Good evening to everyone who continues to come by and spend some time here @ Jacobson native art. Just wanted to share that everything is rolling along here nicely one day at a time. I’m feeling happy and content with where my heart and spirit is at. Creatively I’m up and down a bit but these new works bring a whole new burst of excitement and imagination that quite frankly I’ve been searching for on some new level. I think I’ve discovered that here with my new genre in woodland A.I.
The new innovation taking shape through my view and creative interpretation with using this next level technology in A.I. which for me stands for: “Anishanabe intelligence”. I am Anishanabe and yes, I’m intelligent. So with my personal experience and indigenous lens, I get to shape it in how I see fit. Not even A.I. itself is capable of putting it together like I can in Woodland A.I. It takes me to make it happen. I’m the instrument willing to channel this new creative horizon with all these unique aspects and qualities involved in that creative process. My visionary mindset and intelligence in how I choose to make it all happen is the spark of that creativity. Without me? Nothing happens like this. It’s a cool vibe for me to spread my wings and fly…
I retook the image of this painting titled: I am woodland A.I. - I am Rainbow Thunderbird in a shaded natural light setting, out doors. We can plainly see the difference in colour saturation in the examples of this post and the one below it. The first image I took in doors with an art lamp. Shines the colours differently but I think this second photo in natural light outdoors is a significant difference. The feel of the work of art feels more complete and in colour sync. I’m pleased with the outcome and we are currently in process and development on our little giant productions platform of 10 new collections being prepared to the already 16 collections being currently represented. We’ll have 6 new woodland A.I. images and collections being released including 4 new woodland art images and collections being built. Very exciting times.
In the meantime I’m working on my commissions list and building more woodland A.I. paintings in the process. I’m also spending so much quality time with my boy in Sagein Wisdom. He’s 7 years old now and over the last 6 months has developed an obsession with mathematics and learning how to take pictures and videos. We get to spend every day learning and loving this incredible journey of life together. He is no doubt, the light of my world. The centre of my universe. The greatest teacher I’ve ever met. The patriarch of the entire Jacobson bloodline. The CEO of Jacobson native art. Stay tuned my friends and indeed there is much more to come…

Good morning to each and everyone and once again we wish you only the best here @ Jacobson native art and a warm welcome into 2025. Like I’ve shared it’s been an incredible year of creative innovation and collaboration. Giving birth to Woodland A.I. this year and transforming the future of indigenous art with this new visionary and cutting edge technology has been such a breath of new fresh air. It’s exhilarating in every sense of the word. My own discovery and invention. A new path forward for me as an artist. I look forward to seeing what happens next for sure.
Took my boy up the mountain tonight and we did a night time drive on the ATV and had an absolute blast together. We hung out and played “swords of destiny” and “warriors of eternal power”. His current favourite game we made up together and he absolutely loves it. Brings him the best smiles and laughter. I’m so happy being his father. Our bond is the greatest gift I’ve ever known. I see Creator in him all the time. I call him my greatest teacher because that’s exactly what he is. He is so confident and playful. His mind is so fascinating and curious. He just turned 7 years old this month. The CEO of Jacobson native art. My pride and joy. A true privilege walking together side by side on this journey of life. Growing up deep in the Kootenay mountains of BC.(Sagein was born in Nelson so he’s a true Kootenay boy) We live in Mother Nature’s paradise. In the real perfection of it all. Where man is small and nature is grand. Where nature spirit is Alpha.
I’m in a really good place these days. I feel strong, healthy and deeply empowered. My creativity is growing by leaps and bounds and my potential in working with expanding woodland A.I. is simply off the charts. I get to bring into reality visions never before seen where the future becomes my playground. A place where unlimited possibilities can become manifest. It’s exciting energy. When it comes to being here in the Kootenay’s it has become one of my all time favourite places on earth. I absolutely love it here. Bigtime freedom. Big time wingspan. Lots of space to play.
