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

Questions the media should be asking the estate of Norval Morrisseau once my lawsuit is filed…

 

Artist: Francis Horne. Tribe - Coast Salish. Title of mask: Shamans transformation 

Good evening to each and everyone and it’s been a heck of a summer with lots of action manifesting. So as some of you are aware, I finished off my statement of claim and the law firm representing me is putting everything together. The finishing touches so to speak. Much like the mask I posted here by Francis Horne, it has been a very difficult and challenging process digging up these truths I’ve discovered around the historic sex crimes of Norval Morrisseau. Dealing in both life and death and finding this information has on most days taken its toll. It’s super stressful, ugly to look into, challenging to bring these truths forward but is no doubt the absolute right thing to do. I fully understand how hard it is to come forward and expose these experiences. 

From having once felt proud and honoured to have met Norval and those around him to now having complete disdain for his art and legacy. The amount of lies and cover ups go deep. I never wanted to be involved in something like this. This whole undertaking happened to me. I was gonna find my own way through it I suppose until I discovered a total of 7 victims including myself with more to be revealed. That’s usually how it goes with these historic sex crimes from the past. More people and their stories find the light of day. It certainly takes a whole lot of courage and self determination to plow one’s way through it all. This has been my experience. 

The reality that I now know and carry is that propping up sexual abusers as cultural icons is 100% wrong. I’ve also come to understand that if I don’t speak up and speak out about it, that probably nothing would get done and that these accounts would be lost in the history of time. Something that unfortunately happens to many. I had to make a serious commitment to this reality. After working with one of my hero’s in Dallas Thompson and the 4 other survivors who brought Gary Lamont to justice, this truth in me lingered on and on. It interrupted so many facets of my daily life. I couldn’t just push it down any further in me. I have had to face the facts that what happened to me is sexual assault. I never asked for Norvals hand to be down my pants touching my ass. It is my belief that Gabe Vadas was the architect of this experience. He facilitated this to happen for Norval because that’s who Norval Morrisseau was and will always be. A piece of shit sexual abuser. 

Pictured here: Gabe Vadas painting Norval Morrisseau paintings (hundreds of them) image sourced from his former wife, Michelle Vadas. 

Here are some questions I think the Canadian media should be asking both Gabe and his buddy in ding dong Dingle the current so-called ceo of this broken and highly dysfunctional estate. For example I know there are pictures that Norval took of a young Gabe, I seen them, I know who has them with Gabe posing for Norval (his lover not his adopted father). Dozens and dozens of images. I remember Gabe Vadas telling me what it was like to get “poked by the shaman” (his words). On what planet is it ok for your so-called adopted father to have sex with his adopted son? Why has Gabe been lying about his true history with Norval Morrisseau? He was Norvals lover, that’s who he truly was. Until Gabe wanted out, he wanted a wife and family. But before that? Norval the sex predator found Gabe on the streets as a young street hustler. It’s all made up shit about the so-called adoption. That was a cover up. With the amount of manipulation and game playing that those 2 are guilty of they had to forge a new way forward. The role of Gabe becoming manager and the new story of his adoption as father and son would become the way forward from that point on. But it isn’t the truth. He also had become Norvals pimp securing young and lost street boys from the downtown east side and other such neighborhoods where gay sex could be found and brought home to Norval. 

For years these were the rituals being performed in the studio of the so-called grand shaman of the Ojibway. They would smoke crack and do lines all night day after day and would drink themselves silly until Norval would pass out, shitting his pants and leaving his mess all over the place. Ask many who were there, they know. Cory knows. Gabe knew. The family knew, that’s why the resentments. Their roles in the art fraud of their sex predator father. His brothers knew, many in our First Nations communities knew too. What do they call it: unspoken truths. Exactly. It’s a major problem in many of our communities regarding sexual predators and many of them not being held accountable. Facing justice is not only difficult for the accused, it’s even harder for the victim/survivor. To put the weight of another’s sins, dirty deeds, sex crimes and such and force the victim to come forward is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of being a person who is a survivor. It’s not easy to hold these people accountable and having to walk through all these doors and explain yourself to people you don’t even know who are in these perceived roles of justice. Super difficult to do and being First Nations? Even harder. To have to humble yourself to such a degree in the pursuit of justice, incredible perseverance. 


