Great news: The estate of Norval Morrisseau and it’s white colonizer poster boy in Cory ‘Ding dong’ Dingle are being sued for 1.45 million…

 

Good afternoon to each and everyone and here’s some fantastic news coming forward about the alleged criminal activity and business practice of the now defunct and self destructive behaviours of the Norval Morrisseau estate and their poster boy in white colonizer Cory “ding dong” Dingle. Give it a read as I have and this is going to be fascinating in the coming weeks and months ahead. I’m happy to see that the spirit of the truth is opening up doors that many of us haven’t been through. I’ve always stated that whatever is done in darkness will come to light. It appears that the truth isn’t done with this work of exposing the reality behind the scenes. I may have to rethink my situation. I’m not alone is wanting the truth. There are others willing to speak up and confront the deceptions. Here’s the article by CBC:

Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. has been outspoken against the profuse fraud of the late artist's work. Now, it faces a $1.45 million lawsuit claiming it defamed an art gallery by implying its works could be fakes. 

Cory Dingle has spoken out against art fraud to multiple media outlets, including CBC, as Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd.'s executive director. He's now being sued alongside Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. for defamation and breach of contract by a Calgary art gallery, a lawsuit filed in Alberta's Superior Trial Court on March 11 claims. 

EA Studios claims that Dingle's statements to potential buyers implied the gallery "is, generally, an unethical organization of low moral character that sells inferior and possibly fake artworks that were obtained through an abusive, and possibly criminal, exploitation of a vulnerable Indigenous artist," according to the claim. 

None of the claims have been proven or tested in court.

"The Estate looks forward to defending itself against these allegations and due to the ongoing litigation we do not have any further comments at this time," said Dingle in an email to CBC. 

Art gallery claims breach of contract, defamation

As a prolific artist who did not keep records of his works, Morrisseau's catalogue has become a popular target for fraud and forgeries. 

The lawsuit claims EA Studios (Jasper) Ltd. gallery had an agreement with Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd., represented by Dingle. 

Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. would reassure potential customers that the painting they wanted to buy was an authentic Morrisseau, and Dingle would get 10 per cent of any successful sale to clients he referred to the gallery, according to the statement of claim. 

The lawsuit claims Dingle did the exact opposite. Instead, it claims Dingle implied EA Studios' Morrisseau paintings may be  fakes, and suggested they purchase authentic works directly from himself and/or Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd.

"Specifically, Dingle and/or the alleged estate failed to reassure the plaintiff's potential clients of the value and authenticity of the plaintiff's works, and instead falsely disparaged the plaintiff and then tried to, or did, convince said potential clients to purchase works from Dingle and/or the alleged estate," says the claim. 

The documents claim the gallery hired two private investigators in October 2024 to pose as potential buyers interested in paintings in its inventory after becoming suspicious that Dingle was not holding up his end of the deal. EA Studios claims the private investigators had two calls with Dingle, during which he made defamatory statements that undermined the gallery's credibility and reputation.

EA Studios claims  it has owned and sold Morrisseau's work since the 1980s. The gallery's founder had "a long-standing friendship and positive business relationship" with the late artist, the court documents say.  

It argues that Dingle's and/or Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd.'s statements to potential buyers implied the gallery "is considered, by Norval's children, to be a scammer," and "committed a criminal act by stealing and selling Norval's personal belongings".  

The gallery claims the "defamatory statements" are false, undermined its reputation and cost it clients. It claims Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. made additional defamatory statements in a social media post that it is the only seller of authorized, legal prints of Morrisseau's work. 

Lawsuit claims Morrisseau's children supported authenticity of fraudulent works

The lawsuit claims during the last years of his life, Morrisseau fought to keep fraudulent copies of his work from spreading in the market. It also claims that shareholders of Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. did little to stop the fraud. 

"From at least the early 2000s on, for financial gain, the adult children supported and promoted the authenticity of many of the fraudulent works and assisted, by spreading false information, in undermining efforts to expose and stop the fraud," reads the claim filed against Norval Morrisseau Estate Ltd. and Cory Dingle. 

Morrisseau's biological children sued his estate in 2010 after being excluded from his will, according to the claim. 

The artist from Ojibway Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek First Nation in northwestern Ontario died in 2007. He bequeathed all of his material and artistic assets to friend Gabor Vadas. The parties settled out of court, and Vadas's and Morrisseau's children divided the estate, said the court documents. 

