Fuck you Canada and fuck this Norval Morrisseau art fraud police investigation...

I’m not in a happy and loving place these days. I can rest my blame on Canada and their brutal murdering spree of destroying generations of lives with the discovery and recovery of our residential school children. I fuckin hate Canada. I despise the Catholic Church. I fuckin hate what you did to us, what your doing to me with these retraumatizing experiences that I feel each and every day. It’s a fuckin miracle that I haven’t picked up a drink. (Been 23 years now) I feel like destroying myself. But some how, some way, I must find a way through this. 

This Norval Morrisseau police investigation has been nothing but a continual let down of trust, patience, justice and truth. The old concepts of “to serve and protect” is a total fucking lie. All that really matters to these cops is their pay cheque. To follow orders as outlined in the Canadian colonial playbook. They have offered nothing in regards to support, updating information or courtesy contact. 

They don’t understand the real significance of this investigation and protection of our culture. How could they? They’re all white cops. What their concerned about is upholding their ass backwards colonial rule of law and receiving that pay cheque every 2 weeks on stolen Indian land albeit. The whole thing is one big gigantic shit show. I don’t have much faith in any of this. The people around Morrisseau especially. Mostly all concerned about the money part of this rather than anything truly resembling truth and reconciliation or the real protection of the authenticity of my culture.

Many Indians around this whole fiasco are to blame as well. Morrisseau’s own children and family. Vampires in reality feasting on the legacy after death by bastardizing the whole thing with selling fakes, making fakes and total prostitution of the copyrights. Absolutely disgusting and a national shame for First Nations and Canadians alike. And fuck them too. I feel no pity for that whatsoever. What a disgrace. 

After 17 + years regarding this investigation, I have little faith that the police investigation will make a significant impact. Sure they’ll nail most of the “black drybrush” fakes, (that’s because we’ve done most of the work) but I’m very suspicious of any real efforts with regard to the 10 plus waves of fake Morrisseau’s out there. And the current reality of the Norval Morrisseau estate?

A complete fucking joke. 

Sincerely,

MAJ

Maintaining some peace and serenity in this crazy and fucked up world we all live in

Truth be told, we have been very blessed for the most part since we left Vancouver in 2017 and moved out here to the Kootenay mountains. The timing of the birth of our son in Sagein which happened in Nelson BC on December the first, and making our rounds throughout the Kootenays has been a deeply fulfilling experience so far. Most people that we have met have been courteous, friendly, understanding and respectful. 

We have experienced some racism, discrimination and ugly bullies who have tried to flex their shit on us but we beat that vibe inside and out by praying and petitioning the great powers of the Universe on their behalf and on behalf of their entire family bloodlines. I call these types of prayers and requests “unfuckable”. Because they bring you immediate spiritual armour from their madness and other associated ‘spiritual sicknesses” that they don’t even know they carry and have.

It’s why I wear medicine and crystals and precious stones etc. Because these things protect me from getting hit. It’s an old Indian trick passed down from those super smart grandma’s and grandfathers in the spirit world. The ancestors. Look, I’m already a pretty fuckin wild cat as they say. Being out here in nature spirit like this each and every day for more than 5 years now has truly answered so many questions. I live in a very small community of 300 souls out here on the east shore of Kootenay lake. 

We are tucked away deep in these mountains. Quietly hidden from the rest of humanity while the entire world tries to recover from the Covid pandemic. We are super fortunate in this regard as well. We have become masters of self isolation and social distancing by Mother Nature’s very existence out here each and every day. All those who live here are pretty much on the same beam of light in this regard as well. It’s the one thing we all have in common living out here. That somewhere within us all out here, we can connect, learn and grow in the knowledge that we are all children of Mother Earth.