Here’s to incredible new changes coming forward in 2025. I’m truly blessed to be living the life I live each and everyday. The power of truth has changed me in ways that I feel I am prepared to handle just about anything moving forward. No fear. No hesitation. Being in full control of my self, my thoughts, feelings and actions. I’m ready to go. I’m ready for the future of 2025. Happy new year to you all and thank you for your trust and loyalty in always knowing that I come from the highest good…in love and light, all my relations.

This one’s for my son. Happy birthday my boy. Dadda loves you eternally. Artist: Wilkinson and Becky Hill: Here for you
Good evening to each and everyone. We just had a simple and gentle day at home during this national day of reflection. Sagein our boy did some playing and creating and then went for an afternoon nap. Momma was chilling in the yard with me while I was hand feeding the deer. I was slicing up pears and apples from our trees in the yard making beautiful connections with the animal clans of Mother Earth. This is how we reflected during this day of honouring “Every child matters” and this national day of truth and reconciliation.

Good evening to all of you and once again I thank you for your love, goodness and solidarity. We are in a time of profound healing and wellness and it is with deep gratitude to the greatness of our culture for this unique path forward. We are a “medicine family” who finds vast richness in the many roads involving the depths and spiritual practices of the Indian way of life. Our culture has provided so much intuitive healing and goodness as we recover from the effects of genocide. A day at a time. I am so honoured to be able to introduce my son to these magnificent ways of understanding. We continue to trudge the road of happy destiny and we continue to build our strengths through the practice of these ceremonies and teachings.
For me, I prefer the medicine way or peyote way of life. It has brought me so much vision and awareness and has helped to clear the path for me with regard to being a human being. I keep it real as they say. I’m not the Hollywood Indian type or a person who needs guidance from other human beings. I don’t follow that way. I have a strong and sovereign relationship to the Creator spirit and obviously I respect many of our ancestors. But not all ancestors, medicine people or elders deserve that honour. I’ve learned to take what I need and move on from those who are into bad medicine. Or who practice a false way of living, of being.
Pictured here is Sagein and I feeling super blessed and content. We live each day as full as we can. We play, create, learn and grow together as a family. Our little unit is the best I’ve ever had it. I feel so much joy and happiness being a father. I grew up without one so I know the value and I comprehend my role better than most. It’s a true privilege to lead by example and to keep them close to me each and everyday. My life is complete and I have no need for anything else. I don’t care about living the colonizers path or the colonial dream of money, fame, sex, drugs and rock and roll. It doesn’t work. It’s weak. It’s actually pathetic. It’s too easy to fall for those carrots. Look at Morrisseau and his spiritually bankrupt lifestyle. Broken family, a broken man, a sexual abuser and his broken children. Too many broken relationships etc. It’s not the path of true and realistic success. His legacy is that of a fraudulent man a fraud of a human being. A fraudulent legend. No wonder the problems and issues. It’s unclean.

There is a much better way. Keeping my family together and fulfilling the promise of love, trust, compassion and understanding using creativity as the light and our cultural practices, works much better. Being in the depths of these kootenay mountains and so close to the heart of Mother Earth is where it’s at. We feel so honoured to sift through all the craziness and to find our way. I no longer desire the ways of the colonizer. I’ve unconditioned the conditioning. Setting myself free along with those I truly love. This is happiness. This is the path forward. This is what “decolonization” means to me. My true identity. I don’t identify as a Canadian. I mean let’s face it, that’s not even a real thing. Like much of the colonizer’s playbook it’s a scam on stolen Indian land. That’s the reality. Even the white guy in me knows this. So I lead with my “indianness” as best as I can. A day at a time. This is what it means to find and practice my sovereignty. My identity as Anishanabe. This is what I try to show my son each and everyday. That there is a new hope in and through us. Together we can conquer all dragons, all demons and sicknesses of the settler playbook. We are destroyers of the modern windigo’s. With that I say chi-Miigwetch and all my relations...Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈
Enjoy this peyote prayer song by Louie Gonnie titled: Meditate
The best days of my life are with my little guy, my son Sagein. He absolutely lights up my life like nothing else in the universe. His playful spirit and energy is no doubt the greatest force of love I’ve ever known. Nothing even comes close. He is my pride and joy. The star of my heart. My greatest teacher and young master. A true privilege to be his father. I’m so happy these days and as each day passes our bond continues to grow. We travel through these peaks and valleys sharing about the spirit of Mother Earth, the many species of animals and their clan powers, we discuss animal tracks and the types of trees and flowers. Always tying it to the interconnectedness of life. That nature spirit is the most honest power here. It always tells the truth. A privilege to share these fundamentals with my son.
