In dealing with this whole Morrisseau fiasco, this is what it looks like from my indigenous point of view…2026

 

Woodland A.I. Title: Future warrior, defender, protector. 2026

Good evening to many of you out there who have continued to stand in truth and solidarity with me over the last few years. It has been an overwhelming undertaking on so many levels. I only ever wanted to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Not easy when you have to face so many liars and bullshitters. Take for example dealing with the estate of Norval Morrisseau and their goof lawyer in Jason Gratl. That was disgusting. Imagine dealing with white settlers in ding dong Dingle and Gratl. 2 white colonizers who were never there when both Gabe Vadas and the old pedophile in Norval Morrisseau sexually abused me in 2006. Think about how gross that is? They weren’t even there and didn’t see it. Yet after I had chosen to settle with them because they offered it, I thought because I was down to $1200 bucks, that it was the right thing to do because I had to make a choice, feed the shitty lawyer I had or feed my 8 year old son who suffers with a disability. Dingle tries to paint himself as someone who is defending the legacy of Norval Morrisseau, when in reality he’s only defending his financial investments in Morrisseau paintings. He absolutely disgusts me. Same with that lawyer, being berated by him for 8 hours while my so-called lawyer told me he was going to mute much of that cross examination because he was doing other lawyer work when this interview was happening. He only stepped in a couple times but when I called Gratl a fucking bullshitting colonizer, he actually stepped in to defend Gratl. Imagine that? 

Then he tells me that I spoke too long and that I should’ve shut up and not got into these long conversations. Maybe he should have advised me better like telling me right from the beginning of hiring him that he had already had a relationship with the estate, but he never mentioned a thing to me about it. That right there was a conflict of interest and I was never told of this. That was a case for dismissal right then and there. The trust factor was already destroyed before I even got started. That was a major red flag for me regarding the legal process of trying to tell my story. The trust. It’s really hard for me as a First Nations person trying to put trust into this very system that has had an agenda of trying to wipe me off the face of the earth. Colonization does a lot of harm that white privilege doesn’t even see. So there’s that. 

I have several emails of trying to educate people like Elon musk, Nasa and Samuel peralta of the lunar codex program when they sent the art of the pedophile sex abuser to the moon. I did what I could as someone with a permanent disability who’s been in recovery for the last 28 years of my life, sober. I tried but in reality, they simply didn’t want to hear the truth. That is the power of colonialism. The denial, the treating of me like I was a nobody. That I didn’t matter because the sex abuser in Morrisseau was of more fame and importance. Because white people said so. That is how I perceived that. It felt super discouraging and disgusting to tell you the truth. Sometimes I wish that I should’ve just kept my mouth shut about it all. Let the trust of the Canadian public continue to be deceived. I mean, who’s gonna care now right? Nobody.

When I started becoming public about all this in 2023, it was difficult because I sensed that I would have to be defending myself, my truth and my story. It’s not easy speaking up against a tidal wave of deceptions. I’m trying to heal from the pain and suffering of being a 60’s scoop survivor but when the Morrisseau estate did a truth and reconciliation art show with the united church of Canada? That’s when I truly knew that I had to keep on fighting for this truth to be heard. Imagine that? Ding dong dingle who knows absolutely nothing about those personal experiences is taking remnants of my culture and lying to the church about Morrisseau and his sex crimes because he thinks it’s about truth and reconciliation lying to the church. Who as you know, we’re guilty in the rapes and murders of tens of thousands of little indigenous children being stripped of their indigenous cultures and their very lives. That is not an easy thing to face and swallow. It’s absolutely disgusting. It still grosses me out about sending the pedophile to the moon. People like Cory dingle, Samuel peralta and the estate need to be held accountable. Fuck, I can’t do it all. It’s just too overwhelming for one person trying to educate the art world about all of this. I really need help and support. It’s just such a heavy burden to carry and here’s the kicker? These are not my crimes. I didn’t do anything wrong. I am only being straight up and honest yet the weight is unbearable most days.

