If you know two cultures and two languages, that intermediate place, where the two don't perfectly meet, is really interesting.
As Indigenous peoples, we know there is more to the world. We know spirits exist. We know as women, because we're especially attuned to this kind of knowledge, that spirits exist and have a presence in our lives. Some of us are gifted and can communicate with the spirit world. Not everyone has that gift and can perceive the borders between the living and the dead and our society actively discourages us of exploring the knowledge of what many of us have already always known in our cultures.
If we were multilingual, imagine how much you would learn about your own culture, about the sensibilities of what's important in your own culture.
