Good evening to each and everyone. Once again I send out a ton of gratitude and appreciation for all of you and your amazing support as we continue to trudge the road of destiny. This next launch of our 3rd collection being unveiled is such a fantastic project and we are feeling overjoyed by the results. This is super fun and exciting and these will all be permanent collections being available for my entire artistic legacy @ Jacobson native art. Our partnership with little giant productions is absolutely phenomenal. We are building lasting collections that will endure the test of time and will be forever reflections of my art from here on in and well into the future. 


The above collection is titled: Medicine man mastering multi dimensional travel through anti gravity technology. We have stunning limited editions on stretched canvas along with super high quality Sherpa blankets, designer towels, hoodies, shirts, water bottle’s and coffee mugs. I’ll be doing a series of folding art cards as well to finish off the collections. I just feel so happy about these next levels being created in my new genre in Woodland A.I. The innovation is off the charts as I am able to bring the traditional aspects of the woodland school and launch it into the future like no one ever before. It’s super cutting edge visionary medicine. Here is the 2nd collection of our third launch, enjoy.

Once again my heart is absolutely filled with such gratitude and this collection also turned out absolutely fabulous. The title of this collection is called: Where ever I go they honour my sovereignty. I love these designs and my collaboration with A.I. technology has me pushing the creative boundaries in ways I’ve never even dreamed possible. I just feel truly blessed to open up the doors to the future like I’ve never seen in the entire school of woodland art. After 40 years of being an active creator in this art form, creating woodland A.I. is like a special gift for all my hard work over the years. It’s simply inspiring and affords me a whole new approach to creating art. I sure hope you enjoy these collections and I’ll leave the link for this collection here:


With that I say chi-Miigwetch and I look forward to sharing more creative revelations as we continue to move forward in the blessings and beauty of the Creators light… Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Good evening to everyone here who continues to support our creativity and new innovation regarding the art being envisioned here @ Jacobson native art. My collaboration with this super next level technology and through me as an artist getting to indigenize A.I. is super exciting energy no doubt. My bro in Luc is a major piece of the creative process and like we’ve shared our level of quality and precision is unmatched in this industry. There is such a vast greatness happening in the creative landscape these days and we feel that we are absolutely leading the way in how cutting edge our vibe really is. Tapping into the visionary aspects of the future that quite frankly has never been done in the woodland school at this level before. We are truly breaking new ground and making our own trail up the mountain. 

This 3rd release this evening is titled: Through decolonization I dream of a whole new world. We’ll have these limited editions on canvas at 3 various sizes starting at 12 x 20 inches to 22 x 48 the max. The Sherpa blankets are super high quality and they spark any environment with next level creativity and futuristic energy. We are feeling super proud of this phase of my artistic legacy. I’ll leave a link here: 


Next up is this 4th release of this new collection titled: In the Creator’s light we are all interconnected. This piece is such a playful and enjoyable contemplation of the future. Even there we are all interconnected and living our full potential as a whole. The dream for all of us to be learning how to get along as a human species. Supporting each other in the highest good. Knowing the Creator in all of us and bringing that out in every where we go, who we come in touch with, widening the circle. Making it stronger. In alignment with the spirit.

On this day of national truth and reconciliation it is an honour to expose the reality of Norval Morrisseau being a sexual abuser

 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 πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

In dealing with the corruption within the estate of Norval Morrisseau regarding my case, it’s a lot like dealing with colonizers who tried to hide the crimes of residential schools

 

Pictured here: I’m feeling proud to be Anishanabe, a true 60’s scoop survivor 

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…

I have officially responded to the lies and outright disinformation put forth by the affidavit of Cory “ding dong” Dingle of the corrupt Norval Morrisseau estate

 

Good afternoon to each and everyone and thank you for many of you coming forward in support of my truth and story. I look forward to sharing my evidence and being in the Supreme Court of B.C. I am obviously aware of their attempt to distort the reality of my claim. This is how colonialism works. It’s nothing new to me as I’m a true survivor of Canadian genocide and the attempt of trying to sweep that underneath the carpet as a 60’s scoop survivor. Something I realize that these individuals don’t give a shit about. I have a total of 7 victims including myself who have suffered sexual abuse and I look forward to being able to share these truths when that time is made available. 

