A spiritual message from the studio here @ Jacobson native art (Confirmation of my Indian status and 60’s scoop)

 

Artist: Beau Dick. Title of mask: Dzunukwa - four way transformation 

It is true what many have said throughout history that you cannot have one without the other. This is the very nature of spirituality and indeed the experiences of life itself. Both the light and the shadow have their teachings and for many of us these experiences can be both exciting and difficult, even tragic. Self can get in the way as we so often see through a multitude of processes within the mind, body, heart and soul. It isn’t easy going through life without a spiritual connection. My experience has been that the very nature of our Creator can be challenging to navigate. The will wants what it wants and most of the time causes us much pain and suffering. We tend to forget that while going through our difficulties that there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

Change is not always a welcomed process. But it does bring with it a better awareness and understanding of who we are and the world around us. I learned a long time ago that it is wise to get comfortable with pain and suffering. It comes in waves and at other times it vanishes into thin air allowing us to fulfill our greatest wishes, dreams and desires. Life is exactly that and I am grateful that I don’t fear the darkness. I have found much truth and light by walking through these experiences and coming through to the other side. 

For the record here is confirmation of my “Indian status and being a 60’s scoop”

The road of life for me has been a very difficult and challenging one and I’ve had to walk through so much pain and suffering that in the greater reality of things, most don’t ever make it. I’m 51 years old and I’ve been sober from alcohol and hard drug abuse for over 26 years now. I don’t take any prescription medications and have been freed from that for over 31 years. I feel like my life is a true living miracle. I’ve been focused on my healing and recovery for a really long time. I’ve spent thousands of hours being of service to those who suffer. I still to this very day carry my message of experience, strength and hope. I’ve seen many of my friends who struggled with these experiences end up dead. Their families devastated. The disease of addiction and alcoholism is no respecter of persons. It doesn’t care how educated you are, it doesn’t care what you know, what you’ve been through or how intelligent one may be.  I take life one day at a time. That’s all I can give, that’s all I can do and I’m totally ok with that. 

Today life for me is a beautiful blessing. All of it. The light, the dark, the ups and the downs and everything in between.  I don’t always know what the next moves will be and I still make a few mistakes but I always correct them. Sometimes people who come into my life are not the right fit. They get themselves in the way with their own bullshit, usually. I can also be quite ruthless as well and have a bit of an edge that keeps me on guard and ready for whatever comes next. I’ll never take shit from anyone. If you fuck around? You’ll find out. That’s life. It ain’t always fair but I try to do my best each and every day. 

The quality of life is radically different than where I came from. I live an honest life and I apply these principles to all areas of my knowledge and experiences. I don’t lie and I don’t try to manipulate anyone who crosses my path. What you see is what you get and if it works out regarding new friendships and relationships? I’m as loyal as they come. I’m not interested in people pleasing but I’ll walk with just about anyone who needs guidance, direction and support. It’s the way Creator teaches me. To be true to myself and my values. To be authentic and genuine. Regardless of how others may view me I don’t really care much for opinions and falsehoods. If your in my circle and your still here? Then you’ve made it. You too are the genuine article. With that I just wanted to share these thoughts and experiences and to help clarify any doubts about what others may say or not even know about me. I wish many of you all the best as we continue to trudge the road of a happy destiny. All my relations and more to come so stay tuned...

In the real spirit of truth and reconciliation: Norval Morrisseau was, is and will always be a sexual abuser of children

 

Today is national truth and reconciliation day. It’s something I don’t celebrate and actually don’t have a lot of faith in. The depth of indoctrination and denial is so bad that most First Nations and Canadians are beyond repair because of the multi generational ongoing acts of genocide,  trauma and lies caused by colonialism. It’s absolutely fuckin gross. Multi layered and so bent that there is very little hope of anyone actually turning this thing around. The colonizer has raped, murdered and destroyed generations of indigenous people. For what? For what we have. They’ve built their dreams, lives and goals all on the dead bodies of our children. Piling up their new found wealth on stolen Indian land. Buying their homes, properties and businesses through fake titles sold to them all by criminal Canada, the crown and the banks. All of it are actually active and ongoing crime scenes. Again, it’s fuckin gross. 

