Sharing some important news today on this former assembly of First Nations national chief being exposed for historic sexual assault. Just for the record I stand in solidarity with the survivor. I know exactly how they feel and the enormous difficulty in coming forward. It takes great strength of character and a diligence that I believe is being shown by exposing people like Norval Morrisseau and Phil Fontaine. They can blame the sexual abuse they suffered as the leading cause of what makes them victimize others. But it never should excuse their behaviour as they grow up to be men, women, gay, bisexual, transgenders or however else they choose to identify. Sexual abuse should never be tolerated on any level whether order of Canada recipient or not.
It is absolutely disgraceful and this should remind all of us that when claims like this come forward? There is probably a significant reason as to why. Sexual abuse is one of the dirtiest and most scumbag things to do to others. These predators come in all shapes and sizes. These criminals in the past, present and future deserve to be exposed and the light of truth to shine on such crimes. Living or dead, you act like that and we can come forward and find a pattern in their abuse? Expose them. That’s exactly how I see that. I’ll leave a link to the article here:

Good afternoon and welcome once again to Jacobson native art. I just wanted to make some things clear for those following this story that the corruption within the estate of Norval Morrisseau runs deep. Their response to my claim being filed was an absolute joke at best. It’s pathetic really. The reality is that the estate is being run by white colonizers in Gabe Vadas and Cory ding dong Dingle who had a bizarre relationship with the child sex abuser in Norval Morrisseau. We simply cannot rely on these people to tell us the truth. They fear this truth that I am bringing forward as someone who was also sexually abused. They remind me as a 60’s scoop survivor of what took place regarding the Canadian government trying to deny what happened in residential schools. It’s the same formula from the colonial playbook. It’s absolutely disgusting. Even that poor lawyer of theirs has to step up to the plate and attempt to protect their lies. Trying everything in their colonial power to have my case dismissed before it even happens. Pathetic.
I will never honour or respect people like them who have tried to paint me in the media as some broken and confused individual. I know exactly what happened to me. First off, it’s been an embarrassing weight that I’ve had to carry for the last 19 years. Having to face this garbage on a daily basis for such a long time. Someone I once held in such high esteem to turn out to be a total piece of shit of a human being. When I found the other 6 victims and their names, I had to do something. I couldn’t just let this whole thing slide. It’s absolutely wrong to hide this truth and to say nothing. I had to come forward and believe me it certainly hasn’t been easy. The delusion that Norval was some genius and a great role model for us younger First Nations simply isn’t the truth. He sexually abused children, young boys and young men. That is the reality that I experienced and have found. I simply cannot allow Colonialism to hide our stories and discoveries. We are in a time of truth and reconciliation. Not hide and deny. That is not the future I want for anybody including most importantly, our children. Both here and now and in our future generations. The truth of these stories must have their day in court. The Supreme Court of British Columbia to be exact.
Let’s get a couple of other things cleared up here as well. As ding dong Dingle has claimed that I wanted to be like Norval Morrisseau fashioning myself like him? Lol. Not true. Before any of this happened to me I did hold a lot of respect for Norval but I never wanted to be like him. I never wanted to be gay, bisexual or a sexual abuser like Norval Morrisseau. I’m a heterosexual man, I’m a great father who is dedicated to my son and family. Regarding his art? Most people who know woodland art would say that I surpassed Morrisseau along time ago. I would agree. I simply took what he had done and made it better. Cleaner and sharper. Norval himself could never paint his own style better than I can. I’m just simply a better version. I’m a better human being and have been on the path of sobriety for the last 27 years now. Something Norval could never do throughout his lifetime. Regarding being a father? He abandoned all his children so that he could chase the colonizers carrots. He was a chronic sex addict as well who preyed on vulnerable young men and boys. I don’t act that way and I have no interest in being a sexual predator like him.