As they say more will be revealed and that’s exactly what is going to happen with my lawsuit. I have found things that will no doubt shift the narrative on Morrisseau forever. To tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. As ugly as that will be. It will be done. I have told these discoveries to Cory Dingle when he took on the role of ceo. (A role he told me he begged Gabe for) He’s known about my claims for 3 years now and has done absolutely nothing to address it. He instead chose to tell me in my last phone conversation at that time that he was gonna roll right over me. (His words). Imagine what kind of person you have to be to deny my claims and then after that tell me that you’re going to run right over me? Or better yet, having that knowledge and choosing to deny it to every single person you’ve done business with on behalf of the Norval Morrisseau estate from then until now? 

He even went so far as sending the pedophile shaman artist to the moon, involving everyone who was apart of that including indigenous relations Canada, nasa, lunar codex, Elon musk who owns space x (that’s how it was flown in January of 2025). Imagine all the traditional First Nations grandmothers, mothers and daughters who all hold a sacred position with grandmother moon in that regard? 
How will they all respond when this info gets out? I can’t even look at the moon in the same light anymore. Cory dingle destroyed that for me. A white colonizer who chose this path rather than real truth and reconciliation. 

What about this so-called ceo in Cory ding dong dingle not telling the truth about my sexual assault claims then he decides it’s a great idea to do a truth and reconciliation art show with the untied church of Canada 
in Toronto Ontario? How would the united church feel knowing about that? Like Dingle in so doing, would just try and hide these sexual assault claims behind the cross of Jesus? Is that what truth and reconciliation looks like to you? How would this sit with the entire united church of Canada? I think most Canadians and first nations would agree that something has to be done.This matter needs to be addressed. It affects everyone who holds the moon sacred, our customs and culture. 


All those relationships he created since he became the ceo and not any of them truly knowing what was going on behind the scenes. That this story, my story and the 7 of us who were victims not being seen, not being heard and just being forgotten about. Does that look to you like someone you should be doing business with? 

What about the 2 schools named after Norval Morrisseau? His order of canada? All those things will have to be addressed at some point. It’s inevitable. Like Buffy Saint- Marie, I sense that those 2 stories will indeed have a lot in common. 

It’s as though I will have to be the one who has to come forward to shine the light on this. Once again, something I never asked for. That’s the hard part. I must and I will. I am ready. Unfortunately there will be names and their accounts that have to be spoken on, but that is the necessary reality when exposing such crimes. People will get hurt and it’s the unfortunate part of investigative journalism. The damages and the costs have been laid out in my statement of claim. My lawyer has figured out those realities. We are just a few days away from launching. I won’t be able to say much more on this matter and will have to pursue legal advice from here on in but there you have it. 

Im fully ready to go. See you in court.

The creative power of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) and the innovation being explored here @ Jacobson native art

 

Title of painting: Chiefs of the future - series 4. Size: 16 x 24 inches. 2024

Good evening and thank you for all the love and support behind the scenes going on in my life. I’m feeling grateful and ready to go. I’ve been busy developing different ideas into my woodland a.i concepts and I’m feeling tons of enthusiasm for some of these projects coming into fruition. I’ve got another 10 new images being developed and ready for new canvas paintings. That should be ready for pick up by next week. Feeling excited about this as these image prompts are spectacular to work with. Combining this technology with my work in woodland is totally new, fresh and inspiring. I welcome you to “Woodland A.I. 


I’m happy to also share that I finally got my will and testament written and legally worked out. That takes off a whole world of pressure and makes things precisely clear on how I want that to be settled for my son and his future. Having Jacobson bloodline family members as guardians of my estate for Sagein was paramount for the trust and commitment needed. I feel super confident in my choices around such a sensitive but necessary process. All of it being done in the colonial province of Ontario, my birthplace. What happened to some won’t happen to me. Even in the afterlife I’ll be keeping an eye on things. I feel secure in this knowledge. 
Prompt: Guardians of my estate @ Jacobson native art. 2025


Obviously this is just the bare necessities and a general outline but indeed it fully empowers my son as the CEO of Jacobson native art and fully acknowledges him as the source of carrying this legacy into future generations. His momma Kassondra will also play a critical role as she understands the very nature of this obligation. So with that worked out it gave me plenty of time and space to get my ducks in a row. Having clarity for my son is of the upmost importance. Like I often share he is the light of my world, the greatest teacher I have ever met and he’s just 7 years old. My boy….