Same thing can be said of that fake bullshit white colonized world of their sexual predator and filthy sex shaman in Norval Morrisseau. A national disgrace. Sexually abusing his own son, little boys who were 8 years old. Young teens and young men. White man in complete denial. Can’t accept it. Can’t come to terms with it because of the money and truly that’s the only reason why. Scum bags like Gabe Vadas should pack his fuckin bags and go back home to Hungary. People like you are not wanted here. You types are part of the ongoing problem in Indian country. You are not welcome here on our lands, on my land. Same can be said of that idiot ceo in ding dong Dingle. You are a fuckin disgrace white boy. You look so fuckin stupid pimping out your sexual abusers in Nob, Norb Norval Morrisseau and that predator and enabler in Gabe Vadas trying to save face by living your pathetic white life in complete denial of the truth. 

It’s embarrassing to say the least. Same goes for all you idiot fucks in academia, the government, your institutions, your schools, the media, your meaningless positions in society, lawyers, cops, judges, politicians, your religion. All of it a big gigantic shit stain on the cultural fabric of this whore of a fake country and fake identity as so-called Canadians. Even the majority of Indians who have been baptized by their abuser in colonial Canada. Sold out chiefs, twisted so-called elders, wanna be gangster Indians who try to be black. The whole thing is beyond hope. It’s fucked. Permanently. 

This is why we’ll need a whole new approach. This one we all currently live in is fucked. It’s broken. It’s destroyed. It’s an unworkable system designed by historic white colonial idiots who thought their way was the right way. Finding your way through this isn’t easy. I’ll be the first one to tell you that. The scam is so large, it’s so big that it’s simply too late to save this old beast. She’s dying. Slowly but it’s dying. My hope is in the long away future of an unknown and undreamt reality. My only real hope is there. I get glimpses of this future in my son, in the children who are being taught the real truth of colonialism. Somewhere in their hearts are the seeds. The insanity of all of this is a horrible reality to bare. My sanity is in being alone in the pure spirit of Mother Earth. Only there do I find my healing, my wellness, my true connection. 

Any how I must continue on in this fuckin madness of humanity. The more I learn the more I see. Some good, but most of it ugly truths. It is my super power I would suppose. Seeing it as it truly is. Eyes wide open...

No question about it though, when it comes to this truth and reconciliation we are most definitely still, in a period of discovering the truth phase. All my relations I suppose...MAJ

Here is an updated list of all those I exposed as a criminal, a fraud, a cheat and liars around the woodland school of art

 

Photo sourced from an indigenous gathering and ceremony last week. 

Good afternoon and once again a sincere thank you for all the kindness and support from those who have aligned themselves with the truth concerning this art fraud in our woodland school of art. It’s been one of the craziest and most warped experiences of my entire life. An undertaking that would break just about anyone on the planet. The depth of deceptions and lies these crooked bastards would go through is truly unprecedented in art fraud history. 

These names and the galleries who played a role in this fiasco is massive. This will be a permanent record of their deceit. We will not forget. This is truth and reconciliation and these individuals should and will be held accountable. Let’s get started with this “black listed” group of deceivers: 

Norval Morrisseau - Sexual abuser of innocent children and young boys. Lied to an entire nation through multiple generations regarding his sick sex crimes. Forever disgraced as a pedophile. 

Gary Lamont - Arrested, charged and convicted as a serial sexual rapist. Recently charged with more sex crimes and formally charged in the Morrisseau art fraud. He is officially completely destroyed...

Morrisseau estate - All of Morrisseau’s children exposed as being involved in the fraud of their “sexual predator“ fathers legacy including brother Wolf and nephews Benjamin and Bruce Morrisseau. 