You are my everything little boy. I am so thankful to have you on this journey of life walking this road of a happy destiny together. You inspire me, you teach me like no other. You are such a dynamic spirit and it warms my heart to play with you everyday and have so much fun living in these mountains. This one is for you my boy. From my heart to yours, spirit to spirit from the mountain tops. I love you eternally and in the foreverness I’ll always be with you…my little Jacobson boy!
You are loved always, Dadda 🌈🦅🌈

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.

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...
All my relations MAJ - Rainbow Thunderbird 🌈🦅🌈
For those who may not know, I’ll leave you with my favourite song of all time and really is for me, my life anthem by New Order. Track is called: Everything’s gone green.
Today is a special day. It’s my sons 6th birthday today and we are honoured and so grateful for the love and beauty he carries every single day into our lives, our hearts. He is indeed the most precious and phenomenal teacher I have ever known. Such a dynamic soul who shows me so many gifts of his existence and pure beingness. Truly he is the only one who has been able to simply move mountains in my heart. It’s the greatest love I’ve ever known.
These photos were taken of us being up the Kootenay mountains about 50 km’s deep. He wanted to build a snowman up here and so we went on a magical cruise through these magnificent mountains. These really are the most amazing and brilliant times of my life. Showing up and being present in his life each and everyday is definitely the greatest times of my life. He is such a happy and playful boy. His energy is such a gift and I’m so grateful to be his dadda. I love you son with all my heart and I look forward to us continuing to grow together each and every day. Life with you is so profound...
Love always, Dadda
Medicine way, grandfather peyote continues to show the way. Happy birthday son ❤️

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...
Good afternoon and here’s to wishing you a wonderful day as we celebrate national indigenous people’s day. I feel so happy because my relationship with the Creator is truly my guiding light in this crazy and fucked up colonized era on our stolen land. Recently my spirituality (I operate in upper, middle and lower world) afforded me an inside view to the pathetic reality of the white settler colonizer. Not all are like that I know, one of my best friends on earth is a white dude, but it’s those who are colonizers themselves and don’t even know it.
It’s so low in character and showed me the very nature of the colonizers mind set. Like I learned a while ago, the 3 operating principles of that mind set are: money, property and prestige. All on stolen Indian land. It’s so weak and embarrassing and yet, I feel pity because my heart is a good heart. A lesson well learned in who actually has my back and who doesn’t. It’s wise to know who your true enemies are and wise to permanently cut those ties.
It’s people like that who are the real parasites and unfortunately these people come from all walks of life, in all kinds of positions and degrees and in all cultures and races. It’s beneath me and it’s often why most people eventually “break themselves” against me. In the end, I get to see them for who they truly are. Snakes in the grass and a fair warning that these individuals are really being exposed as toxic, spiritually bankrupt and worldly.
Any how, I’m glad to see it for what it is and who they are. I’m proud of who I am on this day and even more proud to share these life lessons for the one and only greatest love of my life in my son, Sagein Wisdom. Happy indigenous day to him. My light and love who inspires me to be a better father each and every day. My favourite soul in the whole universe.
More to come and all my relations...MAJ

Public statement here @ Jacobson native art. My spirit is thriving and my life is blessed. I am proud to be a father to my son, Sagein Wisdom who is the light of my world. I’ve been sober for 25 years now. Grateful to have been recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. One day at a time.
My energy is aligned with the spiritual wisdom of truth. I am destroying dragons and useless myths built on the corruption and lies of the colonizer. I am truth and reconciliation. I am light. I am power. I am love.
