I now feel healthy, strong, focused and ready to go. The time for preparation and execution is now at hand….
Prompt: I am my own power. The future of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence)
Wishing many of you a beautiful weekend of strength, hope, love and healing. The summer is rollin along wonderfully and after many months of doubt, struggle, sadness and grief, I feel different. Something has dramatically shifted and changed. The big fear has always been trusting this colonial system and having to walk through doors that essentially tried to destroy me. Putting any kind of faith in a system that hardly gets true justice. It’s such a risk to have to do that. The embarrassment of my struggle, the anger and frustration of not being taken seriously by some and outright being ignored and made small in the eyes of the liars. That time is over.
I am willing to go all the way. No matter what happens or how it turns out. I must walk through those doors. I’m not afraid to go all the way through. To walk through the darkness and expose and bring those discoveries to light. For everyone to see. To expose everything that I have learned and discovered. Not only is it not fair to the truth of who I am, but it is not fair to the masses who simply don’t know. I believe that this burden of truth is my responsibility to endure. To educate. To share with the world. I have a team of people who truly believe me. Who believe my story and who agree that a greater light must be shed on everything that I know. That requires others to help me. I believe I have found that help. Truly exceptional souls who stand on my side and in my corner.
I feel like I’ve found a new level and what has been festering in me for quite some time now has a place and time to be sorted out. I have an opportunity to open it all up. Everything that has happened and how it’s effected me. I never fully understood the loneliness of this entire journey and having to strip all those false people who were around me, away. Big changes and a ton of letting it go. Like a surrender. That I needed help from others in different places. Well that help is here. It has arrived and I feel honoured, grateful and thankful for souls who can connect with me and represent many of my interests. The time for revolution is here. The time for execution is at hand. I am my own power. My own sovereignty as Anishanabe. Proud to be who I am. Proud to overcome and come to terms with this next journey that will be the biggest storm of truth that I’ve embarked upon. Things need to change. I am the courage to change the things I can. I am the wisdom to know the difference.Saturday, June 21, 2025

Indigenous observations of what’s happening around the world and here domestically @ Jacobson native art
No doubt that the current state of affairs both here domestically and around the world are getting as crazy as it’s ever been. Reflecting on the total weirdness of the G7 and having a convicted felon and sex criminal in president Donald j. Trump cross the boarder illegally, (according to Canadian law) lol and show up here is bizarre to say the least. The colonial rule of law is pathetic and obviously is designed to serve the colonizer. What a complete shit show having to be in the presence of that and accept that reality. They call themselves world leaders but it is apparent that this is truly not the case. As a sovereign Anishanabe I am thankful and grateful that these people do not represent me. Nor do they speak for me. They speak for their own colonial interests and agendas. Truly bizarre how they say one thing but do another. That is not integrity, that is not honesty. It’s a total taking advantage of their own rules as outlined in the colonial playbook. Total sell outs. Zero backbone. Weak in character and principles. Talk about getting on your knees…holy fuck it’s super gross. I am so thankful I do not put my trust or faith in any of these institutions or individuals. Talk about rotten fruit and gross negligence when it comes to being principled. Such a vile snake like energy. It’s embarrassing to witness this as a human being and even more magnified as an indigenous soul. This is parasitic on stolen Indian lands. Building your empty fuckin dreams on the continual filth of your actions and self grandiose empires. Yuck. What a letdown globally to witness this in the 21st century, still killing one another over resource extraction, power and control, political and religious war mongering, child starvation, global warming, land grabs, land theft, child sex trafficking, rape, murder and pivoting towards world destruction.