The claim against Norval Morrisseau Ltd. and Cory Dingle was filed March 11, 2025. The defendants had not yet filed a statement of defence at publication time. Indeed there will be much more to come and all my relations for now…

Warning to the entire woodland school of art and all lovers of indigenous art - watch out for this guy Cory “ding dong” Dingle he is a disaster to our culture, our art our true stories and teachings

 

Good evening and it’s nice to come back and make some time for  a new article as I’ve been quite busy the last few days. Any how Im happy to now make some room for  this absolute fuck nut in whom I deeply regret ever meeting in Cory DING DONG Dingle. A disgrace to our woodland school of art who lied to me on several occasions and also in whom I told directly that Norval Morrisseau was, is and will always be, a sexual abuser of children, young men. Many victims/survivors that I was able to talk with who shared their truth and story with me including myself as well. 

I told him these things over 2 years ago and he’s done absolutely nothing to deal with this truth. He is no doubt a white colonizer who has absolutely no respect for sexual assault victims, our trauma and experiences. He is literally a total piece of shit of a human being. I’ll never trust him and it’s a complete disgrace that he is even weirdly involved in being the ceo of the permanently disgraced Norval Morrisseau estate, the historic sexual abuser. 

I have shared publicly many times about the reality of these truths that I discovered about the dead pedophile artist. I sent emails, messages etc in trying to help educate people around this and there is no doubt he is aware of that. Still? Nothing. He goes on pretending like that didn’t happen and does absolutely nothing to educate people about this reality. There is no doubt he has his reasons and I know for a fact that during the fraud, he amassed a nice little collection for himself. He certainly has a major invested financial interest. He is one of the creepiest people in this business. A shadow. A false reflection.

 Here’s a new and updated list of those who came forward and shared their stories and personal testimonies with me which helped me to come forward as well. It is gross negligence to ignore these honest accounts in whom Morrisseau truly was. There are many institutions, consulting firms, those in academia who are part of the problem. These colonial entities are either in denial, unwilling to believe it or simply don’t know. Either way it’s disgraceful to continue ignoring this reality and the time for changing this narrative is upon us. Propping up sexual abusers of children, young boys and men is wrong. What many including Ding dong Dingle continue to do is not the spirit of truth and reconciliation. It’s an utter abomination of my culture and a total disrespect to these historic sexual abuse survivors. It’s so ugly and hurtful. 

This list is an accurate account of what I was precisely told by these witnesses and experiencers. None of them have any other motive than to tell the truth. This is the honest reality of what I found and in what also propelled me to come forward. My only aim was to always tell the truth and here’s what I found:

David  Morrisseau - recieved an out of court settlement for sexual abuse claims. Was settled by Norval and Gabe Vadas in early 1990’s. David himself told several people about this sexual abuse from his father.  I have 3 witnesses who told me David had confessed the abuse to them as well. Sadly David passed away in august of 2024. Those 3 are elder Shelley Charles, Dr. Golden and Tom Tom Sinclair. 

Brian Marion - Story of this account is heartbreaking. A fellow artist in Michael cywink told me exclusively how back in the late 70’s he was in the same apartment with Norval and Brian. They were in another room when he heard Brian yelling out: no Norval, no, please no…while being raped by Norval in the other room. Michael said he froze, he didn’t know what to do and left in a panicked state. 

Tom Tom Sinclair - told me in conversations (written as well) that he was sexually abused at 8 years old by Norval Morrisseau. He also mentioned in writing that there were 4 other victims from Thunder Bay who were around the same age as him that were sexually abused by Norval Morrisseau. Those victims now deceased. 

That makes for 7 victims right there including my story. And what? That doesn’t matter? The money is more important? The false legacy of grand shaman and cultural icon is all that matters? This whole thing makes you look awful Dingle. You truly are a white windigo. Everything you touch is tainted. Sending the pedophile to the moon. Yippe fuck head. Thanks for contaminating the moon, asswipe. How about the united church of Canada fiasco? Tying the pedophile artist to that. Hiding the sex crimes of your chum behind the cross of Jesus. Lovely work guy. I wonder what they’ll have to say about all of that? You making moves under the umbrella of truth and reconciliation with that? Fucking disgusting. You truly gross me out. You are an insult to my culture white boy. You do it all ass backwards. You’re doing it wrong. It’s a disgrace how you choose to operate. You even mentioned how Buffy saint Marie shines like 16 suns or some weird ass shit like that. Saying how the estate fully supports the now discovered fraud of Buffy. Your characteristics are a lot like hers. It’s bizarre watching you roll the dice like that. 

