• Matt Mason must be declared the poet laureate of the Midwest! No other native son celebrates the overlooked America, its unsung citizens (from the anonymous poets to the part-time English teachers), and its expansive indigenous landscape, as well as he does. Mason's poetry is humorous when he wants to be quirky, heartbreaking when he wants to be eloquent, and though he moves effortlessly into other moods and geographies, he always returns to his first and most enduring love (and to what he knows best)-his homeland.

• I'd like to talk about free markets. Information in the computer age is the last genuine free market left on earth except those free markets where indigenous people are still surviving. And that's basically becoming limited.

• La prostitución es el triunfo supremo del capitalismo. Cuando se gane la guerra del sexo, las prostitutas deberían ser fusiladas como colaboradoras por su terrible traición a todas las mujeres, por el emplumamiento moral que hacen de las mujeres indígenas que han tenido la mala suerte de vivir en lo que ellas convierten en su terreno de follar.

• The spectacular landscape circling the fortress supplies an essential backdrop, inspiring dreamers to wander its ruins for the sake of it; North American tourists, bound down by their practical world view, are able to place those members of the disintegrating tribes they may have seen in their travels among these once-living walls, unaware of the moral distance separating them, since only the semi-indigenous spirit of the South American can grasp the subtle differences.

• I resolutely believe that respect for diversity is a fundamental pillar in the eradication of racism, xenophobia and intolerance. There is no excuse for evading the responsibility of finding the most suitable path toward the elimination of any expression of discrimination against indigenous peoples.

• Aunque muchos no nativos americanos han aprendido muy poco sobre nosotros, con el tiempo nosotros hemos tenido que aprenderlo todo sobre ellos. Vemos sus películas, leemos su literatura, rendimos culto en sus iglesias y asistimos a sus escuelas. A todos los alumnos de tercer grado de Estados Unidos se les presenta el concepto de que los europeos descubrieron América como un "Nuevo Mundo" con suelo fértil, abundantes dones de la naturaleza y gloriosas montañas y ríos. Sólo los profesores más ilustrados explicarán que este mundo ciertamente no era nuevo para los millones de indígenas que ya vivían aquí cuando llegó Colón.

• Hablando como musulmán en Occidente, veo una crisis en la autoridad religiosa, necesitamos erudición musulmana indígena que comprenda el modo de vida occidental y sea capaz de utilizar la comprensión, utilizando fuentes islámicas legítimas para aportar más erudición a nuestro modo de vida en Occidente. Eso es necesario.

• Film is the packaging of information in cans. Videotape is involved with the feeding back of process. Film rips information away from the situation for use elsewhere. Videotape can be fed back into a given situation and enrich experience. Film extends man as a spectator. Videotape extends man as a cybernator. Film imports information. Videotape implodes indigenous data.

• Wherever wolves run free, indigenous cultures have revered them as symbols of loyalty, free will, fearlessness and unity. But wolves haven't had it easy in North America, where negative myths prevail. Fear-based stereotypes and use of public lands for cattle ranching have resulted in Mother Nature's dogs being aggressively persecuted to the point of near extinction.

• I am a sports enthusiast, and if given an opportunity, I want to be a sportsman, even today. I want to promote the sport that is indigenous to India. Kabaddi is a matter of national pride. Why can't cricket, hockey, football and kabaddi be given equal platforms and co-exist? I believe that can happen.

• Now is the time to take stock of a painful part of our history. Only then can we move past it. Anything less would render generations of courageous struggle and soul-searching a truly lost cause. A lot of Canadians don't seem to want to hear it. All I can say to them is: try to listen. Open your heart, your mind. The Indian Act and residential schools did a number on us, breaking down Indigenous people, then families, communities, nations. We can learn so much from each other. There is so much to be hopeful for.

• Freud ... showed us that poetry is indigenous to the very constitution of the mind ; he saw the mind as being, in the greater part of its tendency, exactly a poetry-making faculty.

• Canada, having few indigenous prejudices, has been compelled to import them from elsewhere, duty-free, and it is the rare Canadian who is not shaken, at some time in the year, by "old, unhappy, far-off things / And battles long ago", like Wordsworth's solitary reaper. We are a nation of immigrants, and not happy in our minds.

• Amor, ¡qué volumen en una palabra, qué océano en una lágrima, qué séptimo cielo en una mirada, qué torbellino en un suspiro, qué relámpago en un toque, qué milenio en un momento, qué alegría o desdicha concentrada en el amor bendito o arruinado! Porque es esa poesía nativa que brota autóctona de la Mente, La música propia del corazón que estremece todos sus acordes, La historia sin fin que los ángeles se agolpan para oír, La palabra, el rey de las palabras, esculpida en el corazón de Jehová.

• Parecía que [había] nodos musicales en el planeta donde las culturas se encuentran y se mezclan, a veces como resultado de circunstancias desafortunadas, como la esclavitud u otra cosa, en lugares como Nueva Orleans y La Habana y Brasil. Son lugares donde la cultura europea, la indígena y la africana se encuentran y conviven, y de ahí surge un nuevo tipo de cultura y, sobre todo, de música.

• Education will lead to understanding; understanding will lead to action. Education and understanding are going to be key to moving us forward. That's why I take every opportunity I can to try to educate Canadian people on the impact of intergenerational trauma. To tell them how, until 1951, indigenous people weren't allowed to leave the reserve without a permit. That it was illegal for a lawyer to give us advice. It was illegal for us to sell our wood, our cattle, without a permit. I want the next generation to understand we have endured, we have persevered and we are getting stronger.

• In most of my films I write the music into the script. I'm listening to songs and lyrics that empower the themes of the film. There's a lot of Indigenous music that has not been heard widely and I love the idea of giving that music to the rest of the world.