Pictured here: Gary Lamont wanted to be like his buddy here in Norval Morrisseau
There are just so many differences between us and after discovering the sex crimes and coming forward about it? Why on earth would I look to him as a cultural icon and in whom I should align my values with. It simply isn’t true what fuck nut Dingle has to say. He’s got a major invested interest in doing everything he can to try and squash this story. During the fraud investigation he was all over kigigi, ebay, Craigslist etc buying up as many Morrisseau paintings that he could. That is the reality going on here and I’m sure we’ll expose that as this story continues to unfold. My advice to all my collectors and fans is be aware. The truth I represent is real. These are truthful accounts that I am bringing to light. No lies. Just real facts of discovery and personal experience. My response through my affidavit will make these clearer because unfortunately, these people are willing to sell their souls to uphold the lies that have been revealed through my investigations on this subject. I know the truth, they can’t stand it that I’m coming forward to shed this light for many who didn’t know. To those who knew? I’ll be exposing everything that I have found. You can count on me to do so…
More to come…Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π
Good afternoon and here’s to enjoying the beautiful energy of summertime and the bountiful energy of Mother Earth. Things are moving along and I’m super proud to bring forth our 3rd fabric collection with Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art. With the amount of creativity and amazing energy that was created with our first collection in “Healing waters” and the second collection in “Sacred earth”, here we bring you a glimpse in to the future with our 3rd collection in the Changing seasons.
We’ve been super focused on this particular release because we wanted to find a way to make the 4 seasons tied into one beautiful collection. I definitely think we pulled it off and a big shoutout to the creative team with Northcott. Everything pulls together wonderfully and this is no doubt one of our finest. Feeling happy and content with this outcome and I’m looking forward to its full release in January 2026. We have so many exciting events and situations being made manifest. Indeed there will be much revelation as we move forward throughout the changing of these seasons. Just want to send a message of thank you to all the wonderful people who keep showing up in my life, family and business. So many exciting people becoming apart of our sacred circle here @ Jacobson native art.
It’s an exciting journey in the creative arts and this applies to both the good times and bad, but over the last 4 decades I’ve been privileged to create some incredible magic. I really enjoy how I can let others experience my art in unique and personal ways. To open up doors of opportunity and interaction. That through these unique partnerships I can afford many others to literally touch the fabric of my art, my soul. It’s a phenomenal vibe and I truly love to see how others create with my art. Enjoy some of these examples here and once again chi-Miigwetch for all the good medicine being shared. It definitely helps when one is true and pure who tells it as it is and is fighting the good fight. More to come….
Good afternoon to each and everyone and once again we thank you so much for your continued love, healing and support. This initiative between Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art has been a phenomenal success reaching into the very heart of healing and comforting those who have been survivors of the effects and trauma of residential schools and like myself, a 60’s scoop. With my first collection titled “Healing waters” and the new release of my second collection titled “Sacred earth” we continue to shine this beautiful light. We have seen so much love pouring forth and genuine connection being shared. I am so honoured by the response and wish to thank all the incredible efforts being shown by quilts for survivors.
This initiative has been touching the lives of those who have suffered in such a remarkable way that it is truly a spiritual privilege to be apart of. I receive many messages of gratitude and appreciation that it is humbling and deeply gratifying. My heart and soul feels absolutely blessed by the entire process. To witness the love, healing and emotional joy that comes from those receiving their quilts and to acknowledge their experiences and journey is definitely one of the greatest bright spots of my artistic life. To play such a critical role in helping to bring this healing and understanding is truly remarkable. A special shout out to all those who have participated and continue to create these beautiful quilts with regard to this movement. I thank you and love you for all that you do.
I’ll close out this article with a gigantic spiritual hug for everyone involved. Once again it is such an honour and privilege and for my creative legacy to play such an important role will be such a defining tribute. We are forever grateful and I send you all my deepest love as we continue to move forward one day at a time. Please feel free to enjoy some of these remarkable quilts and their beauty and with that...Chi-Miigwetch and all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π

Good evening to all of you and once again I thank you for your love, goodness and solidarity. We are in a time of profound healing and wellness and it is with deep gratitude to the greatness of our culture for this unique path forward. We are a “medicine family” who finds vast richness in the many roads involving the depths and spiritual practices of the Indian way of life. Our culture has provided so much intuitive healing and goodness as we recover from the effects of genocide. A day at a time. I am so honoured to be able to introduce my son to these magnificent ways of understanding. We continue to trudge the road of happy destiny and we continue to build our strengths through the practice of these ceremonies and teachings.