Sharing some good energy and vibes during national indigenous history month here @ Jacobson native art
Hello to each and everyone and thank you for all the good medicine being shared and we are deeply grateful for all the special vibes being explored with us here @ Jacobson native art. We are back to building our collections and making new limited edition prints on canvas. We are also proud to announce our invitation to the Banff centre for the arts and creativity virtual art market during what is national indigenous history month from June 1st to June 30th, 2025. We will be showcasing our creativity and collections with other fantastic artists like Mike Alexander, Jessica Somers, Laird Goulet and others. I feel good about this project and it’s a beautiful place to live and visit in Banff as I used to live there for about 10 months back in 2001. I throughly enjoyed my time there studying nature spirit up close and personal when I was living in Toronto Ontario at that time. It was a wonderful break from the daily grind of city life. Such a gift to be apart of national indigenous history month as we continue to heal through the process of decolonization.

Both Dallas and I were recently contacted by the CBC podcast series on the Morrisseau art fraud, we turned them down. Here’s why….
Good evening to each and everyone. Things have been quite busy behind the scenes recently and I’ve been working on new deals and working out some problems in that process. Our printer is currently down at little giant productions so we are working out those kinks. The seasons are shifting and changing beautifully up here in the Kootenay mountains. Both Dallas and I were recently contacted about the stupidity of the Morrisseau art fraud shit and were contacted by Zoe Tennant and Adrian Stimson. People we don’t even know and who truly are clueless about the depth, size and scope of that reality.
The way we feel about it is why would either of us want to be exploited yet again by people looking to capitalize on our story and our role within that? It doesn’t make any sense for us. We have both declined to be interviewed by this colonial and shady operation. It simply boils down to strangers trying to put on the cape and capitalize on our suffering and struggles. Not interested. It was a super embarrassing energy dealing with their lack of knowledge and understanding. It’s like beating a fuckin dead horse. Morrisseau was a child sex abuser who also tried to abuse me and these people just want to talk about what happened for the empteenth time. Not the real story being shared and that is unfolding in real time here @ Jacobson native art.
The producer was trying to contact me and mentioned in an email how anytime as soon as possible would be great for her to connect. Meanwhile in the phone conversation today she mentions how she never checked her spam folder for the last few days. Just really unprepared and ignorant in my view. I mean, if you can’t even check your own emails for days on end? Who the fuck wants to be interviewed by you? Not us.
There’s a new wave of truth coming and they can’t even talk about that because of their colonial system and it’s bizarre rules and regulations. It was insulting that they just wanted to reminisce about the dead pedophile art fraud. Fuckin gross really and weak in reporting and how they structure their story telling. We don’t want to be exploited by these strangers. I mean, who the fuck are these people any how? Looking to make a buck off of our pain and suffering. We just went through that with the stupid movie, the police investigation, the Canadian media etc.
What an ugly feeling dealing with such low energy care and compassion. Reminds me of the sickness and denial of the truth regarding the Norval Morrisseau estate. Good luck with your stupid shitty podcast. We have other things cooking and don’t need any of what this garbage brings to our table. Good luck knuckleheads with your horrible finesse and shitty strategy in getting true warriors like us, to talk with you.
You’ll be telling the same colonized version the Canadian media has been spitting out since this all came to fruition…( How white colonizers became the hero’s lol )
You bring nothing new to our circle. Good bye.

