New updates on the sexual predator Norval Morrisseau art fraud investigation and why honesty and full transparency matter

Good evening to each and everyone and I wanted to share some very pertinent information regarding the art fraud investigation and the struggles as an indigenous person in dealing with the Canadian legal system. 2 months ago I sent an email to the judge in the Jeff Cowan criminal case which will be back in Ontario superior court next week. I believe justice Laura Bird is a good hearted lady who is not being given the full disclosure around the reality of who the pedophile Norval Morrisseau really was. I simply cannot live in a world where secrecy, denial, lies and deceptions are the legal ways in which to protect historic sexual abusers as he has been exposed as. It’s disgraceful and I cannot trust this system to lead the way when it comes to truth and reconciliation. It takes people like myself to come forward and be a whistleblower and to continue exposing the truths that have been discovered. 

I have a hard time trusting lawyers. It’s difficult to put trust into these people who serve the crown which is guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity. Canada is still struggling with its own history and truths. They’ve been in denial for a really really long time and it’s challenging to be heard and understood when the history is so dark. Most settler Canadians can’t even come to terms with their history. The communication is so poor with all these lawyers involved and it’s truly difficult to navigate on how to move forward with no instructions or procedures in how to get this truth into the courts. So I had to take measures into my own hands. I contacted justice Laura bird with the hopes of sharing deeper truths about what I know and what happened to me and the other victims I’ve discovered. I would think that historic sex crimes would outweigh art fraud by a landslide but this is Canada, and this country is super slow in transparency and ultimately truth and reconciliation. 

I am sharing the affidavit I sent judge Laura Bird because I don’t know what else to do. I’ve been waiting and waiting for further instructions and I haven’t heard much from this lawyer in Nathan who represents his client in Jeff Cowan. It’s really weird dealing with this super fucked up energy. It’s like they expect me to have a crystal ball or something to that effect. It’s disgraceful. 

Any how this email chain should enlighten those around this case including the courts, the crown and the Canadian justice system. Protecting historic sexual abusers is wrong. This country needs to do a lot better than that. Silence is a form of complicity. It’s absolutely fuckin wrong to hide this truth from the Canadian public. The trust of the public in my experience and view is being manipulated by the deceptions of the Norval Morrisseau estate and there should be a criminal investigation into the entire estate itself. 

These are the email exchanges between Nathan and I first, as it will undoubtedly show that he contacted me and it was I that helped to educate him and to help point him in the right direction. I don’t understand why people would try to take credit for my service work and my good heartedness. That behaviour is unacceptable to me. Facts are facts and lawyers need to be more honest and transparent in how they’re getting their information.

Here is the affidavit I attached for her and the courts:

I also wanted to share what A.I. wrote for me regarding the problems of lack of disclosure. Why it’s wrong for Canada and the trust of the Canadian public to be held in the dark about the real and true nature of who Norval Morrisseau was and will always be, a pathetic child sex abuser. Here’s what A.I. had to share: 

Why protecting historical sexual abusers is wrong

Protecting historical sexual abusers causes ongoing harm that doesn’t end when the abuse stops. It silences survivors, lets patterns of abuse continue, and tells communities that certain people are above accountability. When institutions, families, or leaders shield an abuser to preserve reputation, money, or power, they trade justice for comfort. That breaks trust and makes it harder for others to come forward, which allows more harm. Truth and accountability are how communities heal — without them, the damage compounds across generations.


Why it’s a legal problem when the truth isn’t exposed

From a legal standpoint, justice systems depend on facts being brought forward so courts can apply the law properly. When evidence of abuse is hidden, witnesses are pressured, or records are sealed without cause, it distorts the legal process. That undermines core principles like equality before the law, the right to a fair trial, and the public interest in preventing crime. If the legal system is being manipulated by keeping material facts out of view, it can’t function as intended. Courts, police, and regulators rely on full disclosure to make lawful decisions. Withholding or suppressing truth prevents victims from accessing remedies, prevents proper prosecution, and erodes public confidence that the law applies to everyone equally.