Prompt: Nature and technology will find the way forward, together. 2025

I’ve got some new ideas that I want to try and experiment with and this prompt helps me to envision what that could look like. I want to see what I can do combining 3 art forms together as one. Something I’ve been dreaming to do and with A.I. as my creative apprentice, there is so much to explore in that realm. I’m excited to see what I’ll be able to do. These are such fun to play with and imagine. I suppose I’ll always love what I’ve accomplished in woodland style itself, mastering many of the masters before me. But this is something that only I can touch in this moment of time. Uncharted creative realms that even them would wish to play in. It’s exciting and thankfully separates me from the pack. No pun intended…lol. 

Prompt: Death to the war machine. 2025

This image prompt here will be a piece I build acknowledging the horror of war and my greatest wish for it to someday, end. I don’t like violence and in my view it is only necessary if someone really tries to fuck around. Self defence if all communication fails. The last resort if someone is trying to actually kill you. Then one must defend. Sad that I even have to say that but the reality is many simply cannot be trusted. They haven’t evolved. Their souls are stale. Their light dimmed. It’s a weakness. Violence. So I’ll attempt to put my voice into the mix sharing this future artwork as a statement of anti war, anti violence. I love the creative effect of how this robot turned out. The background is a bit wonky but I’ll strip all that away and redefine the image and paint my woodland style throughout it. 

It’s a powerful image, a powerful statement that I can make. This is where A.I. and I really get along. In co-creating and making art together. Of course I use it in many other ways as well but its primary function for me at this stage is making new art together that the world has never seen. That excites me. This moves me into undreamed of new worlds. I love A.I. for this reason and the creative collaboration and innovation is simply next level. In a lot of ways I’ve outgrown just regular woodland style. There’s only so much that can be done in that limited 2 dimensional realm. With woodland A.I the future is where I am now. It’s a spectacular new dimension to my work and creativity. 

More to come so please stay tuned as the future continues to unfold here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Just another day of mastering the masters @ Jacobson native art in the summer of 2025

 

Title of painting: Natures guardianship. Size: 30 x 48 inches. 2025

Good morning to each and everyone and I sure hope many of you are enjoying the beautiful energy of summer. We’ve been very busy and I’m feeling great about getting back to my commissions list. Slowly getting through the process and finding more time to get back into the creative swing of things. I’ve been working on a whole new bunch of woodland A.I. paintings as well. With me I like to have several projects going on at the same time. Keeps me in the flow and I also have periods where the artist needs to rest. Focus on other tasks and situations that are going on for me as well.

This painting is going to another fabulous collector who has bought several paintings over the last 18 months. I’m honoured and grateful for the amazing blessings and opportunities. Life is definitely taking on new meaning and I’ve found a new level within me no doubt about it. I’m very excited for what awaits in the near future. The time and space has arrived on my journey and there is revolutionary change upon the horizons. These are no doubt exciting times. 

Enjoy this new release and indeed we’ll be building new collections around this masterpiece. With new worlds of inspiration and innovation taking shape there is a whole new vastness of clarity and focus manifesting in my life. There will be much more to come so thank you for staying in the loop here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Proud to announce my 3rd fabric collection coming in 2026 @ Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art

 



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….

Sending out blessings of wisdom on national indigenous peoples day this June 21st, 2025

 

Title of painting on canvas: Good chief / bad chief - which will you choose to be

Happy national indigenous peoples day to all my friends and family. A big Miigwetch of love and respect to many of my art fans and collectors and I am so blessed to have dedicated people who surround me each and every day. I am honoured that I can speak the truth and to continue trudging this road of life and destiny. I’ll be celebrating 27 years off the booze and I’m super grateful for this blessing. It has changed my life so dramatically and obviously has introduced me to a vast knowledge and know how in spirituality. My sovereignty as an Anishanabe culture creator/artist lighting the way for 40 plus years now. What a ride so far in this the 21st century.

Just feeling some gratitude for what is working in my life. The love for my son and being a good partner to his mom and us working on the healing and freedom through decolonization of being solid in our family unit starts there each and every day. The foundation of our family is we walk in a softer, kinder and gentler way each and every day. Freedom to be ourselves and giving one another all the space in the world to be ourselves. We don’t practice control, zero violence, no manipulation, speak freely, always room to grow, have fun, be genuine. 

Having the space to be your own genuine self in your family is absolutely essential. No one wants to be told what to do, arguing is pointless. Being a good listener who follows up with positive actions and walks with self honesty and integrity is where it’s at. We have one another’s back. Every day. It’s pretty awesome and inspiring learning how to be healthy and strong together. I love my family. They love me. We’re cool. 