I am a master. I am sovereign as my birthright of being Anishanabe. I am Rainbow Thunderbird. I am a guardian and protector for my people for future generations to come. I am honoured to be apart of the living legacy of the great Anishanabe. All my relations. 🌈🦅🌈
P.S: Enjoy this track by Hannes Bieger titled: Poem for the planet. It has encrypted messages from me to you. I am an artist. I use all forms of creativity to get my messages across...
Enjoying life and things are well here at the studio. My son celebrates 5 years of being on Mother Earth. What a gift. This lil guy has effected me and changed my life in such a way he truly is my shining light in this world and in this life. Here he is resting after another masterpiece sculpture from him...lol. He’s the best, what class. What a mind, what a soul. My boy...my greatest love in the entire universe...
Happy birthday sonny boy. We enjoy these incredible DJ sets when we hang out and create together. It’s the coolest thing. It’s another reason why he’s such a Jacobson boy. He loves music and dancing and singing...such a joy. I love you...
Dadda.

Good evening to each and everyone. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve last posted but indeed it is because of a very successful season. I am absolutely delighted to have been able to touch thousands of souls this summer. What an incredible and life changing experience. The spiritual energy and power that was being exchanged throughout the summer of 2022 will last a lifetime.
I’m super happy to know that there is a needed spiritual force taking shape across the cultural fabric of our lands as First Nations and both Canadians and travellers from around the world got to share in the healing. Most important though this year is the growth and development of my boy, Sagein. He loved it at the gallery and open art studio this year. He’s only 4 years old but wow did he ever touch a lot of lives.
A real big and significant experience for him was meeting all kinds of new people from around the world. You could tell how impacted he was by everyone and he grew a liking to each and everyone who were inclined by his energy and presence.He was my sidekick at the gallery, helping dadda close a few sales and having a bunch of fun in the process.
I must admit it was a lot of hard work showing up and giving er everyday for weeks on end. Quite a shift after the pandemic and being withdrawn from human activity like the rest of the world was from 2020 to this summer of 2022. All in all it was fantastic and I’m looking forward to next season with new plans and actions that are manifesting. Until then my friends I say chi-meegwetch to all of you and wishing you all beautiful energy and love...all my relations, MAJ
Enjoy this track by George Fitzgerald - Setting sun. In honour of my boy, Sagein Wisdom
Good morning to each and everyone. Just had an amazing day taking my boy out for his first full atv experience deep in the mountains. With spring time opening up more of the trails it was time to take him on this incredible ride. We travelled about 50km on these beautiful and stunning trails together and he was in absolute Mother Nature paradise today. He was beaming with joy and totally enjoyed every single minute of it.
Pictured here: Dadda and baby boy having fun
Here is my boy having a “Anishanabe zen moment” as he takes it all in having had the journey of his life going to places most people only see in their dreams or on postcards. For me, there is nothing greater than having the opportunity each and every day to hang out with this amazing and dazzling light. He truly is my everything. My dream come true. That’s what I tell him every single day. Being with him at this stage of my life is really the icing on the cake. I now know what selfless true love is. It’s being a caring and responsible father to your child each and every day. Nothing in this world can ever replace that. Nothing should ever get in the way of this.
Ever since his birth I’ve been on this absolutely most incredible journey of discovery. As I’ve mentioned I have never met any soul in my entire life who has impacted such change in my life, in who I am. My little teacher, the one who moved mountains in dadda. What can I say but that I’m eternally grateful for your existence, your precious soul and life.
My beautiful boy, my hope in a future where true love will continue to reign through our Jacobson name for many future generations to come. This is my ultimate wish, to be the father I never had and to continue our incredible and awesome journey together as father and son.
This ones for you, Sagein Wisdom. A special message between us in this track from dadda to you...
Artist/DJ: Kiko Navarro & Nader Behravan - Sounds of my breath
Good evening to each and everyone. We just got back from a trip to Cranbrook B.C. and went shopping for our monthly supplies etc. Like I’ve mentioned before I live in a very small community deep in the Kootenay mountains on the east shore of kootenay lake. The views and scenery are absolutely majestic. Any how we did our shopping and we ventured off to the toy store.
