"Spirit of the Ancestors"-Ulth-ma-koke is by far my very favorite character in our history. And I prefer the term history to mythology because all of these things in our culture spring from the real, actual beings and actual experiences. This represents a person of my father and uncle's generation. - Hyacinth Joe David
