Fuck you to the entire legacy of Norval Morrisseau....and that pathetic estate

Photo sourced from Michelle Vadas, given to JZ and me in Nanaimo BC photo is of Gabe Vadas painting Morrisseau’s

 Everything around Norval Morrisseau and his fucked up and pathetic legacy of lies will be exposed. It’s a national travesty for not only Canadians and their investment in Morrisseau but more importantly for our First Nations youth, artists and the very fabric of our culture. It’s absolutely abhorrent and I’ve never felt so disgusted as a woodland school artist. 

Above video of Gabe Vadas stating: It’s all mine....greedy Gabe, says. 

White colonizers like Gabe Vadas and his filthy fuckin lies are going to be brought to light now. This guy has to be one of the worst examples around our woodland school. A painter for Morrisseau along with his wife in michelle, he has a lot to answer for. Let’s get into the truth:

1: Gabe Vadas was a street hooker when he met Morrisseau. A down and out drug addict who sold himself and his services on the street, on the downtown east side of Vancouver. That’s the truth. 

2: Gabe Vadas was never Norval Morrisseau’s “Adopted son”. He was Morrisseau’s sexual boy toy. Think about that narrative they’ve been dishing out to the public for years. Adopted son? No, he was Norvals slut who eventually graduated to become Morrisseaus part time lover then his pimp. Not his adopted daddy. Why would an adopted father have sex with his adopted son?....Right.

3: It’s all a lie. Designed to trick everybody and create this false narrative that’s been propped up and held onto by Canadian art institutions, the government of Canada, native art galleries, collectors, educators and the estate of Norval Morrisseau. It’s all a scam because underneath this massive pile of bullshit is the reality, the truth, the secrets. 

4: Why is it that Norval Morrisseau became such good friends with Gary Lamont? A now convicted sexual rapist and predator? I know why. Not only was it for the drugs, but Gary himself used to say how he was Norvals pimp. He wanted to be like Norval, a sex shaman. So he procured young sexual gay lovers for Norval Morrisseau. 

5: It’s true what I say. These are the facts and truths I learned in Indian country while I lived in Thunder Bay. These are our hidden stories. These hidden secrets of utter disgust, shame and sexual filth. Norval Morrisseau had a dirty history of taking advantage of the weak, the lost, the broken. This is fact. This is the reality. He’s had his white handlers and enablers protect and cover for him his whole fuckin life. 

6: Gabe Vadas is a broken and sick white settler who lied his way to the top of the Morrisseau food chain. He is severely mentally unstable. A shadow of a man hiding in his secrets, his lies. That is why his whole fuckin family is broken, suffering. Why he can’t perform any of the duties of this fucked up and broken estate. There is an old saying in AA that your only as sick as your secrets. 

7: Gabe Vadas should count his fuckin blessings that I’m sober. He’s nothing. Just a small and weak piece of shit liar. Back in my old days, this guy wouldn’t last a day in my old world. He’d be eaten up and spit out. Feel free to confront me any fuckin time, bitch. Same goes for you Cory Dinky....I mean Dingle. Fuck you too. Your nothing in my world as well. Your just a lying sack of shit. Trying to deny your boss in Gabe Vadas as a painter for Morrisseau. It was michelle Vadas herself who gave me and JZ that photograph. You fuckin dirt bag. 

8: Special message for Cory Dingle: Fuckin try me? You say your going to run right over me? Why don’t you make a trip here to the Kootenay mountains and fuckin try me? Come and see me tough guy? You fuckin bitch monkey. I’ll take you up the mountain, you and me, we’ll go for a little trip. Anytime, bitch. Also you fuckin nut job, stop trying to sound like Norval in your talk. It’s you little pukes who are the psychic leeches. Tryin to spew off Norval Morrisseau “one liners’. 

9: The truth is that Norval Morrisseau was a deviant sexual predator. This is why I have turned my back on this total pile of shit legacy. Norval was an abuser. A sexual abuser. A fuckin scumbag abuser. This is the truth. This is the reality behind the false narrative of  the grand shaman Morrisseau. First of all, we don’t have grand shamans in our culture or stories. Any good indian knows that in nature, there is nothing really grand about the human being or his spiritual understandings that make him or her...”Grand’. That’s white settler mentality. Not the indian mind set. It’s a scam, a false myth perpetrated by you guessed it, the white man. He tends to think like that. 

10: More truth is coming concerning this sexual abuse by Norval Morrisseau. Mark my fuckin words. I’ve had to dig really fuckin deep with this. I wouldn’t say these things if I couldn’t back them up. That is where the power is. It’s in the truth of these discoveries. It all made sense to me when this information came forward recently. It’s devastating. I feel devastated. I feel so betrayed. I feel lied to. I feel absolutely disrespected. And this is the reason why I’ll never honour this mans art or legacy ever again. He is finished. Even in the afterlife, I’m coming for you. You filthy piece of shit...

