"Language is intrinsic to all expressions of life; it is important for communicating our values, our beliefs, our customs; it tells us and guides us in our social function and fosters feelings of our group identity and our solidarity together. We understand that when we dream, we dream in our language. All of that has cracks in it because of not being allowed to speak it”- Dr. Caroline Hughes (AIATSIS)
