Good evening to each and everyone and once again it’s super cool to share the beautiful medicine and creativity being manifested throughout North America with this unique collaboration with Northcott fabrics and yours truly here @ Jacobson native art.
We’ve been so inspired by the various movements taking shape through this collection and this partnership throughout the world of quilting and fabric design. I’ve been absolutely blown away with the various creations coming from thousands of souls nationwide. It’s an exciting experience for me and for the countless others in whom are working with these fabrics. Sacred earth continues to impress and it’s a beautiful second edition to my first line in Healing waters.
Our family has received some amazing quilts and other work that was shipped to us here in the Kootenay mountains from all over Turtle Island and it’s such a cool feeling to be apart of. Lots of people are thankful and express their appreciation and contact me through email and Facebook to connect. The above quilt was made for me and it’s just a deadly piece As blankets are highly regarded amongst us First Nations and continue to represent that sacredness of warmth and comfort, it’s such an honour. I sleep with that as it fits my king size perfectly. Keeps me nice and warm and it feels awesome to be wrapped up in something made with such love and care.
Just feeling very happy with everything these days and the warmth and love being shared is simply profound. Who would’ve thought eh? The world of quilters is such an amazing and newly tapped source of incredible creativity and energy. I love them and appreciate them so much so, Miigwetch to each of them. With that I am honoured to continue bringing you all new experiences in the realms of indigenous art and culture. Stay tuned as we have some super great news to release and share with all of you here. All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈
Enjoy this beautiful track it just makes you feel wonderful by Chris Malinchak track title: So good to me. 😎
Good morning to each and everyone and I sure hope many of you are enjoying the new season and this much warmer transition. The season is in full blossom up here in the Kootenay mountains where I live. The power of Mother Earth is in full swing and it’s a beautiful new energy that is manifesting for us all. It’s been so much fun building these new collections with my business partner @ little giant productions here in the Kootenay’s. We are doing exciting things together and our collaboration is truly some of the best in the entire industry. Our quality and uniqueness is the driving force of our creative endeavours here in 2024 and beyond.
We have built a life long friendship in the process and are constantly complimenting one another as our collections continue to grow. We have high standards in authentic representation and in how we choose to work together. It’s a phenomenal connection and we both feel truly blessed to be able to deliver the best to each and everyone of you. We recently were approached by a company that desired to put us into 4000 stores but we’ve decided to turn that situation down. It simply isn’t the kind of deal we are looking for because quite frankly the terms were too cheap. For us it’s definitely not about plastering our work everywhere. Not interested in that. The decisions have to match our principles and must be in the nature of equality for all involved. If not? Go away. We are not searching out the colonial blueprint for fame and success. On the contrary we seek exclusive partnership with the right business and fit.
Here’s a shot of one of the many “sacred spots” I go to out here in the Kootenay mountains to spend quality creative and meditative time to reflect on things in my life and in the social constructs of our reality around the world. It’s usually only me and the animals of Mother Earth out here. I’m probably 50 km deep from where I live so it’s mighty quiet and peaceful. This is cougar and grizzly bear country. It’s phenomenal...but you must pay attention and be on guard. Nature is boss. Always.
Any how on that note I’m looking forward to sharing more releases and Information about what’s coming next here @ Jacobson native art so please stay tuned as there is much more to come.