I look forward to confronting this reality that I have discovered and to make this information public as the direct result of this case. I believe that both First Nations and Canadians deserve the right to know. Something the estate of Norval Morrisseau is dreading. They are going to attempt to deceive by the misinformation contained in Ding dong Dingles affidavit which I read and responded to through the law firm representing me. They are trying everything in their colonial powers to attempt to silence me. I will not let that happen. I believe in the spirit of truth and reconciliation and it is quite evident that they do not. 

To Cory ding dong dingle: I have to say that what you wrote in your affidavit is simply, pathetic. I burst out laughing to tell you the truth and because I live an honest life it was easy to respond to your bullshit. You’ll find out what I had to say. You shouldn’t even be involved in our indigenous circles or cultural activities. You are an embarrassment to our teachings and our cultural practices. I think you should be fired from that sick and twisted position you were put in. It’s disgusting how you operate. I look forward to exposing you and the rest of the gang around you in court. The fact that you people are trying to erase my story by attempting to get my case dismissed is disgraceful. 

I’m an indigenous man who suffers from a permanent disability who is trying my best to come forward with honesty and integrity and there you are….willing to sell your soul. It’s ugly. It’s gross. But rest assured my confidence is growing day by day. I only ask for the opportunity to tell my story and experience in a colonial court of law. In this day and age, it is the only place where I’ll be able to do that. But you guys are so threatened that you’re trying to deny me this opportunity. That right there is the very definition of colonialism. To attempt to oppress me and my truth. To get rid of the Indian. To get rid of me. That will not happen. I believe in everything that I have stated here about this and I deserve to have my day in court. I will also continue to use my voice and platforms to tell the truth and to document this story moving forward as I have done. None of you have the right to attempt to try and silence me. I am honoured to be in this position to expose this reality for what it is. I believe wholeheartedly that I can prove this pattern of historical sexual abuse by the pedophile and sexual abuser in Norval Morrisseau. 

More to come so stay tuned….Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

My lawsuit is filed and yes I’m suing the estate of Norval Morrisseau for 5 million dollars

 


Good morning to each and everyone and welcome to another fantastic day moving forward. I posted the first article here for you to read and go through it yourself if you haven’t already. I feel super confident and proud of myself. I know exactly where I stand and I know exactly what happened to me. There is absolutely no one on this planet who will be able to cover up the lies. My mission is to come forward and simply tell the truth and to bring light to the other victims I have found including myself. It’s an exciting position to be in after all these years. Nearly 20 years now that I’ve been carrying this horrible weight and discomfort. Finally this reality will have its day in Supreme Court in B.C. where this historic sexual assault took place. 


I want to make a special note here about this lawyer for the estate who is no doubt combing my website and social media. He even liked a comment on my Facebook group yesterday notifying me of his presence which I found kinda sad, really. His name is Jason Gratl and I did a bit of research on him and he appears like someone who deals with a ton of social justice situations and circumstances. He sounds like a decent person actually and not the usual scumbag lawyers that are peppered all over colonial Canada. I had to block him because he will be one of my adversaries now. It is a privilege to be in my social circles and that is something that you’ll never earn now from this point forward. In my view he has chosen the dark side. What a pity really because from my view he has chosen the lie. He has chosen the delusion and unfortunately for him and many others I’ll be exposing that delusion for what it is. 

You see, when you know in your heart and experience what that truth is, it is going to be very very challenging to cover up those lies. That will be his job now. To protect the lie. The moment this guy accepted this case is the very moment he chose to step into that world of deception. I actually feel sorry for him. But this is how colonialism works. It’s all about trying to sweep the truth underneath the carpet. Something the Norval Morrisseau estate is very familiar with. Any how, you’ll never make me afraid. I’ve faced way more in life that you simply no nothing about. To me, you’re now just another agent trying to cover something up. And you can bet your life that I simply will not allow that to happen. I’m here for the full count. For the entire process. I ain’t going away…you will be forced to deal with me regardless. I know more about this story than the estate will ever tell you…Mr. Lawyer. 

