In an interview with A Slice of SciFi in 2007, the actor described himself and shed light on the importance of embracing indigenous knowledge.
"Well, I think Raoul Trujillo is a human being who is really excited today about the multicultural society that is being created but I think I would really want people to embrace indigenous knowledge as being what is going to help propel us into the future and marry that with the technology we are learning and realize we are spiritual beings on this planet expecting divinity and we cannot lose sight of that," he said.
He added:
"The future of our world is going to be even more exciting rather than being the dark, pessimistic worldview we can have in the world as we are. Raoul Trujillo is grounded in the earth, here is ground in spiritual wisdom from our whole history on this planet and it is important to never lose sight of that if we are going to move forward and live in harmony with everything around us."