Prompt: Concept will be developed into a painting honouring our indigenous sisters forever
Good evening to each and everyone and welcome to all those who find their way here, we appreciate you. I sure hope all is going well for many of you and I wanted to extend my gratitude for all the positive sharing and support of this new endeavour. Like I mentioned as an artist using this technology the skies the limit with its creative potential. The way I can infuse it, dream it, manifest it through A.I. and onto canvas, into a painting is absolutely incredible. I feel so comfortable with this new technology. The capabilities are mind blowing and for me to take the lead and embark upon indigenizing A.I. through my work as a woodland school artist feels phenomenal.
My vision is to stay close to the fundamentals of my culture and to use this technology to enhance my creativity and perspectives on the future interpretations of it. Like I shared the kaleidoscope of imagery is endless. I can cocreate ideas never before seen in indigenous art. Moving forward I feel such a purpose in what I have to share and say as an artist. It’s inspiring on so many levels but for me in particular, is the future. I have found a way on how to touch it, interact with it, propel it into undreamed of realms. These visions I create with it will be lasting Sacred scrolls based on teachings of the future. Even tying the past and the present. It’s deadly beautiful the whole path forward.
Prompt: Concept for canvas painting dealing with the reality of “Good Chief, Bad Chief”
Once again this is exciting and my hope is to inspire a whole new creative movement moving forward. It’s inevitable. The push forward should always be how spectacular can I cocreate with A.I.? Always making the energy and art more beautiful and perfecting it as best as possible. Reflecting brilliant imagination and execution. Finding ways to make it all work. That’s my interest moving forward. There’s no doubt the dreamer in me, the visionary is in a place of creative illumination. I can see ideas I only dreamed of and now with a creative relationship with this technology, I can create like never before. That’s exactly how I feel. It’s so profound. It’s so exciting.
Prompt: One of several in my A.I. files for tribute paintings to our cosmic ancestors
Life has taken on new meaning for me with this new discovery. I’m so happy to feel inspired as an artist again. This new direction is welcomed with deep appreciation and gratitude. I am joyful. I feel so inventive and playful and to dream again is something I’ve needed in the woodland school of art. The future looks promising once again. I can see into its vastness. So stay tuned as there will be much more to come...all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈
Enjoy this track by Miles Atmospheric. Track title: The apparition - calling you out
Good evening to each and everyone and welcome to another beautiful session here @ Jacobson native art. The weekend is upon us and I’m feeling absolutely wonderful and joyfully...just happy. Truly satisfied with my current creativity and process. I’m feeling a whole lot of gratitude because quite frankly I’m pushing myself and artistic blueprints into beautiful new energies and designs. The spirit feels so close these days and my connection to the Creator and the true wisdom throughout our Mother Earth is at levels I’ve never even dreamed of. I’m living each and every day right in the belly of Mother Earth. I have direct access to her spirit, to many of the animal clans of our culture. Everything is fully alive. Each season fully felt and experienced. It is an intimacy of true devotion to the spirit of our woodland school of art.
I realize as the older I get, the clearer I become because I seek truth and connection with what really matters to me. My life is such a gift as is each of yours. This next chapter for me is about clearing away the bullshit and the toxic people who perhaps will never be able to fully understand or accept me. Good riddance. At this level, there’s a reason why they get removed from the fold. They are not ready and usually get themselves in the way. In the way of healing, of progress, of truth. They are still stuck in the world. Their sense of self attached to the social constructs of the colonizer. Still broken within...
Picture taken of my backyard out here in Crawford Bay BC. (Kootenay mountains)
My vision is clear. My spirit is at peace. My heart is at ease. I can see things as they are in their pure situation and circumstance. I am detached from the world and most of its people like never before. This is what is important to me. The pure freedom to be and express myself. Without limitation. Dancing in the holiness of life. Being a great artist and living my truth, our truth, the truth. Founded in my culture and throughout many of our ceremonies I am so proud to be Anishanabe. To be a spearhead of the Creators ever advancing creation.

Enjoy this track by Monolink. Track title: Father ocean (Ben Bohmer remix)
Good evening to each and everyone here @ Jacobson native art. We are happy to announce with pride and excitement our second gallery location out here in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. Our first main gallery with Kunze and Jacobson native art is a beautiful success and my partnership with them is absolutely stellar to say the least. Both Sandy and her husband Dirk understand the true path of truth and reconciliation. They have been so loyal and respectful, kind and loving that it has reinvigorated my love and appreciation for humanity. They have opened their life to me and have gone out of their way to make me feel apart of. It’s so refreshing and beautiful.

I’ll be sharing my time at both new gallery locations as we are building something very beautiful together. I do believe this has never been done by an indigenous artist throughout colonial Canada. To be operating and managing 2 galleries simultaneously here in the region is quite unique and special. I feel super thrilled by the whole pursuit of making my art and the cultural and spiritual energy of the great Anishanabe a focal point for bringing the people together. Mother Earth and all creation upon her must find a way so that we can joyfully cocreate for future generations ahead. This is the purity of my heart.