For me, I prefer the medicine way or peyote way of life. It has brought me so much vision and awareness and has helped to clear the path for me with regard to being a human being. I keep it real as they say. I’m not the Hollywood Indian type or a person who needs guidance from other human beings. I don’t follow that way. I have a strong and sovereign relationship to the Creator spirit and obviously I respect many of our ancestors. But not all ancestors, medicine people or elders deserve that honour. I’ve learned to take what I need and move on from those who are into bad medicine. Or who practice a false way of living, of being.
Pictured here is Sagein and I feeling super blessed and content. We live each day as full as we can. We play, create, learn and grow together as a family. Our little unit is the best I’ve ever had it. I feel so much joy and happiness being a father. I grew up without one so I know the value and I comprehend my role better than most. It’s a true privilege to lead by example and to keep them close to me each and everyday. My life is complete and I have no need for anything else. I don’t care about living the colonizers path or the colonial dream of money, fame, sex, drugs and rock and roll. It doesn’t work. It’s weak. It’s actually pathetic. It’s too easy to fall for those carrots. Look at Morrisseau and his spiritually bankrupt lifestyle. Broken family, a broken man, a sexual abuser and his broken children. Too many broken relationships etc. It’s not the path of true and realistic success. His legacy is that of a fraudulent man a fraud of a human being. A fraudulent legend. No wonder the problems and issues. It’s unclean.
Pictured here: my son Sagein Wisdom - the CEO of Jacobson native art 2024
There is a much better way. Keeping my family together and fulfilling the promise of love, trust, compassion and understanding using creativity as the light and our cultural practices, works much better. Being in the depths of these kootenay mountains and so close to the heart of Mother Earth is where it’s at. We feel so honoured to sift through all the craziness and to find our way. I no longer desire the ways of the colonizer. I’ve unconditioned the conditioning. Setting myself free along with those I truly love. This is happiness. This is the path forward. This is what “decolonization” means to me. My true identity. I don’t identify as a Canadian. I mean let’s face it, that’s not even a real thing. Like much of the colonizer’s playbook it’s a scam on stolen Indian land. That’s the reality. Even the white guy in me knows this. So I lead with my “indianness” as best as I can. A day at a time. This is what it means to find and practice my sovereignty. My identity as Anishanabe. This is what I try to show my son each and everyday. That there is a new hope in and through us. Together we can conquer all dragons, all demons and sicknesses of the settler playbook. We are destroyers of the modern windigo’s. With that I say chi-Miigwetch and all my relations...Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π
Enjoy this peyote prayer song by Louie Gonnie titled: Meditate
Good afternoon to each and everyone and thank you for all the positive energy and love these days as we transition into another season heading into the wonders of the great snowfall. Sitting up here deep in the Kootenay mountains I recently had the honour of one of my apprentices of 3 years now come up from Vancouver to pay a visit.
We got to hang out and paint, paint and paint. We shared life stories, teachings and the spiritual connection and powers inherent in the woodland school of art. That there is an order of actions and protocols that one should learn in practicing the art form. For those that do not know this or in whom do not practice the spirituality of the art? You are completely missing the point. You are lost at sea...most likely lost in the abyss of colonialism.
It is important to have understanding of the spirits of these animal clan totems in which we are blessed to work with. A working knowledge of feasting the spirits and ancestors as there is spirit memory attached to these energies involving the clarity of the art form and its spirit. We must be humble in this regard because one can hurt themselves as in the case of Morrisseau himself. Guys like Roy Thomas, Gelineau Fisher, Moses Amik Beaver, Blake Debassige, Saul Williams, my uncle Jimi Oskineegish along with a few others understood this.
