On this day of national truth and reconciliation it is an honour to expose the reality of Norval Morrisseau being a sexual abuser

 To set the record straight for future generations….

Good afternoon to each and everyone and welcome to another article here at Jacobson native art on national truth and reconciliation day. In sharing the truth around my new case regarding suing the estate of Norval Morrisseau I feel really good about where I’m at. Last week I went through a 7 hour grilling by their lawyer in Jason Gratl, someone I’ve come to truly feel sorry for. It is absolutely bizarre how this colonial system operates on stolen Indian lands. Having a white colonizer who represents the estate who obviously wasn’t there when the sexual assault took place in 2006 felt super gross and ugly. Trying to explain my self and in what happened to me and in those events to someone who wasn’t even there feels really weird. It’s obvious to me these people are not our allies regarding truth and reconciliation.

To see how these colonizers operate on our lands is truly mystifying. It’s scary to see how they make their money and provide for their children. Trying to make me look bad or to even suggest that I don’t make sense. It’s disgusting. They tried using my past against me, my mental health struggles, my trauma. It’s a super gross energy but I made a commitment to myself that I would stand up and do the right thing. To bring attention to these facts and discoveries of Norval Morrisseau being a sexual abuser of young children, young boys and young men. I will not give in to their fake claims and accusations against me. I am a true survivor of the 60’s scoop and I am a survivor of a sexual assault that happened to me. As gross and as embarrassing as that is. Having both Norval and his pimp in Gabe Vadas doing what they did. They should have never crossed that line with me. 

As for the dysfunctional ceo of the estate in ding dong Dingle making his false claims about me wanting to be a gatekeeper and that I asked for permission to be the new spiritual leader of the woodland school taking over for Morrisseau? 

Holy fuck….lol. 

What a joke. You know nothing about our culture and I would never need to go to a white man and ask permission regardless. The truth is I’ve never asked such a stupid request. The estate needs to get this through their thick fuckin skulls. I don’t respect or honour the legacy of a child sex abuser. I don’t see myself as a lesser artist than Morrisseau. I’m a better artist and I’m a much better human being. I’m a much better father as well. So I don’t think they have the ability to see that. They are still razzled and dazzled by the legacy of a child sex abuser. That’s the reality here. It’s not about our culture for them, how could it be? Dingle doesn’t even know the protocol about how we Indians get our spirit names…lol. Idiot. Any how I feel good about where I stand and I’m looking forward to having my day in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. I have to continue moving forward even under such pressure and difficulty regarding taking my claim through the colonial court system. I believe that the Supreme Court will be open to hearing my story, my truth. 

On that note here is a recent article from CTV news about answering the false information in the estates recent affidavit. I look forward to more being revealed. Miigwetch. Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

On this day of National truth and reconciliation, our family rests gently with kindness and love @ Jacobson native art

 

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.

Miigwetch for all the love and support and enjoy this lullaby peyote song for the children by Delbert Blackhorse. This one is for our boy as he rests in love...

Celebrating my birthday today and some recent success @ Jacobson native art

 

Good afternoon to each and everyone. Thank you for all the recent support and love over these last few months. The journey has been eye opening for many and the truth of what I’ve been investigating concerning the historic sex crimes of Morrisseau and those around his legacy has been permanently transformational. There is no going back to pretend land. Holding up sexual abusers as cultural icons and hero’s is over. It’s done. It’s finished. The delusion has been smashed. Now it’s in the hands of time. I’ll have more to say around these revelations but today is my birthday so let’s explore some good that I’m grateful to be apart of.

The above image is a screenshot from quilts for survivors which last week broke over 50K in likes, loves and support. It makes me feel very proud that my art can be used in such a healing and comforting process. I’m a 60’s scoop survivor myself and many in my indigenous family bloodlines are survivors of residential schools. So with my fabric line called: Healing waters, to see the positive effects being shared for these kinds of initiatives warms my heart and soul. It’s the whole reason why I decided to work with northcott fabrics. To let people from all walks of life have the opportunity to work with my designs. 

This second image here is a sneak peek of my second Fabric line coming out in 2024 titled: Sacred Earth. This will also be a major success as the results from Healing waters was incredible. I aim to be very selective in how my work is both shared and represented. I’m not a big fan of whoring out my life’s work to greedy and selfish organizations or corporations that have nothing to do with really supporting us First Nations. It’s weak to do that and embarrassing really. I pride myself on being hard to find and hard to get. I prefer small limited edition runs and exclusive collections. It’s not about being famous and in everyone’s homes or businesses etc. Same can be said of the institutions. I don’t care about that. 

I recently have partnered with a friend to handle my printing, my clothing line and other publishing goals regarding new exclusive designs and products. It’s exciting because first of all, he’s a genuine friend, a new found brother in life. I trust him, he trusts me. We are upfront and honest about everything. No secrets, no hidden agendas and no bullshit. I run my legacy and thank goodness it’s not in the hands of others who are non native. This is absolutely 100% an Anishanabe run business and artistic legacy. We Indians here @ Jacobson native art control our spaces, our voice, our platform. It’s authentic in every possible manner and should be this way for any others out there. This is how reconciliation moves forward for us. Support from our non indigenous friends and ally’s should understand that. To be authentically First Nations? It should be run by First Nations. Plain and simple as that. 

Any how I am having a fantastic day and it’s a beautiful birthday hanging out with my family and my little boy who is the greatest birthday gift a father could ever have. With all the best love I could ever receive I’m happy that life is moving forward one day at a time. The joy of living and the spiritual power of multiple awakenings and transformations has me continually seeking the will of the Great Spirit each and every day. Chi-miigwetch and all my relations, MAJ

Enjoy this newly discovered track which truly resonates for me about the power of truth and transformation. It’s by Robert Babicz titled: Human forest. It’s simply magnificent 😎