Christian Morrisseau - Recently deceased but forever marked as the major player from the estate of Norval Morrisseau who was heavily involved in producing, marketing and distribution of hundreds and hundreds of fakes. A legacy of crime, fraud and multi generational deceptions. Disgusting. 

Gabe and Michelle Vadas - Both of them guilty of lying to the art buying public for hiding their involvement in creating, working on and finishing hundreds of socalled Morrisseau originals. Defrauding hundreds of collectors and institutions worldwide. A disgrace beyond imagination. Gabe Vadas serving Morrisseau as his sexual pimp acquiring homeless boys off the streets of Vancouver. Utterly disgraceful individuals. Perverting the authenticity in our woodland school of art.

Kinsmen Robinson gallery - Shut down permanently for a year now. Forever disgraced for selling fakes to the Canadian art buying public. Mostly the Phil Cote fakes and the black drybrush garbage. Guilty of manipulating hundreds of collectors as they were the primary dealer of the Vadas sourced socalled Morrisseau’s. 

Maslak McLeod gallery - Shut down permanently a decade ago. Guilty of selling the black drybrush fakes along with the Phil Cote sourced fakes throughout the 1990’s. A national disgrace.

Art world of Sherway - Run by Donna Child who sold dozens of fake Morrisseau art being backed by Wolf Morrisseau and the now deceased Christian Morrisseau. It’s a national disgrace. Permanently shut down. 

Art cube gallery - Was run by disgraced dealer Sunny Kim. Sold various waves of Morrisseau fakes. Permanently shut down.

Bearclaw gallery - Sold fake Morrisseau art (the black drybrush fakes) sourced through Gary Lamont

Bremner & Bremner - Recently, director of gallery Paul was arrested and charged for selling fakes and creating false provenance. 

Eagle spirit gallery in Vancouver - Rob Scott knowingly selling the fake Morrisseau (black drybrush garbage) 

Qualicum artworks gallery - Ran by disgraced former owner and fake Morrisseau art dealer in Marlowe Goring Its been permanently shut down.

David Voss - Recently arrested and charged as one of the architects of the fraud from Thunder Bay ont.

Jeff Cowan - Recently arrested and charged for being involved in the art fraud 

Jim White - Again recently arrested and charged for being a major player in the art fraud. His business called White distribution is heavily involved. On many levels including copyright fraud.

Randy Potter - forever disgraced fake Morrisseau art dealer who ran one of the biggest scams in art fraud history called: Potter auctions. It’s been permanently shut down and exposed. Randy Potter? Dead.

Ugo Matulic - Disgraced Fake Morrisseau art dealer and proponent. Had a blog called norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com which has been permanently removed and destroyed along with his credibility. Good riddance. 

Joe Otavnik - Forever disgraced fake Morrisseau art collector. A fuckin nobody in the art world.

John and Joan Goldi - Forever disgraced fake Morrisseau art collectors. Ran a website called Morrisseau hoax exposed. It’s been permanently shut down and destroyed along with their credibility. Done. 

Michael Moniz - Forever disgraced fake Morrisseau art collector. Died over a decade ago. Done.

John Zemanovich and wife - sold me out and lied to me about gallery representation with Raven art gallery. Betrayed me and chose to sell paintings I gifted them because they were too impatient to work out financial situations between us. John was a former apprentice who is now working with a lawyer named Jonathan Sommer under the guise “Morrisseau art consulting”. It’s fuckin gross really. 

Ritchie stardreamer Sinclair - a white cultural appropriator who lives in denial of the real truth concerning his delusional obsession with our woodland school and the reality of Morrisseau being a sexual predator on children. It’s disgusting how phoney this guy actually is. Gross.