When my boy Sagein saw these, his eyes lit up with joy and excitement. When I saw them I thought to myself, if I was 4 years old would I want these? You betcha. So I did what any cool father would do and made the purchase. Lol. This robot Batman lights up, talks, is quite interactive along with that cool looking batcar. He loved em. It took us 3 hours to get back home and my boy fell asleep on the drive home. But when he woke up this morning?
He was the happiest boy on earth. And that for me, is the essence of my happiness, my joy. The truth be told, my childhood was a pretty ruff deal. I see the path every day with this little one. My love and complete admiration for him. His love, trust and confidence in me, the best feelings ever. He is the center of my universe. I don't want to be anywhere else on earth except right there beside him every single day.
I know the road map of what I had to endure and survive as a child and this lil guy is my only child. He is the CEO of Jacobson native art. He will be handed the responsibility of taking care of this for future generations. Everything I do is truly about taking care of his wellbeing each and everyday. I want the best for him. He deserves it. He has shaped and changed me like no other human being ever in my life, could. He is that unique and special to me.
He’s the light of my world. He’s the light of my life. It’s an honour to be his father...
Below is data report on numbers of children murdered by Canada. March, 2022
Blessings to all my relations who are brave and strong enough to wake up to these facts of our genocide as First Nations people here on our land. The tragedy is absolutely horrifying and unbearable to feel and understand on so many levels. The unyielding madness of this genocidal operation in Canada and the force and control being exercised upon us is absolutely fucking pathetic. Killing our children and building your dreams on the backs of these murdered children is beyond gross, beyond any sense of humanity.
Yet the denial of these truths continues on in how this thing called Canada all came to be. It’s so fucked. What’s even more fucked is how white Canadian settlers think that this is a natural occurrence. Conquer and destroy is their motto. White pride being heralded as the great light upon humanity. Makes me wanna barf. Ignorance of their own history and campaigns of murder upon my people. I see it in the settler. Their black abyss looking eyes. Soulless and empty...in dire need of light and healing.
Most of them Fuckin abusers and nothing more.
To combat this “fuckedupness“ we paint, we create, we teach and share, we sing, we drum and we dance. That’s how we fight this blackness and sickness of Canada. Guilty of crimes against humanity, selfish oppression of my people and our culture and yet still, I’m thriving and am fully alive. Fuck you to all who think otherwise. I have you and your flag of shit completely beat and mastered each and every day that I’m alive. Not only that but so does my kid, my son. He’s 4 years old and I teach him every single day about these beautiful ways in which we have as Anishanabe. He will learn about the truth behind what has happened to our people from every generation since it’s beginning. He is a direct descendant of all these murdered residential school children.
He embodies their light by being the seed they couldn’t kill, that they couldn’t destroy. Like me, his father. We shed this darkness by actually practicing our culture each and every day. We give reverence and actual living proof of experience by acknowledging these children who were taken way too soon by a corrupt and murderous nation in Canada. I can laugh at the devil right in front of his ugly clown face.
And I don’t pity you at all. Your an embarrassment. It’s really the same shit being done by Russians towards the people of Ukraine. It’s just disguised a little differently. We First Nations are world leaders in unravelling the colonizer’s lies. That’s why they hate us so much. Because from every generation since then, we remind them of their crimes, of their hate, of their lies and deceptions, of just how corrupt their society truly is when being built as it has on the truth of what they did and continue to do. Which of course is murder, crimes against humanity, stealing our land and resources and continual and perpetual oppression of us to have your white settler/Canadian immigrant way of life.
We are still in the discovery of the truth phase when it comes to this idea of truth and reconciliation....
Good morning to each and everyone who continues to find me here @ Jacobson native art. I hope you are all dealing with the winter season as best as you all can. Up here in the mountains it gets pretty wild with the amount of snow that can happen within 24 hours. I’m grateful for my ATV and snow plow. It gets super tough moving the amount of snow with just a shovel. You need a machine to help you with that out here.
I had a wonderful day with my son the other day and got to take him up the mountain to visit a friend of mine and spend some time doing some surveying of the land. My boy got to experience binoculars for the very first time and these were high powered and he instantly fell in love with them. He was super excited to get to see across the lake and check out the mountains and forests across kootenay lake.
