Chris. Thank you.
I taught high school for a long time. One of the toughest things to do: Don’t let their overt disinterest be confused with actual disinterest. I’d bet plenty that many of these youth were impacted in surprising ways.

I sure appreciate your notions about language. I recall driving to Malta from Bozeman to pheasant hunt many times over the years. I loved listening to the word of the day from KGVA 88.1 out of Ft. Belknap for White Clay and Nakoda languages. I think the station is out of the Aaniiih Nakoda College. Language sharing can be uplifting, joyful, and fun. When I participate, I’m mindful of my ignorance but also of the pleasure and trust in language sharing.
“Don’t let their overt disinterest be confused with actual disinterest. I’d bet plenty that many of these youth were impacted in surprising ways.” I love this, and it’s so true, even for adults. Sometimes when I’m sharing something kind of dicey, people’s faces glaze over and they later say, “I never thought about it that way.” And I’m like, “Oh, that was your ‘I’m listening’ face? I thought it was your ‘I hate you’ face!” lol