Cory ding dong Dingle - newly hired bitch monkey of the Norval Morrisseau estate. A liar and cheat. Someone I once trusted who ended up being a complete scum bag bullshitter. Fuckin weak and cowardly and one who believes in homogenizing. Pure white settler mentality. 

James McCue - a white cultural appropriator who painted backgrounds for Morrisseau but now thinks it’s simply ok to insult our artform with his shady philosophy and homogenizing. White settler thinking, really.

Rod and Vic waters - These 2 are a husband and wife duo who are perhaps the sickest and worst racists I’ve ever had the unfortunate experience of running into. Absolutely disgusting people who grossed me out beyond belief. It’s hard to realize that there are truly sick people who live this way on our stolen Indian land. Ugly and gross personalities who should be arrested and charged with racism crimes.

Janet Spicer - a dysfunctional stolen land occupier who betrayed my family and lied to us. A colonizer who has no idea about the genocide of my people. A denier of truth. Disgusting. 

Lysse Paqette - a compulsive liar who deceived my family and chose to spread misinformation on me and got caught. A highly unstable personality who knows absolutely nothing about truth and reconciliation. 

Kurtis Staven - a complete piece of shit who stole my former website and intellectual property. A pretendian who came into my life as a chronic liar, manipulator and outright bullshitter. A toothless rat who deserves what’s coming to him. What a fuckin joke of a human being. 

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation let these accounts of my experience and investigations stand the test of time. Not one of these corrupt bastards could ever bring themselves to apologize for their behaviours and actions. It is perhaps the darkest chapters over the last 2 decades of my life. All of these people are individuals in whom I deeply regret ever meeting. They simply couldn’t be honest either with me or themselves. They are the spiritually bankrupt. The broken souls of society. The fuckin snakes in the grass. They hide amongst the people pretending to have your best interests only to be exposed for the rotten pieces of shit they are who hide in the shadows as opportunists. Thinking only of themselves and their hidden agendas. Manipulating those in whom they come into contact with. Be warned and be careful. Not everybody you meet, has your back.

More to come...all my relations, MAJ

Why the Norval Morrisseau estate is a complete failure

Pictured here: Fake Morrisseau painted by Phil Cote for Maslak McLeod (early 1990’s)

Good afternoon to each and everyone following the truth here @ Jacobson native art. This article will go into the very reasons why the estate of Norval Morrisseau is a complete scam and why they are guilty of gross negligence throughout Morrisseau’s legacy and the woodland school of art. They can never be trusted. They are liars and live on the backs of those of us who did the real work. They did fuck all. 

This is a painting done by a great artist in Steven snake. Unfortunately the subject matter of this painting is of Norval Morrisseau painting a Phil Cote fake sourced from a Maslak McLeod catalogue. It’s disgusting and what’s even worse is that the estate of Norval Morrisseau does absolutely nothing to correct these issues. They sit back and say nothing, do nothing and hide underneath a rock. It’s so weak and embarrassing. Their only focus is the money. This is why the estate is not the representation of our woodland school. That reality now sits with us living artists who are indigenous and have the right to paint these stories and teachings. White settlers who hide behind Morrisseau are not capable of speaking up in this regard. This art form belongs with us, the great Anishanabe. 

Pictured here: A Steven Snake painting of Norval Morrisseau with a fake black drybrush thunderbird image 

This is how warped and distorted this whole art fraud of Morrisseau’s legacy has become. It’s so multi layered and in need of being cleaned up but those dipshits like Gabe Vadas and Ding dong Dingle do absolutely nothing. These weak and shallow individuals continue to ride the coat tails of those of us who did the hard work of confronting these issues on behalf of Morrisseau but now more importantly for the authenticity of our woodland school of art. The estate is an embarrassment to us. It is broken and will probably never have the same feel ever again. It’s over for them. 