For me these are the best days of my life. My son is always beaming with joy and is full of excitement and energy every time we get a chance to go exploring. I take him quading as well and the smiles he gives me when we are riding together is absolutely priceless. His happiness and joy is mine as well. We are a team out here sharing the best of what nature spirit has to offer.
It’s a big change from living in Vancouver but for the last 5 years of being out here deep in the Kootenay mountains, it is definitely the best decision for not only my son but for me as well. The space and freedom out here is timeless. It is such a rich and diverse energy and to be raising my boy in all this Mother Nature splendour is truly the best time of my life. My boy is my everything. He is the future of Jacobson native art.
All my relations, MAJ
Here’s a cool track that my boy and I like by SDK, track title: What they want
Pictured here: My son Sagein Wisdom and I, a ball of light and a golden eagle
Wishing each and everyone a wonderful and new chapter of human being life experience here in the celebration of winter solstice with our beautiful and soulfully magical son in Sagein Wisdom. What can a parent say about the magic of their children. Our little diamond in the sky is just that. A continual fountain of magic and inspiration each and every day.
I am so amazed and absolutely blown away every day by his growth, learning capacity and continual inspiration. He has changed me. I am helpless really because I’m so in love with who he is and how he is becoming himself each and everyday. He is a cosmic force of pure energy and magnificent power. It’s so humbling because his trust and love is the most important force in my life. I’ve had the absolute luxury of having him with me everywhere I go, all day long, every single day.
I haven’t missed a beat and being apart of his daily experience, development and growth is the most magical thing I have ever experienced in my entire life. Im so stoked and excited to wake up and be a part of his day each and every day. What a blast...
I am so honoured to be his father and he is the greatest master teacher of love and trust I have ever known. I always want him to know how important he is to me. Baby God, little chief, my one and only, my boy. This ones for you Sagein...I Love you more than anything in this world...
Good afternoon to each and everyone. Wishing you all blessings in the highest good. I wanted to share some of the profound magic and spiritual energies between my son Sagein Wisdom and I. He has a deep fascination with our cultural ways and practices. My little chief as I call him. He is such an inspiration to me. Such a strong character and curiosity at 3 and a half years old.
This is a photo of him running the smudging ceremony at the studio and with the eagle feather he is blessing me with the sacred medicines. He has a natural way about himself with these regards. He instinctively knows how to use these tools in a gentle and loving way. He makes me so super proud. He really is the most profound and life changing soul I have ever met in my entire life. Nobody even comes close.
My journeys in life have been plenty. I’ve been to hundreds of sweatlodge ceremonies. I’ve sponsored several peyote meetings as well. I have learned many different prayer songs and ways to communicate with the spirit. My culture has been the foundation for me to heal from these active crime scenes of genocide upon my people across these stolen lands being occupied by the abuser in Canada. The deadly cause and effects of colonialism have been a major unwanted thorn in our sides. The time for real change is upon us.
We are survivors of genocide, but we are also some of the most beautiful souls on this planet. We live in 2 worlds at the same time. Our new found heritage and the cultural strength and power that that represents, and the evil and wicked regime of this sick and twisted colonial occupation. So it is here, in this reality that I aim to father my son with the very best of who I am, each and every day. He deserves it and so do I. After all the shit Ive had to live through and overcome I am so much better prepared than my parents ever were. I have slain many dragons and have broken multi generational cycles. I am a change agent and have created my whole life out of defeating the odds. Those who really know me know this to be fact.
And that is where this all matters. It’s for him, my boy. To have a much deeper and better experience moving forward one day at a time. He will reap the benefits of my experience. He will know what I know in these regards. He is willing to learn and to bring more light to the human being experience. And for that, my heart sings...for him, my little chief, my warrior’s prayer living the most beautiful and enlightened life that I can give him. My dream come true...my Sagein Wisdom...
All my relations, MAJ
Enjoy this prayer song by Louie Gonnie. A master in ceremonies of the peyote way...