Rolling with suspected forger in Phil Cote. During that whole disgraceful show and event you put on with united church of Canada. All of that while many of us indigenous peoples are still trying to heal from many of the abuses these churches are guilty of. During a period while many residential schools are still being searched and  finding  the dead bodies of thousands of children. You do not get it. You do not have the right mind and sensitivity regarding my culture. You are abusive. You represent a false light and a false narrative. You are a disgraceful individual. You are not capable of doing things in the right way. Our way. You seek the glory, the show and shine. Your approach is 100% colonial. 

You are a disgrace to my culture and I wish for you to be exposed for who you really are. You misrepresent the truth, regardless of how ugly it is. And for that, you lack true humility and understanding when dealing with indigenous issues and concerns. It’s an abomination. Total gross negligence. 

In the meantime here’s my video of lighting my entire Morrisseau collection on fire. It serves as a very proud moment in my life by standing up to the lies and deceptions of those around the art, life and legacy of Norval Morrisseau who through me, got exposed for the total piece of shit he’ll always be. A  gay sex junkie who became an exposed child sexual abuser. A real and true scum bag. A total piece of shit…

THE VIDEO: 

In the meantime there’ll be more to come. I am honoured that I can be a gate keeper of truth for my people the great Anishanabe and for the entire school of the woodland art. I have a duty to tell the truth. To stand up and tell it as it is. It is a privilege….all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Exposing the crooked decision making by “Ding dong Dingle” of that spiritually bankrupt Norval Morrisseau estate...just gross.

 

Indeed it is true what they say that you cannot make a crooked bird fly straight. The hard truth and reality is just that. I’ve been watching this whole scene unfold for well over 20 years of investigation and expert research. I’ve unfortunately met them all around the legacy except for most of Morrisseau’s children, thank goodness. I have met David Morrisseau years ago who was sexually abused by his own father. Go ask David, apparently he tells just about everybody he meets. It’s common knowledge in the art circles around Toronto and lots of Indians know this. As a father myself it absolutely disgusts me that a fake legend like diddler Norval has done this to his own child, his own son. There are other victims and witnesses who have come forward since including myself. It’s the main reason why I suspect David has always been an outcast from his family. Why he was so heavily involved in the art fraud of his “Pedophile” fathers legacy. The exact same can be said of all of Norvals children. They all backed the black drybrush fakes that were spearheaded by convicted of art fraud and serial rapist in Gary Lamont from Thunder Bay Ont, an old dear friend of Norvals. This is the reality. 

The truth is that there really is no one who is even willing or who can keep these crooked birds accountable. I am that individual and I hold this light with integrity because quite frankly I believe it is absolutely wrong to prop up sexual abusers of children as cultural icons. There are many who I know feel the very same way. It is difficult for many to realize this because they’ve been lied to by so many broken souls around the legacy of Norval Morrisseau. Hiding these stories from the general public. Those in academia and in hundreds of Canadian institutions being either in denial or simply haven’t done their research regarding these dark chapters in our history. We are in a period of truth and reconciliation, not hide and seek or denial. Here’s another example of many regarding this sick and twisted legacy of the pedophile Morrisseau:

Pictured here is a screen shot from the Norval Morrisseau estate Facebook page. The insanity of this feature post that they’ve released involves none other than Phil Cote, a suspected forger of Morrisseau’s art in the 1990’s and 2000’s through Maslak Mcleod gallery now permanently shut down out of Yorkville area in Toronto. They are making crooked decisions like this, including backing the cultural appropriation and deceptions of Buffy Saint Marie, (saying statements that ol Buffy shines like 16 suns...lol) saying as well that Christian Morrisseau was a genius when really Christian was also heavily involved in the forgery of his sexually abusing fathers art works and legacy. There are so many examples of just how sick and broken that old dying bird of the Morrisseau legacy has done. It’s disgusting. The whole fuckin thing. Here’s an example of a suspected Phil Cote fake sourced from Maslak mcleod:

Here’s the guy doing a talk at the church no less where he’ll give his bullshit interpretation of Morrisseau’s “man changing into crooked bird“ in downtown Toronto on this coming weekend. That’s how truly fucked up this legacy is. It’s a national shame and a total disgrace in the woodland school of art. Backwards Charlie as my father used to say. Any how this is the true nature of how I see this whole mess. The fraud behind the fraud. For me, that’s all this shit bag of a legacy will always be. A lie. A crooked bird that will never be able to fly straight. They’ll have to come to terms with this at some point. You cannot hide and deny the truth forever. People are waking up and are starting to realize that everything I have said about it has been straight up and honest. I will not let this continue to happen to another generation of innocent and trusting souls who wouldn’t  know otherwise if it wasn’t for people like me. Willing to risk my future on behalf of the truth. Once you know? You know...