This is why they have no power in my world. They are an embarrassment to the industry, the woodland art movement and will be exposed for their inability to function properly. You see when you boil off all the shit around the estate you see who they are and what they’ve become. Naked and soulless, empty of any real meaning. This is the true estate of Norval Morrisseau. A legacy built on lies, deceptions and absolute gross negligence. The next reality coming for them is how do you continue to hide the sexual abuse of innocent little children? Huh? What? Really? Exactly. You won’t be able to. This is what is coming next for them. The hunger for money will cease and you will be confronted with this on a much larger scale then you can imagine. It’s absolutely disgusting what these people have done including that grand shaman shyster bullshit in Norval Morrisseau himself. Guilty of historic sex crimes. The biggest let down of my entire life. The art and life of sexual abuser Norval Morrisseau....

More to come. All my relations, MAJ 

Canadian art galleries and dealers who are “permanently black listed” @ Jacobson native art

Wishing all my friends and collectors and those of you who are new in discovering my art, a beautiful morning. I have been reflecting on my various experiences in the Canadian art world the last couple of days and I feel like it’s time to set the record straight on my dealings with many of these Canadian/colonial institutions. 

The levels of Colonialism, discrimination, racism, prejudice, class distinction, lies and deceptions and out right fraud is absolutely fuckin unbelievable. I’ve been in this business for over 35 years now. I’ve seen it all across these stolen lands. It’s despicable how many of these operations treat us First Nations. The greed, ego and outright selfishness is some of the ugliest shit I’ve seen from many of these galleries I’m going to list. 

This list is to educate my buyers and collectors on the pitfalls of dealing with these very galleries who in one form or another as labelled, have qualified to be permanently blacklisted. These are my honest and accurate accounts and experiences. Let’s get into the details:

#1: National gallery of Canada - Colonial institution founded on racism and genocide (I simply don’t give a shit about the national gallery)

#2: Kinsmen Robinson gallery - Scumbag pathetic liars who sold fake Morrisseau’s (Paul Robinson is a complete douche bag)

#3: Bearclaw gallery - sold fake Morrisseau’s, liars and cheating scumbags

#4: Eagle spirit gallery - Owner Rob Scott is a 2 bit hustler scumbag (sells fake Morrisseau’s)

#5: Donnachild fine art - sold fake Morrisseau’s, lied to many unsuspecting buyers, art fraud 

#6: Koyman galleries - sell fake Morrisseau’s (deceiving art buying public)

#7: Raven art Canada - Betrayed and sold out by owner John Zemanovich and wife

#8: Friends united - One 0f the worst experiences Ive ever had selling art to a client

#9: Norval Morrisseau estate - gross negligence, untrustworthy, very cold unstable energy

#10: Red kettle collectables - selling various waves of Norval Morrisseau fakes

#11: Black sheep gallery - sell fake Morrisseau’s with some real Morrisseau’s 

#12: Brights gallery - owner peter was warned about his fake Morrisseau’s, he continues to sell them right up to this very day

#13: Jim White distribution - one of the biggest distributors of fake Morrisseau’s, fake prints of fakes, major copyright Infringement, out right art fraud

#14: Bremner & Bremner fine art - currently sell fake Morrisseau’s 

#15: Ugo Matulic - fake Morrisseau art collector and dealer, a lying scumbag, a total piece of shit

#16: Several Canadian Museums and institutions - currently in possession of stolen property and cultural artifacts. Colonial framework still operational in this, the 21st century. It’s absolutely disturbing. Please do the right thing and give back our cultural property and wealth, thank you. 

So, there you have it at this point. Clearly I have had my issues with these various false entities who pretend that they represent the truth. Clearly, they do not. It takes a serious grievance and a series of let downs that are marked in deceptions, lies, selfishness and wronging me with disrespect that will finally break the camels back. Those who truly know me know that I have a very big heart. I’m willing to go to bat for many many different types of people out there. But if you fuck around? Guess what? You’ll find out...you won’t be around me, no more. My inner circle is vitally important to me. Sometimes thats what it takes to take care of yourself and your environment.
