Artists like Buffy Saint Marie and Norval Morrisseau are liars, they conned generations of people

 

Good afternoon and here’s to discovering more truth about the lies concerning both the pretendian Buffy Sainte-Marie and the historic sexual abuser in Norval Morrisseau. Both a national disgrace. Who is the real Buffy Sainte-Marie? Well now we know. She was an Italian woman who for over 60 years pretended to be indigenous. She had the whole world fooled. She achieved international fame by being one of the most pathological liars in history. It’s absolutely gross if you ask me. All the awards? The grants? The Canadian government giving them accolades. Canadian media celebrating both her and Norval as icons. The Order of Canada recipient just like Morrisseau, Wow huh? Lol...

Foolish to buy into this. This is one of the main reasons why I have bowed out of the colonial way of life, Why I have chosen to live deep in the mountains and to live a solitary lifestyle. To be close to nature spirit and the animals that inhabit this beautiful spirit of Mother Earth. The colonial system is absolutely fuckin weak, Soulless, Cultureless and empty. Starving for the very cultural fabric it has been stealing from us First Nations since contact. The levels of betrayal, mistrust, lies and deceptions is simply over the top. Too challenging for most to deal with and face. It is the very plan and outline of colonialism, to keep you in the dark. To make it up as they go along. To oppress and take what is ours for their own selfish benefit. 

Times are indeed changing. The great awakening is upon us. The real spirit of truth and reconciliation is a spiritual force. The souls of all of us who have been gravely affected by these acts of genocide, crimes against humanity and the effects of residential schools is a testament to our strengths and perseverance. There are still so many who cannot get over this reality. They are stuck in the grips of this pain or are in total denial. They cannot bring themselves to the truth. They are afraid to step up because many are so dependent on this colonial system. They are afraid to lose the money, the fame, the notoriety and success. So they remain silent out of fear to rock that boat of comfort, of success. 


 I will continue to choose to rock the boat and I will continue to stand for truth in a time when this colonial world loves the lie. I will stand for justice because I know it’s the right thing to do. I will raise my voice and speak up on affairs I think are of national importance for the people of today and the souls of tomorrow. You know, I feel sorry for artists who live a life of half truths. Who hide behind the shine of the dollar. Who they themselves prefer the deceptions. They can’t even admit when their wrong it’s that bad. They have their own head up their own ass. Just like Norval and Buffy. 

Artists like Jackie Traverse and Blake Angeconeb both in whom I’ve tried to help along who ended up betraying me with their stupidity. Ignorant little farts in the wind. Both ignorant of the truth. Take for example Jackie who thinks only the historic sexual predator and child sex abuser in Norval Morrisseau should only be painting woodland style. Never mind who inspired him and where he took from like his predecessors in those who first created the pictographs, the birch bark scrolls etc. She is a major disappointment. An angry, bitter and jealous female native artist who decided to take a stand against me because I speak the truth. She’s done absolutely zero investigations into the cultural fabric of our woodland school. It’s embarrassing really. Good riddance. And the same can be said of Flake Angeconeb who chose to go the root of colonialism and not the true way of authentic apprenticeship. 

You can plainly see it in his lack of knowledge in the art form and the animal clan teachings. It’s mostly  stolen ideas from others and a mishmash of colonial concepts such as cartoons and tv programs. Even still with the news of the Morrisseau sexual abuse Scandal and now about Buffy Sainte-Marie being a pretendian. A fake, a scam and he says and does absolutely nothing. Too afraid to do any real meaningful research artists like these are shadow artists. Shadow people. Afraid of the real truth and light that separates the truth from the lie. Cowards. Weak, sell outs. All for the money. For the white mans path to success.


 That is not the spirit of woodland art. Even artists like my mentor in Roy Thomas, his friends in Saul Williams and Gelineau Fisher knew to stay away from Morrisseau. They knew he was a complete douche bag and was an abuser of young boys and young men. Discoveries I recently learned investigating these sex abuse claims. That is where the truth is. In legends like this who knew what I know. What I am now choosing to share and expose to the world. More importantly for the future. For woodland school artists who’ll find me and say: chi-miigwetch for telling the truth. For setting the record straight. For future generations....