As hard and ugly and difficult as this is, it has to be brought to light. All of it. It must be exposed. Historic sexual abuse and sex crimes are still sex crimes. Even after death. The recent Netflix documentary on exposing the historic sex crimes of Jimmy Seville is a powerful example of these truths to come. I recently saw this film and was absolutely blown away. The comparisons are very bizarre and this film truly “spoke to me”. It helped me to open this door. This door will be opened. Regardless of what any white settler either thinks or wants to hide...this truth will be exposed. 

This will be the final chapter in my investigations into the art, man, soul and legacy of the disgraced Norval Morrisseau...one of the biggest letdowns of my entire life. More to come....all my relations, MAJ

Exposing the current corruption and lies of the estate of Norval Morrisseau

I thought this time the estate could be fixed. I thought this time that there was a real chance at healing the lies and deceptions that have plagued the legacy of Norval Morrisseau. I was fuckin wrong. I am literally heartbroken by this. The new CEO of the estate of Norval Morrisseau was a supposedly old friend named Cory Dingle. (Pictured above in the glasses) I had a couple of challenging experiences with the fella previously but thought that this could all be worked out. Not.

This photo of Cory Dingle and his culturally appropriating buddy in james McCue (pure white guy doing native art) link:  https://www.jamesmccue.com/ had visited me here at my old studio in Vancouver back in 2016. I tried being friends with these 2 back then but they became offensive with their white privileged bullshit. I should have never tried to help McCue sell his culturally appropriated art. That was wrong of me. I should have never supported this in the first place. 

I feel so betrayed by this weekend. I actually tried to be open hearted and welcoming but again, the lies. You see, people only usually lie when they got something to hide. And trust me, after this weekend and trying to make a go of this, Cory Dingle tried to deny the truth of this second photo of Gabe Vadas painting Norval Morrisseau art. 

This photo was given to both John Zemanovich and me by Gabes own wife, in michelle Vadas. She wanted the truth to come out, but Gabe made sure to cut off all ties with JZ and I. That was over a decade ago. And still, the estate is fucked up with these lies and continual deceptions. They have time after time tried to control this narrative because they didn’t want this truth to come out. 

I exposed this. I have put this photo out to share with the world that indeed, this estate is corrupt. It is fucked up and can never be trusted. Not at this point. And I’ve been actively involved as an independent investigator for over 17 years now, since I first met them and Norval in 2005. Asked to protect his legacy and from this point forward, never again. Norval Morrisseau art is so washed up on fakes, lies, corruption and filth that’s it’s not worth it to buy Norval Morrisseau art. My advice? 

Run for the fuckin hills. Go buy other native art from living artists. They need it more than white people trying to make a buck off this whole mess. Morrisseau’s legacy will remain fucked for many more years to come. It’s a cesspool of garbage. That’s my conclusion after all these years of trying to help. What a fuckin complete waste of my time. Of my life. I feel so ashamed about this.  

Here is this photo Cory Dingle tried to deceive me by saying this isn’t Norval Morrisseau art that gabe is working on....Right. How fuckin stupid do you think I am? Mr. CEO of the estate? Right. You are an unbelievable sack of shit for trying to lie to me about this. You showed me your hand, your cards. You are willing to do whatever it takes to spin this reality into something else. Not on my watch. I caught you this weekend trying to lie and manipulate me. But I caught you....that’s why you are back peddling now. You are Gabes new henchman. That’s it. It’s still the same sick and mentally ill situation over there. 

Recently I found out about a whole bunch of new information which I’ll be sharing over the next while. You have to realize that the consciousness of the cultural fabric of this country is changing. Indigenous peoples across our stolen lands are waking the fuck up. They as well as myself are sick and tired of having white people control our spaces, stories and narrative. These residential school children being discovered across our lands are giving light to this reality. White settlers are learning quickly that our stories are our stories. They don’t belong to you. They belong to us. And let’s face it, the art and legacy of Norval Morrisseau belongs to his people. It belongs to us. 

We are the culture creators, we are the true legacy of the great Anishanabe. This is our lense. These are our teachings. Yet still? These settlers think it’s all about them. That they are the culture guardians and that they are the gatekeepers of our history and our stories. How wrong this is on so many levels. It’s frightening. It’s perverse when you boil all the shit off and see it as it truly is. This is what happened this weekend. I tried to be open, I tried to give this another chance. But those like Gabe Vadas and Cory Dingle  have shown their hand and have played their cards. Now? I see you for who you really are. Fuckin filthy liars....

Stay tuned, more to come...all my relations....MAJ