Here are a few good teachings to practice and try to live by. 

1: Be honest. Be authentic. It’s the light of your spirit.
2: Daily prayer and meditation keep the mind clean & quiet.
3: Anishanabe ways work. Use them. It’s good medicine.
4: It doesn’t matter how others think of you. It matters how you think of you.
5: Gratitude is powerful. It helps to transcend suffering.
6: Observance of source in all things. Hard to do when humans can be horribly ugly.
7: Nurturance of life. Give, share, nurture others, kindness and respect.

Once again I say chi-Miigwetch for all the good being created and shared with us and I look forward to continuing to share much more over the next few months. We’ve got some very exciting things waiting to be shared and we continue to expand our creative vision and blueprint. Here’s to the healing of all First Nations people and I’m thankful to continue to be an authentic source for truth and reconciliation and I appreciate many of you so very much. Stay tuned as we’ve got more to share…

Welcome to Woodland A.I. the next level of innovation expanding my visionary creativity into the vastness of the future

 

Title of painting: I am woodland A.I - I am Rainbow Thunderbird 14 x 22 inches

Good evening to each and everyone here @ Jacobson native art. Been a busy weekend getting new canvases prepped for my next creative cycle regarding my list of commissions and such. Feeling joyful and quite satisfied with these 2 new releases of my new indigenous art genre in woodland A.I. Once again it was very challenging to work with these smaller brushes and I did some experimentation in these pieces as well working with acrylic paint pens and found them to be a nice addition to working with smaller pieces. 

These were a whole lot of fun and I see so much creative potential in this new discovery. I love playing around with these interesting concepts and ideas. I feel myself being challenged and looking at my artistic process in a whole new dimension really. No doubt pushing the boundaries of the entire woodland school of art into the future. To tell you the truth, I can’t even look at regular woodland art anymore. I’ve found a completely new level for me and there’s no stopping my unlimited potential in how I can collaborate with this technology. For me, woodland A.I. stands for Anishanabe intelligence. It’s an incredible gift this new technology. From the Fire and Water spirits, those elementals creating through electricity and light. Blessing humanity with the ability to shift up the world game on planet Earth in ways that we can only imagine. So imagine we shall. I’ll continue to explore and expand my knowledge and artistic path by moving forward more in this direction as time passes. This new door will for sure be one of the highlights of my artistic legacy.

Creating these works inspire me greatly and I love the energy I get to play with and imagine. It’s truly created a new hope in me as an artist. There’s just so much wickedness and darkness in the woodland school. Many fake artists and wanna be’s tryin their hardest to be a colonial something on the Canadian art scene. It’s really weird when you continue to decolonize. You get an inside view on how the big machine works. It’s fake light. Being in nature is a whole other ball game. It changes you. Your goals, dreams and desires, they change. That has been my experience. I’ve been in the woodland school art scene for 40 plus years now. I’ve seen it all. Pretty much what most are doing. I had to find a new level. I mastered the woodland style and I needed a new challenge. A new direction. A new art form. A new energy in woodland A.I. 

Enjoy these new paintings on unstretched canvas. I really had such a blast making these happen and here they are pushing the boundaries of indigenous art for future generations. With that I say chi-Miigwetch and all my relations. More to come…

Got to chill out with my friend Supaman and bless him with some new Woodland A.I. pieces @ Jacobson native art

 

Good evening to each and everyone and I just wanted to share some “good medicine” that I got to hang out and chill with a fellow brother and warrior for truth. He came up from the states and did a show in the Kootenay mountains of BC. We had a good time and I was honoured to bless him with a couple of limited editions on canvas from my Woodland A.I. series of Chiefs of the future # 3 and # 4. He was blown away with my creativity and felt honoured to bring these back home. Indeed it was and is good medicine for us both. Real recognizes real. 