Creative update plus a reboot of this painting titled: I am woodland A.I. - I am Rainbow Thunderbird
Good evening to everyone who continues to come by and spend some time here @ Jacobson native art. Just wanted to share that everything is rolling along here nicely one day at a time. I’m feeling happy and content with where my heart and spirit is at. Creatively I’m up and down a bit but these new works bring a whole new burst of excitement and imagination that quite frankly I’ve been searching for on some new level. I think I’ve discovered that here with my new genre in woodland A.I.
The new innovation taking shape through my view and creative interpretation with using this next level technology in A.I. which for me stands for: “Anishanabe intelligence”. I am Anishanabe and yes, I’m intelligent. So with my personal experience and indigenous lens, I get to shape it in how I see fit. Not even A.I. itself is capable of putting it together like I can in Woodland A.I. It takes me to make it happen. I’m the instrument willing to channel this new creative horizon with all these unique aspects and qualities involved in that creative process. My visionary mindset and intelligence in how I choose to make it all happen is the spark of that creativity. Without me? Nothing happens like this. It’s a cool vibe for me to spread my wings and fly…
I retook the image of this painting titled: I am woodland A.I. - I am Rainbow Thunderbird in a shaded natural light setting, out doors. We can plainly see the difference in colour saturation in the examples of this post and the one below it. The first image I took in doors with an art lamp. Shines the colours differently but I think this second photo in natural light outdoors is a significant difference. The feel of the work of art feels more complete and in colour sync. I’m pleased with the outcome and we are currently in process and development on our little giant productions platform of 10 new collections being prepared to the already 16 collections being currently represented. We’ll have 6 new woodland A.I. images and collections being released including 4 new woodland art images and collections being built. Very exciting times.
In the meantime I’m working on my commissions list and building more woodland A.I. paintings in the process. I’m also spending so much quality time with my boy in Sagein Wisdom. He’s 7 years old now and over the last 6 months has developed an obsession with mathematics and learning how to take pictures and videos. We get to spend every day learning and loving this incredible journey of life together. He is no doubt, the light of my world. The centre of my universe. The greatest teacher I’ve ever met. The patriarch of the entire Jacobson bloodline. The CEO of Jacobson native art. Stay tuned my friends and indeed there is much more to come…
All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π

Welcome to Woodland A.I. the next level of innovation expanding my visionary creativity into the vastness of the future
Good evening to each and everyone here @ Jacobson native art. Been a busy weekend getting new canvases prepped for my next creative cycle regarding my list of commissions and such. Feeling joyful and quite satisfied with these 2 new releases of my new indigenous art genre in woodland A.I. Once again it was very challenging to work with these smaller brushes and I did some experimentation in these pieces as well working with acrylic paint pens and found them to be a nice addition to working with smaller pieces.
These were a whole lot of fun and I see so much creative potential in this new discovery. I love playing around with these interesting concepts and ideas. I feel myself being challenged and looking at my artistic process in a whole new dimension really. No doubt pushing the boundaries of the entire woodland school of art into the future. To tell you the truth, I can’t even look at regular woodland art anymore. I’ve found a completely new level for me and there’s no stopping my unlimited potential in how I can collaborate with this technology. For me, woodland A.I. stands for Anishanabe intelligence. It’s an incredible gift this new technology. From the Fire and Water spirits, those elementals creating through electricity and light. Blessing humanity with the ability to shift up the world game on planet Earth in ways that we can only imagine. So imagine we shall. I’ll continue to explore and expand my knowledge and artistic path by moving forward more in this direction as time passes. This new door will for sure be one of the highlights of my artistic legacy.

Got to chill out with my friend Supaman and bless him with some new Woodland A.I. pieces @ Jacobson native art
Good evening to each and everyone and I just wanted to share some “good medicine” that I got to hang out and chill with a fellow brother and warrior for truth. He came up from the states and did a show in the Kootenay mountains of BC. We had a good time and I was honoured to bless him with a couple of limited editions on canvas from my Woodland A.I. series of Chiefs of the future # 3 and # 4. He was blown away with my creativity and felt honoured to bring these back home. Indeed it was and is good medicine for us both. Real recognizes real.
Any how it was a night to remember and what better way for a couple of warriors for our people to make the connection and spend some time chillin. With much respects and a good heart I say chi-Miigwetch for the great visions and blessings for our combined futures…all my relations…