There will be so much new growth and potential manifesting here that I’m truly excited to be apart of. My new partnership with Luc @ little giant productions is coming along beautifully. We both are excited about our new and upcoming grand opening in Kaslo BC this July 1st, 2024. Our product lines are simply the best out there and we are offering collections with a unique touch that really nobody else is doing. We are fresh in energy and spirit. Our common goals are aligned and this is truly the kinds of partnerships I’ve been searching for my whole life. It’s coming together, the visions and dreams now have their time to be born. What a wonderful blessing for all of us combined. Stay tuned as more information and updates to come over the next few weeks. We are truly building a dream here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch and all my relations...MAJ
Enjoy this track to kick off our second gallery enterprise.

Good evening to each and everyone and here’s to a healthy and strong new year as we continue to trudge this road of happy destiny. For those who know having a child is reality bending and changing on every level you can think of. The most profound journey any soul can go through. It’s our true purpose. Our son Sagein Wisdom is all of that and more. As I have stated several times throughout many of my articles, he’s the most profound teacher I’ve ever known. The pound for pound greatest champion of my heart. A true living legend that I’m super blessed to help guide and navigate with through this thing called life. Indeed it is true what they say that having a child opens up a part of your heart you never knew you had. It’s been over 6 years now with him in my life each and every day. All of it has been absolutely mind blowing and truly phenomenal on all levels. I don’t want to be anywhere else in life except right here, beside him.
Ever since leaving Vancouver in 2017 and moving out here to the Kootenay mountains we’ve been living a beautiful and peaceful lifestyle. We live right in the heart of the mountains off Kootenay lake. Tucked away in the hidden landscapes living our dream life. I have access right outside my front door to the thresholds of Mother Earth. Grizzlies comb our backyard, cougars have trails around here. The elk and deer are plentiful and our water supply comes right from the top of the mountain where we live. We breath clean air and are not bothered by corporations or the Canadian colonial government. No cops for 2 hours atleast and we police ourselves out here. There are only 350 souls who live here. Nobody fucks around because if you do? You’ll find out. You can get shot here and there’s nobody to help you for a couple hours atleast. So you learn quickly about the responsibility of community here or your out.
I’ve got lots of options out here and nobody really knows anything about the woodland school of art so I can fully represent the true living spirit of my culture and artform here. It’s refreshing. Also I’m one of only a hand full of Indians living here so that too is quite fresh and renewing for me as well. It affords me a lot of creative freedom and individuality as I bring a whole new creative energy with regards to what Jacobson native art is. It’s absolutely beautiful to just be myself and bring a new fresh approach to the woodland school or as my great mentor Roy Thomas would say; Anishinaabe art. With me staying true to the actual spirit of the art and perfecting the process of laying it down for future generations. Being out here as a Thunderbird spirit is where Thunderbirds like to be. In places like this.
This is a shot of Kaslo BC and we lived there for 2 years before moving here to Crawford bay BC. I loved it there and built some strong relationships and memories of the whole region. It’s where I also confronted my generational trauma and began to process decades and decades of life experiences. Having a child will no doubt bring everything up for you as a new parent and you’ll be forced to look at yourself and your family dynamics. You will go either 2 ways. Hide and deny or face it and heal. The spiritual powers inherent in our children are astronomical. Creator like. The purity of it. Transformational.
Pictured here: Sagein observing his painting I’m making for him. 2019 in Kaslo, BC
This whole awakening of becoming a father and sticking to the plan each and every day has profoundly changed me. All thanks to my little boy in Sagein. The most spectacular change agent I know. It’s so powerful and our bond is the best I’ve ever had. You see, I know the fuckin road maps of what it was like, what happened and what its like now. I grew up with an absentee father who struggled with the bottle his whole life. Never really made an effort when he left after around 7 years old for me. It left a hole in my soul that nothing could ever really fill. A fathers role is that important, it’s that significant. Especially for us boys.