The ability to practice a good sense of living your life in a good way. I would say that sobriety from alcohol is also key as the temple of the artist should be well balanced with that as well. Things like peyote, mushrooms or even pot should be regarded as medicine. For it grows from our earth mother to help us in these regards. I’m a peyote boy and have been involved with sponsoring meetings etc for 20 years now. That medicine is very very powerful for us here on turtle island. The only real way to use it is in ceremony and to pray with it, throughout the night with a fire by your side.
These things I have found to benefit my spiritual health and practice. I pray every day and do something ceremonially each day as well. My life is a living spiritual experience. This is the light that can be found in our art. This is the love found in who we are. The great Anishanabe. An honour to carry this life force into my very being, a greater honour to pass on this awareness and knowledge. From one brother to another....
All my relations...MAJ

It sure has been a very challenging and difficult journey over these last 14 months going through this deep and dark trauma of discovering all these murdered children across our stolen lands...known as colonial Canada. Many of these children are still yet to be discovered. This has been a challenging time processing all of this. I feel as though I am beginning to come to terms with this horrific reality. The emotional scaring has been so difficult to examine and feel. In honour of these beautiful children I had to go through it to truly understand my relationship to this. What it means to me as an Anishanabe, a 60’s scoop survivor, a direct descendent of the horror of residential schools.
In the second photo above is a ceremonial letting go and turning my back on anything and everything, Christian. I took all of these items and references out of my home 5 years ago, said a prayer to the CREATOR and dropped down a tobacco offering. It was done as part of my spiritual journey to decolonize. This act symbolizes my cutting these ties permanently and completely surrendering to my Indianess, my sovereignty as an Anishanabe soul here on our land, my land. I’ve also made the commitment 5 years ago as well to never step inside a church ever again. Never. I’m absolutely and 100% done. The roots must be completely severed from the abuser in order to completely surrender to the healing and move on. That is my experience.
And so it is and so it will be, focusing on the new path forward. Believing in the future of my people, our healing and wellness being the seat of the soul so to speak. Trying to be an example of the power rather than a power of example. Creator spirit is this light I am speaking to. Although this year has been a really challenging one for so many effected by these tragedies we will continue to heal and find new and meaningful ways to come together and work as a family should, the human family. We all can benefit from learning how to be more loving towards one another. In honour of the souls of these children I will continue to try and be a better me each and every day. Sending love and healing to everyone who needs it...all my relations, MAJ
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.
These are indeed very dark and challenging times. The very fact that the international criminal court will not follow through with an investigation into these Active crime scenes is perhaps some of the greatest injustice I have ever seen in my lifetime. It’s beyond appalling and should be recognized for the abortion of the rule of law that it is.
That is exactly what the rule of law is on our holy and sacred lands. A grotesque perversion of colonial white settler racism in its ugliest and shittiest of forms. Oh Canada, your home on stolen lands. Killing little innocent children in the name of progress, in pride of being a so called Canadian. Super fuckin gross and super fuckin disturbing if you ask me.
Everything I have said has come true up to this point. The absurd apology of the pope of the Catholic Church is meaningless. It has zero depth and weight. Apologizing for murder wouldn’t cut it in any courtroom across Canada as a solution that would suffice. How the fuck could it? Any normal person knows that getting away with crimes against humanity is much like nazi Germany getting away with war crimes against the Jews.
