Pictured here: lighting my collection of Norval Morrisseau art on fire…August, 2023
Good evening to each and everyone and once again a sincere thanks and appreciation for those who supported me through this process and endeavour. It certainly wasn’t easy but did teach me that this system isn’t designed to really help or support First Nations, it’s a white system built to support white people primarily. That has been my experience. To find really good legal representation? It’s a lot like searching for a needle in a haystack. I thought that because this lawyer I chose was a fellow artist, I thought he’d be able to understand more. Wrong. These people are so colonized, they are not even aware of their own colonization. This guy and his firm were really poor communicators, left me stranded for weeks on end and I simply felt neglected and unimportant. Not a good recipe if you are dealing with historic sexual assault. The reality for me around this was getting very difficult to process and feel confident about. So I fired him 2 weeks ago.
I tried searching for pro bono lawyers, legal advocates, law firms, legal aid, etc to no avail. The whole process of retelling the crime, the rehashing of these events and struggles was just too difficult for me. I suffer from a brain injury and have symptoms of depression and ptsd. The weight of being in financial stress and poverty was really the killer for me. The lack of support was another challenge in finding strong legal representation. I simply don’t have the financial power to move forward. As hard as that is, it’s the reality for me. I did the best I could with what I had and that’s the tough part. I was down to my last $1200.00 dollars. I couldn’t even afford to file documents on my own if I was to even represent myself in the Supreme Court of B.C.
I believe in the truth with regard to everything that happened to me around this including the other victims I discovered and found. I will upload all the legal documents in my possession for the public record. There are still other opportunities to tell this story and I will follow through with those options as time moves forward. I have also made appointments with the BC ombudsman along with the B.C. human rights tribunal and I’ll be connecting with the B.C. law society to file a complaint. On that note, here are the files which are now all legal documents. Between the estate of Norval Morrisseau and myself, the legal fees were pushing towards $60,000.00.
That’s what it cost to get this information this far. The estate knows now that Norval Morrisseau was a sexual abuser. So should the rest of the world. I’ll never align myself ever again with this pathetic reality of the pedophile sex abuser. To me: he’s a piece of shit, forever.
First things first, my letter of resignation regarding this lawsuit sent to the law firm of the estate:
Next, my statement of claim:
After my statement of claim was filed, the estate of Morrisseau in Cory Dingle filed this. Affidavit #1:
This was my response to the estate in affidavit # 2:
I’ll add the supporting documents of the estates lawyer in Jason Gratl seeking my evidence. Here are those statements from my former law firm who represented me:
Here is my evidence of these claims including witness testimony and statements that I received from those who were abused by Norval Morrisseau and knew of some of this abuse:
Selected excerpts pertaining to sexual abuse by Tom Tom Sinclair. The writing in grey and white is Tom Tom, the writing in blue and white is me:
Exhibit A:
In this conversation Tom Tom Sinclair points out 4 victims including himself with numerous other potential victims that we may never find how many that exact number could be. Tom Tom states that Norval Morrisseau was a frequent visitor to Thunder Bay’s own “Epstein island”. Even Christi Belcourt and issach Murdoch get exposed for some of the sexual abuse that happened at their camp “Nimki”.
Next the letter from art collector and friend in Dr. Jarrod golden who worked with both David Morrisseau and myself. He is a wonderful man who has been a cherished friend for decades. He knew Norval Morrisseau was a pedophile. Here are his legal statements which have been legally documented here in my case:
Exhibit B:
Finally the legal documents from Karl burrows who was an apprentice to Norval Morrisseau for more than 17 years. He gives an account of setting the record straight about Gabe Vadas and his real relationship to Norval. He was not only Morrisseau’s pimp as I have stated honestly to you all, but was also Norvals gay lover. He knew, he was there. He seen it all including the sex trafficking that was being done by Gabe Vadas on Norvals behalf:
Exhibit C:
This is everything that I was able to get exposed into legal documentation from this experience. Truth and reconciliation doesn’t matter in my experience with the estate of Norval Morrisseau. They are willing to lie and to go to any lengths to do so. They are corrupt in my opinion and will forever be associated with trying to hide and protect a historic sexual abuser. A pedophile who could not control his filthy and dirty sexual appetites. He will always remain a pathetic sex abuser. I’ll leave you with this piece of information as well regarding my story. When this story was first published in the news media my friend asked if she could post the article on her fb page. I said sure, go ahead and educate. Someone she knew contacted her and said this about who Norval Morrisseau really was:
