Comments on speakers
"El español tiene un rol en la comunidad seri, mayormente en sus contactos con el mundo hispanohablante en las áreas de la educación, el comercio, el gobierno, la investigación científica, el turismo, y la iglesia. La educación formal se da casi completamente en el español desde el principio." [Spanish has a role in the Seri community, mainly for contact with the Spanish-speaking world in the areas of education, commercial ventures, government, scientific investigation, tourism, and church. Formal education is almost completely in Spanish from the beginning.]