I personally welcome you to this arena and to this case. I’m looking forward to facing everything you guys will try to throw at me and I’m excited to stand up and tell this story, my story. Miigwetch and once again there will be much more to come…

Feeling grateful as it’s my birthday today celebrating another revolution around the sun….😎

 

Pictured here: gifted a Roy Thomas piece & this stunning argillite totem pole 

Good afternoon to each and everyone and once again I say chi-Miigwetch for another cycle around the sun being celebrated today. I’m feeling happy and content with everything that I am. I am overjoyed with the beautiful energy being experienced in my lil family each and every day. We love one another so much and feel such deep gratitude for how far we’ve come along. I turn 53 today and another great truth is that I’ve been sober from alcohol and hard drugs for over 27 years now. That right there is no doubt one of the greatest gifts I could ever receive. I thank my Creator for that each and every day. The clarity and focus has been absolutely transformational. I am a proud Anishanabe soul. 

Everything that is going on is on point. I feel much better about taking these new actions in my life and I feel super inspired with this new direction. The spiritual guidance that I receive daily from our Creator is the greatest light I’ve ever known. The gift of being a father and partner has radically changed me in ways I could only know by being present in their lives each and every day. It’s truly the most phenomenal energy I have ever experienced. Breaking old cycles and moving through my past trauma is such a gift. Not always easy but as I continue to grow I know I’m on my own path. Being right here breaking new ground each and everyday. 

Have yourselves a beautiful day today and I’m honoured to be an example of the power, rather than a power of example. For those who know you understand how much sense that makes. Simply trudging the road of happy destiny. One day at a time. Sobriety being the key that makes it all work. I’ll leave you with a nice little note from Dr. Jordan Peterson that explains a lot about me quite precisely….

Miigwetch and stay tuned as there will be much more to come…

I’m feeling calm, cool and collected here @ Jacobson native art with no need to rush….just taking my time with all of this

 

Prompt: Warrior, survivor and master of reality. 2025 (Woodland A.I.) 


Good afternoon to each and everyone. Just a quick update that I’m in a good place with myself. My family feels safe, we are healthy and strong and I’m at a place of simple peace. I feel rested this weekend and enjoyed some good conversation with some media folk but not interested in giving away my case to them either. I must stay focused on the real task at hand which is to go to court and share my entire story and evidence there. That’s where it matters most. I’m sure everyone will be focused on those days where everything that happened and in whom I’ve found will be more carefully shared there. I just think the onus, care of duty, transparency and such should be shouldered by those concerning the estate of Norval Morrisseau. They are the ones guilty of silence and attempting to sweep this underneath the carpet with everyone they deal with. Pretending like this was non existent. 

That is not the case any longer. I’ve done so much in carrying this weight and truth around these discoveries that for the first time in a long long time, I feel at peace. I don’t feel so burdened and stressed out about all this investigative knowledge over the last few years. I feel like a bigger purpose of this truth is now being laid out for me and of course many others. The world feels brighter today. I feel good about standing on this new ground. Something I’ve struggled with for quite sometime. 


Those who have been following this story are most certainly now aware that I’m in real time now. I’m going forward with regard to suing my historic sexual abuser. I’m ready to go down this path and shine the light of truth. I’m just sick and tired of all the fabrications around this so-called great master in Morrisseau. In my view and experience that is simply not true. The world itself ought to be given this opportunity as well. To see it through my eyes, through my experience. That is my goal. To share the truth and to expose this for what it is. A multi generational lie…

Miigwetch and more to come….Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Sharing some excellent news: My statement of claim has been filed today. We are fully ready to go the whole distance….


Prompt: The spirit of integrity and the hunt for justice. 2025

I feel really good about my statement of claim being filed today. Step by step we are getting everything into proper alignment. I am definitely feeling strong and determined. I know it will be a waiting game going through this entire process but I’m ok with that. I’ve been through so much suffering and pain throughout my lifetime that at some stage you just become comfortably numb to most of it. In other words I don’t fear it and I certainly don’t fear anyone associated with that spiritually bankrupt estate of Morrisseau. They’ll have their day in court with me now. We’ll walk through the whole entire process and I’ll get my chance to announce to the world everything that happened and what I have found. The 7 victims I’ve discovered including myself will no doubt see the light of day. It’s about standing up for us. Even though that in itself has been a super challenging process and experience. 