So indeed the masterful levels of self reflection and the changing of the behaviours and actions from times of the past are essential. To grow and learn how to do things different and not follow those old paradigms is truly a transformational process. It is refinement and a filling of all those holes in your heart that you unfortunately had to endure and go through. That’s why I place the highest values on my son. Because no other force could do it, could get in there. The keys to my heart he was born with. Only his existence could open those doors. A failed childhood filled with major suffering and trauma leaves a lasting stain on your soul. The magic is in our children. I know this because my son shows me the way each and every day. Love, trust, safety and comfort are essential to his wellbeing. For him to fully express himself. A living dynamo of self expression. The very nature of his life to just be. Perfect little him in every single way. All of it the gift of his life, our life as father and son. My true light in this world, why every day is really the best days we've ever had. All my love to you my boy, momma and dadda love you always and forever...

Good evening to each and everyone. Here at Jacobson native art we are proud to share the majestic beauty and spiritual powers of our son in Sagein Wisdom. He truly is the light of my world and each and every day a spiritual force of teaching me how to be a gentle, loving and trusting father. The greatest journey I've ever been on in my 50 years on Mother Earth.
A beacon of spiritual light that aligns me with the fun and creative will of the great master itself, our Creator. I am blessed beyond measure to witness this energy and spirit each and every day. The greatest of my loves, our son. So with that, I welcome you all to whom it is a fine privilege to share in this magical life and the one in whom we work for. Our boy. All my relations and more to come. MAJ
This track is for you my boy. To always know and remember our deepest love and honour for you. In life and in death, I’ll be here for you. This I trust in the great foreverness...

Any how this is only one of several new projects coming forward here @ Jacobson native art. So stay tuned because we are hoppin and the vibes are deadly beautiful in the creative house of Jacobson. (All hoodies designed and manufactured here in B.C.)
In the meantime check out this smokin track by Loco & Jam titled: We touched the sky.
Things are going absolutely phenomenal these days @ Jacobson native art. Every day is filled with excitement, spirit, creativity and healing. It’s a real dream come true. I feel so grateful and appreciative of this new direction in my life. My gallery partner in Johnny and fellow master artist in Kurtis and the rest of the team is delighted beyond measure. We are all super happy...
Also the creative energy has been picking up significantly and I’m getting ready to maximize the outdoor art studio over the next coming weeks. The temperature will be much more efficient during the fall into Indian summer. So I’m getting really excited about that. I have numerous commissions to execute and this season has been just explosive regarding all this new energy.
Today at the gallery and art studio we had the honour and privilege to clean up this eagle we found a couple weeks back. We feasted the eagle clan and offered our tobacco offerings in a good way. We took care of all aspects of this sacred bird. We believe this was a gift to us from Creator and Mother Earth. The skull is being prepared, 2 eagle bone whistles, tail fan, 2 wings and talons being cured. We know from these signals of the spirit that indeed all is well. We are on the path...and with that I say chi-meegwetch to all my relations and enjoy this Peyote prayer song by Louie Gonnie titled: Spheres and Talismans.
This is how powerful and beautiful it felt for us today dealing with the Eagle...
Good evening to each and everyone. Things have been absolutely incredible here at the new gallery and open art studio. The energy and spiritual force has been transformational for every single visitor who comes to experience us. We are definitely playing in the fields of true healing and inspiration. I’ve been to all the galleries across Canada dealing in indigenous art and everyone who comes here and experiences this agrees, there is nothing like what we are offering and bringing to the table.
Our combined spiritual energies and alignment is a spearhead for this new and exciting evolution here @ Jacobson native art. We are the platform out here and new model for how these conversations are manifesting in regards to the healing of the cultural fabric of this country, our nation. All who come in to our creative temple leave feeling inspired, understood, valued and deeply appreciated.
The ancestral power and guiding lights of the souls of our residential school children are leading the way for us. We are instruments of healing, of love and compassion. It’s what these children want, to come together as the human race and embrace each other for the beauty that we are. They desire this unity and healing, this oneness.
We will be working with master leather artist: Kurtis Staven
He is of Sioux heritage and it is an honour and blessing to have one of our featured artists at the gallery and studio lead us in this exciting medicine bag making workshop.