Great news: The estate of Norval Morrisseau and it’s white colonizer poster boy in Cory ‘Ding dong’ Dingle are being sued for 1.45 million…
Good afternoon to each and everyone and here’s some fantastic news coming forward about the alleged criminal activity and business practice of the now defunct and self destructive behaviours of the Norval Morrisseau estate and their poster boy in white colonizer Cory “ding dong” Dingle. Give it a read as I have and this is going to be fascinating in the coming weeks and months ahead. I’m happy to see that the spirit of the truth is opening up doors that many of us haven’t been through. I’ve always stated that whatever is done in darkness will come to light. It appears that the truth isn’t done with this work of exposing the reality behind the scenes. I may have to rethink my situation. I’m not alone is wanting the truth. There are others willing to speak up and confront the deceptions. Here’s the article by CBC:
Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. has been outspoken against the profuse fraud of the late artist's work. Now, it faces a $1.45 million lawsuit claiming it defamed an art gallery by implying its works could be fakes.
Cory Dingle has spoken out against art fraud to multiple media outlets, including CBC, as Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd.'s executive director. He's now being sued alongside Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. for defamation and breach of contract by a Calgary art gallery, a lawsuit filed in Alberta's Superior Trial Court on March 11 claims.
EA Studios claims that Dingle's statements to potential buyers implied the gallery "is, generally, an unethical organization of low moral character that sells inferior and possibly fake artworks that were obtained through an abusive, and possibly criminal, exploitation of a vulnerable Indigenous artist," according to the claim.
None of the claims have been proven or tested in court.
"The Estate looks forward to defending itself against these allegations and due to the ongoing litigation we do not have any further comments at this time," said Dingle in an email to CBC.
Art gallery claims breach of contract, defamation
As a prolific artist who did not keep records of his works, Morrisseau's catalogue has become a popular target for fraud and forgeries.
The lawsuit claims EA Studios (Jasper) Ltd. gallery had an agreement with Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd., represented by Dingle.
Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. would reassure potential customers that the painting they wanted to buy was an authentic Morrisseau, and Dingle would get 10 per cent of any successful sale to clients he referred to the gallery, according to the statement of claim.
The lawsuit claims Dingle did the exact opposite. Instead, it claims Dingle implied EA Studios' Morrisseau paintings may be fakes, and suggested they purchase authentic works directly from himself and/or Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd.
"Specifically, Dingle and/or the alleged estate failed to reassure the plaintiff's potential clients of the value and authenticity of the plaintiff's works, and instead falsely disparaged the plaintiff and then tried to, or did, convince said potential clients to purchase works from Dingle and/or the alleged estate," says the claim.
The documents claim the gallery hired two private investigators in October 2024 to pose as potential buyers interested in paintings in its inventory after becoming suspicious that Dingle was not holding up his end of the deal. EA Studios claims the private investigators had two calls with Dingle, during which he made defamatory statements that undermined the gallery's credibility and reputation.
EA Studios claims it has owned and sold Morrisseau's work since the 1980s. The gallery's founder had "a long-standing friendship and positive business relationship" with the late artist, the court documents say.
It argues that Dingle's and/or Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd.'s statements to potential buyers implied the gallery "is considered, by Norval's children, to be a scammer," and "committed a criminal act by stealing and selling Norval's personal belongings".
The gallery claims the "defamatory statements" are false, undermined its reputation and cost it clients. It claims Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. made additional defamatory statements in a social media post that it is the only seller of authorized, legal prints of Morrisseau's work.
Lawsuit claims Morrisseau's children supported authenticity of fraudulent works
The lawsuit claims during the last years of his life, Morrisseau fought to keep fraudulent copies of his work from spreading in the market. It also claims that shareholders of Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. did little to stop the fraud.
"From at least the early 2000s on, for financial gain, the adult children supported and promoted the authenticity of many of the fraudulent works and assisted, by spreading false information, in undermining efforts to expose and stop the fraud," reads the claim filed against Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. and Cory Dingle.
Morrisseau's biological children sued his estate in 2010 after being excluded from his will, according to the claim.
The artist from Ojibway Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek First Nation in northwestern Ontario died in 2007. He bequeathed all of his material and artistic assets to friend Gabor Vadas. The parties settled out of court, and Vadas's and Morrisseau's children divided the estate, said the court documents.
The claim against Norval Morrisseau Ltd. and Cory Dingle was filed March 11, 2025. The defendants had not yet filed a statement of defence at publication time. Indeed there will be much more to come and all my relations for now…