It is skin crawling disgusting. I think of anyone being proud to be a Canadian and it gives me the major shivers and hee bee gee bees. Holy fuck is right. Giving your life in honour of this country and it’s real history of murdering tens of thousands of innocent children and building your settler dreams on the very backs of these dead children makes you really think about values. I know this:
I’m absolutely grateful to be awake and to have the veil lifted so that I can truly see things as they are. I am a sovereign Anishanabe. I will continue to speak for those whose voice was robbed of them by Canada and their agents of death, the Catholic and Christian churches along with the RCMP. All twisted fucks. I’m in a place of deep healing and reflection and I will need some time to rest for a while...my soul is tired. My heart is heavy and I need time to heal from these continual acts of genocide...MAJ
Good afternoon to each and everyone. Wishing you all blessings in the highest good. I wanted to share some of the profound magic and spiritual energies between my son Sagein Wisdom and I. He has a deep fascination with our cultural ways and practices. My little chief as I call him. He is such an inspiration to me. Such a strong character and curiosity at 3 and a half years old.
This is a photo of him running the smudging ceremony at the studio and with the eagle feather he is blessing me with the sacred medicines. He has a natural way about himself with these regards. He instinctively knows how to use these tools in a gentle and loving way. He makes me so super proud. He really is the most profound and life changing soul I have ever met in my entire life. Nobody even comes close.
My journeys in life have been plenty. I’ve been to hundreds of sweatlodge ceremonies. I’ve sponsored several peyote meetings as well. I have learned many different prayer songs and ways to communicate with the spirit. My culture has been the foundation for me to heal from these active crime scenes of genocide upon my people across these stolen lands being occupied by the abuser in Canada. The deadly cause and effects of colonialism have been a major unwanted thorn in our sides. The time for real change is upon us.
We are survivors of genocide, but we are also some of the most beautiful souls on this planet. We live in 2 worlds at the same time. Our new found heritage and the cultural strength and power that that represents, and the evil and wicked regime of this sick and twisted colonial occupation. So it is here, in this reality that I aim to father my son with the very best of who I am, each and every day. He deserves it and so do I. After all the shit Ive had to live through and overcome I am so much better prepared than my parents ever were. I have slain many dragons and have broken multi generational cycles. I am a change agent and have created my whole life out of defeating the odds. Those who really know me know this to be fact.
And that is where this all matters. It’s for him, my boy. To have a much deeper and better experience moving forward one day at a time. He will reap the benefits of my experience. He will know what I know in these regards. He is willing to learn and to bring more light to the human being experience. And for that, my heart sings...for him, my little chief, my warrior’s prayer living the most beautiful and enlightened life that I can give him. My dream come true...my Sagein Wisdom...
All my relations, MAJ

Good evening to each and everyone and I appreciate all the great energy of love and support these days as we continue to trudge this road of life and destiny. Recently I made some new shifts and changes to my social media vibes and it seems to be paying off in more ways than one. I am mentoring quite a few artists these days both indigenous and non native alike.
I am born of both these worlds so it is wise for me to share my experience strength and hope in regards to turning the game around. Everyone can benefit from my truth and experience. The reality is I am a whole being. One with all things. Never separate from the whole. There is indeed all kinds of shit I don’t agree with etc in how we have been conditioned to believe and treat one another but underneath that static, is the power.
I am grateful that my reach is expanding and growing. It has always been about the healing and coming together of each and everyone of us. Time and space affords all kinds of shifts and changes. I see the underlying current of this force, this unified energy. It doesn’t matter what the mind thinks in this regard. It is the soul that should be in full control of who you are. That is where the true power is.
With that, I just wanted to express my gratitude that there are millions of souls around the world who are resonating with this new found energy and power. It is newly found for many because one must peel away the layers of bullshit that hide us from this divine knowledge and power. The colonial playbook is just that.
Good afternoon to each and everyone who continues to find me here @ Jacobson native art. Well as many of us know today is the first annual national truth and reconciliation day. Definitely another move in the right direction but a very small move it is. There is such a list of grievances against this nation called Canada.
There are many agents who are guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity including the Catholic Church, many other Christian churches as well including many of the police forces as well as the RCMP. It’s absolutely disgusting on so many levels. How, (their rule of law was invented on stolen Indian land) when the white man says to follow the rule of law but they cannot follow it themselves. They choose to find ways to hide from their crimes, to bend the law, the rules and everything else they get their fuckin hands on, to their own advantage. It’s a real dr. Jeckel and mr. Hyde scenario.