The reality is we are healing from genocide, colonialism and oppression here @ Jacobson native art


Below is data report on numbers of children murdered by Canada. March, 2022
Blessings to all my relations who are brave and strong enough to wake up to these facts of our genocide as First Nations people here on our land. The tragedy is absolutely horrifying and unbearable to feel and understand on so many levels. The unyielding madness of this genocidal operation in Canada and the force and control being exercised upon us is absolutely fucking pathetic. Killing our children and building your dreams on the backs of these murdered children is beyond gross, beyond any sense of humanity.

Yet the denial of these truths continues on in how this thing called Canada all came to be. It’s so fucked. What’s even more fucked is how white Canadian settlers think that this is a natural occurrence. Conquer and destroy is their motto. White pride being heralded as the great light upon humanity. Makes me wanna barf. Ignorance of their own history and campaigns of murder upon my people. I see it in the settler. Their black abyss looking eyes. Soulless and empty...in dire need of light and healing. 

Most of them Fuckin abusers and nothing more. 

To combat this “fuckedupness“ we paint, we create, we teach and share, we sing, we drum and we dance. That’s how we fight this blackness and sickness of Canada. Guilty of crimes against humanity, selfish oppression of my people and our culture and yet still, I’m thriving and am fully alive. Fuck you to all who think otherwise. I have you and your flag of shit completely beat and mastered each and every day that I’m alive. Not only that but so does my kid, my son. He’s 4 years old and I teach him every single day about these beautiful ways in which we have as Anishanabe. He will learn about the truth behind what has happened to our people from every generation since it’s beginning. He is a direct descendant of all these murdered residential school children.

He embodies their light by being the seed they couldn’t kill, that they couldn’t destroy. Like me, his father. We shed this darkness by actually practicing our culture each and every day. We give reverence and actual living proof of experience by acknowledging these children who were taken way too soon by a corrupt and murderous nation in Canada. I can laugh at the devil right in front of his ugly clown face.

And I don’t pity you at all. Your an embarrassment. It’s really the same shit being done by Russians towards the people of Ukraine. It’s just disguised a little differently. We First Nations are world leaders in unravelling the colonizer’s lies. That’s why they hate us so much. Because from every generation since then, we remind them of their crimes, of their hate, of their lies and deceptions, of just how corrupt their society truly is when being built as it has on the truth of what they did and continue to do. Which of course is murder, crimes against humanity, stealing our land and resources and continual and perpetual oppression of us to have your white settler/Canadian immigrant way of life. 

We are still in the discovery of the truth phase when it comes to this idea of truth and reconciliation....

In my world and reality: You wanna fuck around? You’ll find out

Poster credit above: Former apprentice John Zemanovich 
 
Good evening to each and everyone. Once again just a short message tonight about keeping things honest and absolutely fuckin crystal clear. With regards to the depths of this art fraud in Norval Morrisseau art and defrauding our culture and teachings the time is near for a great awakening. Many who were and are selling fakes? I’ve got your number and through a few of my proxies, we are definitely coming for all of you.

Make no mistake about it. There will be dozens and dozens of arrests. There will be recognition world wide on just how layered this fraud is. Your time in laughing all the way to the bank will be over. This fraud has affected not only Morrisseaus art market but all native artists who are trying to make a living at what they love most, the art and creating it. This fraud has stolen millions of dollars from all of us. The Canadian government has a role in helping to clean this up as another path towards truth and reconciliation. 

My expectations are massive. I’ve been involved in this investigation for over 17 years now. Morrisseau’s family and children will have to directly apologize to us First Nations and all Canadians alike for their involvement in these crimes. Same goes for all dealers who sold these fakes including those crooked bastards at kinsmen Robinson galleries in Toronto Ontario. This is really a white settler colonial sickness where these asswipes have tried to make these fakes real. The Ontario superior court will need to acknowledge their role in authenticating fakes through their rule of law and absolutely getting it wrong. 

There is a lot that has to be righted. I’m watching very closely. I’ll be focused on what the size and scope of this national police investigation brings to the table. I’ll be paying close attention to their details and results. The end is near...these fakes will be outlined and destroyed. Mark my words. All my relations, MAJ
