To set the record straight for future generations….
Good afternoon to each and everyone and welcome to another article here at Jacobson native art on national truth and reconciliation day. In sharing the truth around my new case regarding suing the estate of Norval Morrisseau I feel really good about where I’m at. Last week I went through a 7 hour grilling by their lawyer in Jason Gratl, someone I’ve come to truly feel sorry for. It is absolutely bizarre how this colonial system operates on stolen Indian lands. Having a white colonizer who represents the estate who obviously wasn’t there when the sexual assault took place in 2006 felt super gross and ugly. Trying to explain my self and in what happened to me and in those events to someone who wasn’t even there feels really weird. It’s obvious to me these people are not our allies regarding truth and reconciliation.To see how these colonizers operate on our lands is truly mystifying. It’s scary to see how they make their money and provide for their children. Trying to make me look bad or to even suggest that I don’t make sense. It’s disgusting. They tried using my past against me, my mental health struggles, my trauma. It’s a super gross energy but I made a commitment to myself that I would stand up and do the right thing. To bring attention to these facts and discoveries of Norval Morrisseau being a sexual abuser of young children, young boys and young men. I will not give in to their fake claims and accusations against me. I am a true survivor of the 60’s scoop and I am a survivor of a sexual assault that happened to me. As gross and as embarrassing as that is. Having both Norval and his pimp in Gabe Vadas doing what they did. They should have never crossed that line with me.
As for the dysfunctional ceo of the estate in ding dong Dingle making his false claims about me wanting to be a gatekeeper and that I asked for permission to be the new spiritual leader of the woodland school taking over for Morrisseau?
Holy fuck….lol.
What a joke. You know nothing about our culture and I would never need to go to a white man and ask permission regardless. The truth is I’ve never asked such a stupid request. The estate needs to get this through their thick fuckin skulls. I don’t respect or honour the legacy of a child sex abuser. I don’t see myself as a lesser artist than Morrisseau. I’m a better artist and I’m a much better human being. I’m a much better father as well. So I don’t think they have the ability to see that. They are still razzled and dazzled by the legacy of a child sex abuser. That’s the reality here. It’s not about our culture for them, how could it be? Dingle doesn’t even know the protocol about how we Indians get our spirit names…lol. Idiot. Any how I feel good about where I stand and I’m looking forward to having my day in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. I have to continue moving forward even under such pressure and difficulty regarding taking my claim through the colonial court system. I believe that the Supreme Court will be open to hearing my story, my truth.
On that note here is a recent article from CTV news about answering the false information in the estates recent affidavit. I look forward to more being revealed. Miigwetch. Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π
