"As an artist who himself draws much inspiration from Miskwaabik Animikii (Norval Morrisseau) and the Anishinaabe culture and beliefs he represented, I've known Ugo for a couple of weeks. So far, our conversations have been restricted to only a couple of telephone calls and an occasional e-mail, yet I cannot but full-heartedly agree with Mr. Ryan McKellar about his observations and opinion of him. I also agree with Mr. McKellar that it is a shame (or at least ironic) that it is often an outsider who has to confront a people with their own (often uncomfortable and painful) history, or open their eyes to a treasure trove of things they never even knew it existed. But I guess only an outsider can provide a people with a broad and truly unbiased version of what has been going - and still goes on - right under their noses. In my opinion passion-driven people like Ugo Matulic, as they more often than not are misunderstood or even rudely ignored by mainstream society, deserve to be regarded as heroes of our time for bringing out the truth.

Ugo Matulic is a modern-day warrior in the best tradition of the Peoples and artists he is devoting his life to."