Canada and most Canadians simply cannot be fully trusted. Most Canadians are complete airheads when it comes to the history of how Canada came to be. (Even the white man in me knows this) How they got what they got....(stolen goods from stolen lands resources etc). Most Canadians dont even know how bad they got it. They are so colonized and assimilated that they literally can’t even think for themselves so they vote for white colonial so-called leaders to do the thinking for them.
And that is exactly the reason why Canada continues to fail miserably with us First Nations. Obviously there are tens of thousands of more reasons on top of that but the reality is Canada is a genocidal program built on the murder of us First Nations and the continual raping and exploitation of our resources. Our wealth. The colonial doctrine of discovery is a racist and discriminatory action against First Nations and other indigenous tribes throughout the world.
Canadians whether they know it or not, their so called country is built on this foundation. Land theft, resource theft, murder, rape, stealing our children, racism, discrimination, hate, violence, force and control. Building your dreams as Canadians on the backs of oppression, on the very backs of us First Nations. That is what Canada is. That is what it means to identify as a Canadian. It’s gross I know. But this is the truth. And we cannot have true reconciliation until we deal with these matters of truth.
I’ve always said since my awakening into my own process of decolonization and for the last few years now being in the pursuit of my sovereignty as Anishanabe that reconciliation will take time. In fact, the way I see it is that the cultural fabric of this country is still in the discovery of the truth phase. We have not even truly begun to deal with what real reconciliation will look like.
Still even in the thickness of all of this, I must continue to remain hopeful. The fog of assimilation is beginning to lift albeit very slowly across our lands. I have friends who wouldn't be able to grasp any of this 5 years ago. They now can talk more openly with me about it. I see organizations and people beginning to stand up more and more with regard to how this must shift and change for all First Nations and Canadians alike.
For now we will continue to move forward each and every day. I’m willing to seek this change and I’m willing to open up my heart to others who want to walk this path with us. I truly believe that it will remain a difficult challenge for Canada to learn how to shift and change with us. The government knows that they are in the wrong. Most of them know it. But greed, selfishness and exploitation still lead the way in the Canadian mind set. And let’s be honest, until our white settler brothers and sisters learn how to decolonize themselves, we are still a long long way from real and meaningful change. These types of Canadian settler sickness must be dealt with. It is the very poison that keeps the genocidal colonial machine still alive in this, the 21st century.

Title of tripdych: Healing the souls of our children, Size of each canvas: 30 x 48 inches (total of 90 x 48 inches) 2021
Good evening to each and everyone and I wanted to send a big shout out to all of you who continue to share in the healing and support of the discoveries of our residential school children. This energy has been a heavy one for many across this country and around the world. The challenges are difficult and the emotional terrain not so easy to navigate.
The spiritual reality of this has had and continues to have a very deep and profound effect on me. I am a direct product of the genocide and abuses of residential schools and what Canada has tried to do in wiping out my family bloodlines as Anishanabe. I am a 60’s scoop survivor. I truly represent the seeds they couldn’t destroy.
I am alive and I have a son who is also a seed they cannot destroy. We are the true spirit and life of the Anishanabe. We are stronger than ever and we will overcome. It is our destiny. We are masters at living in 2 worlds at the same time. It makes us very powerful. We will continue to thrive and move forward with a steadfast spirit honouring our ancestors, our children and ourselves.
I’m currently working on several paintings here in the studio. I am working on the above mentioned tripdych set titled: Healing the souls of our children. It has been very challenging to find the light of inspiration in such a dark energy with regard to the murder of our children. But this painting needs to happen. I must find their love, light and power and share this with the world.
Their spirits are guiding me in this piece. It has been one of the hardest paintings I’ve ever had to make. To find this painting in a sea of darkness...that’s exactly how it has been. I will continue to find a way within to accomplish this feat...to honour them, the souls of our children for all generations...past, present and future. All my relations, MAJ