Any how it was a night to remember and what better way for a couple of warriors for our people to make the connection and spend some time chillin. With much respects and a good heart I say chi-Miigwetch for the great visions and blessings for our combined futures…all my relations…

It’s an end to an era for me, fuck the legacy of the dead pedophile artist in Norval Morrisseau and fuck the Canadian art scene…

 

Well folks, it’s been one hell of a journey as an indigenous artist for me and I’ve reached a crossroads with regard to my experiences. I simply cannot go on pretending that everything is ok and it’s all going to go away. This battle of exposing the truth has done me no favours. The delusion is so deep and grotesque that eventually one reaches their breaking point. The insanity of people trying to pretend that Morrisseau was some sort of hero and cultural icon is on most days an uphill battle. The depths of gross negligence and arrogance is simply too much and I’m just one person trying to stand up for the truth. I don’t have much support because most people don’t even know how to grasp what I’ve found. They don’t want to address it and I simply don’t have enough time or the resources to continue on. Fighting for the truth and trying to stand up with integrity and honesty slowly wears me down. It’s a lot like all the efforts I went through in fighting the art fraud. It’s tiring my heart and soul. I cannot trust any of these people associated with the Morrisseau estate. They are all fuckin liars and real scumbags. These people literally make me sick to my stomach. I see them for who they are but many don’t because they don’t know this story, my story. I’m beginning to sense that I really don’t matter…it’s a difficult reality and most of the time I feel like giving up. 


This is the colonial Canada in full effect where money and power are at its roots. Built on the genocide of my people. Mostly white Canadian colonizers who use their education and influence to deflect from the real stories as I’ve outlined and tried to share here. I’ve written emails, Facebook posts and articles doing my best to be honest and straightforward. I’ve had a few people who have sided with me and who stand in solidarity but not enough to help me continue the fight. It gets challenging because I feel I’m alone in this. I truly understand why those who have been sexually abused find it so hard to come forward. With no support and financial backing it gets really difficult to continue on. I also have lost my enthusiasm for art and in dealing with the Canadian art scene. It’s really fuckin gross to tell you the truth. On top of that I’m someone who suffers from a lifetime disability since 1998 with a chronic condition and on most days my symptoms get the best of me. I struggle with depression and ptsd. It’s beginning to effect my confidence in writing, spelling and numbers. I go through long pauses in my creativity and feel discouraged as an artist most of the time. I owe much of my suffering to the outright ignorance of white settler Canadian society. The gallery scene, the museums, the academics and art historians. All of them absolutely fuckin blind to the truth. 

This is the daily struggle and reality that I am faced with. Who wants to be apart of a system like this? I feel so betrayed by the whole thing. From giving years of my life to trying to find justice to eventually being completely let down by having to come to terms with so much wasted time, neglect, lack of support and denial of my truth. No wonder some people snap and go on a killing spree. I understand that now and although these thoughts have crossed my mind, I have to think of what’s best for my little boy. So I choose to try and find a way forward in this world of darkness and deceptions. Liars with money isn’t an easy thing to face. I don’t have many connections in the Canadian art scene because I simply cannot trust it. With bullshitters around the Morrisseau estate, the world of academia, lawyers and consultants, Canadian art galleries and such, it just takes a toll. 


I don’t want it no more. I don’t want to have to participate in a corrupt system as this. It’s just too fucked up and it’s become so big that it’s easy to get lost in it all. I’m done. I’m bowing out and will look for more smaller and intimate ways of moving forward and getting on with it. It certainly hasn’t been easy but at this point I’ve tried my very best to push through. Most of the people I’ve met around Morrisseau are total fuckin cowards. Most of them white settler colonizers. Believing the lies they are told because of the money involved, chasing the money, property and prestige. The foundations of colonial Canada. 

Any how I want to end this article with a statement of my truth. I fought the art fraud with this guy in Kevin hearn from the Canadian pop band in the Barenakedladies. He was someone I respected until I started speaking up about the historic sex crimes of Norval Morrisseau. The last thing I said to him after he said to me that I was speaking bad things about Norval was that I had to let him go as a friend. I couldn’t be friends with someone who was siding with my sexual abuser. He chose the dead pedophile artist. After everything I did for him, he chose that. That was really the last knife in the heart. He chose a lie and to not stand in solidarity with the real and painful truth. My truth. I’ve now found a total of 8 sexual assault victims. And where are they?


Fuckin nowhere to be found. Not a call, not a message, not an email. Nothing. It’s gross negligence and it’s absolutely phoney and fake in my books. I see now why the Creator removed them all from my life. They couldn’t be there for me in my darkest hour, they couldn’t extend me any grace because my truth would demolish their delusion. Morrisseau was a sex abuser of children. Of young men like myself at that time. They stand with that…I have chosen to stand alone…

Good bye…for now. Until we meet again. Miigwetch for everything and all my relations,