There comes a point when the burden of truth must be revealed and shared. The same old lie must be exposed for what it is and the record must be made straight. Not just for me, but for countless others who by their innocence were betrayed. I understand this. The trust and care  that I should’ve received was paramount. Both Norval and his pimp in Gabe Vadas had total duty to take care of that. They did not. They crossed the line and Norval sexually assaulted me. I believe that shitbag Gabe Vadas had orchestrated the whole thing. When it gets to testifying I’ll be able to go into precise detail. Unlike Vadas and Morrisseau, I have been sober from alcohol and hard drugs for 27 years now. I used to witness Gabe giving drinks to Morrisseau in the van when I used to visit. I also tried to help Gabe after these events when one morning he called me in Vancouver and had asked me to help him when he relapsed on crack cocaine. In AA we have a saying that when anyone anywhere reaches out for the hand of AA, I want my hand to be there. For that I am responsible. 

Imagine that? Believing so much in the miracle of recovery that I even put that bit between my teeth and went and carried the message to him. I even took him through some step work but he never ended up following through. After this he would talk with me randomly but was incoherent most of the time. I’ve always believed that Gabe suffers from dual diagnosis. Both addiction and mental health problems. There were times when he would discredit my experiences with him and Norval and would ramble on that he was like Jesus. That he had the same powers and such. That he too,  like his sexual mentor in Norval Morrisseau was a sex shaman of some sort. Really weird and creepy shit to be honest. Because I believe so much in the power of the 12 steps, I guess I had always hoped that there could’ve been another way to amend these wrongs. But it never happened. I’ve waited for years now and nothing. It’s embarrassing for them really. I’m a pretty reasonable person. But still? Nothing.

So I’ve chosen to take matters into the realms of colonial Canadian law. It’s a huge risk for me because as many of you know, I am a 60’s scoop survivor and I simply don’t have enough trust for the system. I don’t feel comfortable about it but it’s a necessary part of this journey. Working with one of the greatest souls I know in Dallas Thompson has given me plenty of insight. He is a true hero and no doubt stepped up and put himself on the line. He did so in some of the most difficult circumstances I have ever seen. So I can honestly say that in working with him and the 4 other survivors gave me great confidence that I too can walk through these doors. 

Another who has given me incredible insight and daily living experience and knowledge about how children ought to be viewed and protected is my 7 year old son, Sagein Wisdom. Through raising him with love, trust, confidence and understanding, this has given me incredible know how. I mean think about it, if anyone had ever done something like that to him which was done to me, what do you think I would do? 

Exactly. 

I learned that through being his father and by conducting myself with the upmost love and respect for my child that the same rules that apply to him, apply to me. That no one, absolutely fuckin no one has the right to cross the line and sexually touch me when I never asked for that. I never wanted that. It was absolutely repulsive. For the great Norval Morrisseau and his little pigpen pimp in Vadas to cross those lines. Why take such a gamble? Why destroy my true appreciation and respect? Why sabotage me like that? Why destroy my affection in a good and healthy way like that and contaminate my pure and honest intentions? Why fuck me up like that? Why degrade me in such a way? It’s fuckin despicable in every sense of the word. 

My son has no doubt been the driving force of my healing and contemplation. I am so blessed to have this super incredible relationship with my boy. He means everything to me and as I’ve shared many times here continues to be my greatest source of inspiration. The only one who could move mountains in my heart. He’s just that precious. He is the dazzling light of our Creator and to witness that in him each and every day and that this blueprint is how all children should be regarded is eternally life changing. The true magic of life is in our children. If any of you have missed out on your child’s childhood, I empathize with you and your children. There is nothing that can replace those precious years. It changes the children so much when parents fuck the whole thing up. It’s really devastating to the kids, first and foremost. I know because I’m a survivor of that too. 

So onward and upward we go. I’m fully ready to go and I have absolutely zero reservations. I know my truth and story. I lived it right up until this point, here and now. I’m not afraid. I am truth and I’m looking for reconciliation to myself first and foremost. Everything will follow from there. The time for change is upon us. Next? This whole entire legal process.

Miigwetch for now and more to come soon…Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ
