In dealing with this whole Morrisseau fiasco, this is what it looks like from my indigenous point of view…2026

 

Woodland A.I. Title: Future warrior, defender, protector. 2026

Good evening to many of you out there who have continued to stand in truth and solidarity with me over the last few years. It has been an overwhelming undertaking on so many levels. I only ever wanted to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Not easy when you have to face so many liars and bullshitters. Take for example dealing with the estate of Norval Morrisseau and their goof lawyer in Jason Gratl. That was disgusting. Imagine dealing with white settlers in ding dong Dingle and Gratl. 2 white colonizers who were never there when both Gabe Vadas and the old pedophile in Norval Morrisseau sexually abused me in 2006. Think about how gross that is? They weren’t even there and didn’t see it. Yet after I had chosen to settle with them because they offered it, I thought because I was down to $1200 bucks, that it was the right thing to do because I had to make a choice, feed the shitty lawyer I had or feed my 8 year old son who suffers with a disability. Dingle tries to paint himself as someone who is defending the legacy of Norval Morrisseau, when in reality he’s only defending his financial investments in Morrisseau paintings. He absolutely disgusts me. Same with that lawyer, being berated by him for 8 hours while my so-called lawyer told me he was going to mute much of that cross examination because he was doing other lawyer work when this interview was happening. He only stepped in a couple times but when I called Gratl a fucking bullshitting colonizer, he actually stepped in to defend Gratl. Imagine that? 

Then he tells me that I spoke too long and that I should’ve shut up and not got into these long conversations. Maybe he should have advised me better like telling me right from the beginning of hiring him that he had already had a relationship with the estate, but he never mentioned a thing to me about it. That right there was a conflict of interest and I was never told of this. That was a case for dismissal right then and there. The trust factor was already destroyed before I even got started. That was a major red flag for me regarding the legal process of trying to tell my story. The trust. It’s really hard for me as a First Nations person trying to put trust into this very system that has had an agenda of trying to wipe me off the face of the earth. Colonization does a lot of harm that white privilege doesn’t even see. So there’s that. 

I have several emails of trying to educate people like Elon musk, Nasa and Samuel peralta of the lunar codex program when they sent the art of the pedophile sex abuser to the moon. I did what I could as someone with a permanent disability who’s been in recovery for the last 28 years of my life, sober. I tried but in reality, they simply didn’t want to hear the truth. That is the power of colonialism. The denial, the treating of me like I was a nobody. That I didn’t matter because the sex abuser in Morrisseau was of more fame and importance. Because white people said so. That is how I perceived that. It felt super discouraging and disgusting to tell you the truth. Sometimes I wish that I should’ve just kept my mouth shut about it all. Let the trust of the Canadian public continue to be deceived. I mean, who’s gonna care now right? Nobody.

When I started becoming public about all this in 2023, it was difficult because I sensed that I would have to be defending myself, my truth and my story. It’s not easy speaking up against a tidal wave of deceptions. I’m trying to heal from the pain and suffering of being a 60’s scoop survivor but when the Morrisseau estate did a truth and reconciliation art show with the united church of Canada? That’s when I truly knew that I had to keep on fighting for this truth to be heard. Imagine that? Ding dong dingle who knows absolutely nothing about those personal experiences is taking remnants of my culture and lying to the church about Morrisseau and his sex crimes because he thinks it’s about truth and reconciliation lying to the church. Who as you know, we’re guilty in the rapes and murders of tens of thousands of little indigenous children being stripped of their indigenous cultures and their very lives. That is not an easy thing to face and swallow. It’s absolutely disgusting. It still grosses me out about sending the pedophile to the moon. People like Cory dingle, Samuel peralta and the estate need to be held accountable. Fuck, I can’t do it all. It’s just too overwhelming for one person trying to educate the art world about all of this. I really need help and support. It’s just such a heavy burden to carry and here’s the kicker? These are not my crimes. I didn’t do anything wrong. I am only being straight up and honest yet the weight is unbearable most days.

It has affected me in so many ways. It’s a fuckin miracle that I haven’t picked up a drink. I feel depressed and burdened most days. I struggle with consistency in creating my art. I mean, I had to invent a whole new artistic genre in woodland a.i. just to step away from the confines of the woodland art form itself. Does anybody realize how hard that is to do in the 21st century? It’s not easy but I did. It has helped me to heal but I still have to go the entire distance. The trust of the First Nations and Canadian public deserves to learn and know the truth. I have a right to function in it as safe as possible (my culture) and right now, that is simply not the case. The greed of white settler colonialism is trying everything in its power to not only discredit me, but to destroy my well-being and safety as an indigenous artist. This art form has done a lot of good for me and countless other artists as well. But hiding this history of Norval Morrisseau is wrong. Think about it, there are 2 schools named after this piece of shit. I wonder how the parents of all those children would feel knowing that the school their children go to is named after a child sex abuser?

The layers and layers of this deception must stop. It’s too difficult for just one man and his 8 year old son to educate the masses. I need Justice. I need the truth to be told and Canada has made promises around truth and reconciliation but where is ours? Why do I have to bare the sins of this pedophile sex abuser? Why do I have to be the one to do it all? It’s just not fair to me or my son who knows that what I am doing is the right path moving forward. He knows it’s not good for someone of power and influence to do what he did. I think of all these other artists who have believed in the lies. That he was a cultural hero and an icon. It’s not true. It was all fabricated for the glory of settlers to make money off the dead pedophile. That is the reality that I am dealing with. The loss of former friends in John zemanovich, Jonathan Sommer, and Kevin Hearn they all abandoned me. Ever since I came out about Morrisseau being a piece of shit like Gary Lamont? Not a word from them. No support, no asking if I’m ok, nothing. They all turned their back on me in favour of the dead pedophile and his sex abuse legacy. Imagine that? That is cold and absolutely fuckin heartless. They have chosen to say nothing, do nothing and walk away leaving me stranded. That’s not truth and reconciliation. That’s complicit. 

I have reached out to this judge in Laura bird because quite frankly it is my last hope. I prayed to the Creator before I sent her that email 3 months ago because the Creator gave me the green light through an answered prayer. I believe I did the right thing and I will continue to do the right thing. I have so much data around this case and all the players in it that when I do my documentary around all of this? It’s going to be a very unsettling story. It will make There are no fakes look like a walk in the park. That’s how challenging and difficult this whole thing has been. And after all of this? Somewhere within me I still have hope. Hope for the truth to be heard and digested by those who can help me. I have hope for real truth and reconciliation to happen. I still have hope for humanity but it must start with this story being told in the courts, in the system, across Canada and beyond. Living a lie of this magnitude is super destructive. It is deceptive on so many levels and both First Nations and Canadians deserve to live in the truth. 

I’m really tired and I’m feeling very alone in much of this. It’s a curse, carrying this weight for all these years. I never did anything wrong, I only wanted to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…we’ll see what the universe unfolds over the next while. I sure hope there are those out there who hear my story and truly want to help. At the end of the day, it’s the right thing to do.

Sincerely,

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

 

Pictured here: Canadian colonial lawyer, Nathan Gorham 

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.

This is the email I sent to justice Laura Bird of Ontario superior court:


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



This is part 2 of the affidavit sent:


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.