It has affected me in so many ways. It’s a fuckin miracle that I haven’t picked up a drink. I feel depressed and burdened most days. I struggle with consistency in creating my art. I mean, I had to invent a whole new artistic genre in woodland a.i. just to step away from the confines of the woodland art form itself. Does anybody realize how hard that is to do in the 21st century? It’s not easy but I did. It has helped me to heal but I still have to go the entire distance. The trust of the First Nations and Canadian public deserves to learn and know the truth. I have a right to function in it as safe as possible (my culture) and right now, that is simply not the case. The greed of white settler colonialism is trying everything in its power to not only discredit me, but to destroy my well-being and safety as an indigenous artist. This art form has done a lot of good for me and countless other artists as well. But hiding this history of Norval Morrisseau is wrong. Think about it, there are 2 schools named after this piece of shit. I wonder how the parents of all those children would feel knowing that the school their children go to is named after a child sex abuser?

The layers and layers of this deception must stop. It’s too difficult for just one man and his 8 year old son to educate the masses. I need Justice. I need the truth to be told and Canada has made promises around truth and reconciliation but where is ours? Why do I have to bare the sins of this pedophile sex abuser? Why do I have to be the one to do it all? It’s just not fair to me or my son who knows that what I am doing is the right path moving forward. He knows it’s not good for someone of power and influence to do what he did. I think of all these other artists who have believed in the lies. That he was a cultural hero and an icon. It’s not true. It was all fabricated for the glory of settlers to make money off the dead pedophile. That is the reality that I am dealing with. The loss of former friends in John zemanovich, Jonathan Sommer, and Kevin Hearn they all abandoned me. Ever since I came out about Morrisseau being a piece of shit like Gary Lamont? Not a word from them. No support, no asking if I’m ok, nothing. They all turned their back on me in favour of the dead pedophile and his sex abuse legacy. Imagine that? That is cold and absolutely fuckin heartless. They have chosen to say nothing, do nothing and walk away leaving me stranded. That’s not truth and reconciliation. That’s complicit. 

I have reached out to this judge in Laura bird because quite frankly it is my last hope. I prayed to the Creator before I sent her that email 3 months ago because the Creator gave me the green light through an answered prayer. I believe I did the right thing and I will continue to do the right thing. I have so much data around this case and all the players in it that when I do my documentary around all of this? It’s going to be a very unsettling story. It will make There are no fakes look like a walk in the park. That’s how challenging and difficult this whole thing has been. And after all of this? Somewhere within me I still have hope. Hope for the truth to be heard and digested by those who can help me. I have hope for real truth and reconciliation to happen. I still have hope for humanity but it must start with this story being told in the courts, in the system, across Canada and beyond. Living a lie of this magnitude is super destructive. It is deceptive on so many levels and both First Nations and Canadians deserve to live in the truth. 

I’m really tired and I’m feeling very alone in much of this. It’s a curse, carrying this weight for all these years. I never did anything wrong, I only wanted to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…we’ll see what the universe unfolds over the next while. I sure hope there are those out there who hear my story and truly want to help. At the end of the day, it’s the right thing to do.

Sincerely,

Here’s what we have learned about the gay sexual abuser in Norval Morrisseau and his pathetic estate in 2026

 

A.I image prompt: Talking with the spirits 2026 

Good evening to each and everyone and it’s been a few days since I last posted an article. I’ve been in the bush a lot these days just spending some good quality time with nature spirit. I’ve been reflecting and thinking about the woodland school art form, the truth I’ve brought forward about the sexual abuse I suffered and the victims of Norval Morrisseau’s sexual assaults on many others. It’s been a real eye opening experience and there will be much more to come. I simply will not let white colonizers like ding dong Dingle, Morrisseau’s ex lover in that street kid/sex pimp in Gabe Vadas continue to lie and try to create some false narrative about who the sexual rapist truly was. In my experience and knowledge he’s nothing more than a disgraced sexual abuser. So, let’s get into what we’ve learned so far. 

1: I  have brought forth evidence of the sexual abuse, I couldn’t go any further because I ran out of money to continue this fight in court. 

2: It was very challenging to go through the colonial system seeking justice when I learned this hard truth, you have to pay for justice in colonial Canada with money. I simply didn’t have the $300,000 to $500,000 to continue to fight. 

3: I was poorly represented in court by a lawyer who had a conflict of interest by contacting the estate previously without my knowledge. That constitutes what legal terms would call, a conflict of interest. (I deserve a new trial) 

4: The estate of Norval Morrisseau is full of shit. Gabe Vadas was never Norvals adopted son. They’ve lied to everyone including the Canadian media about this adopted father/son relationship. Karl burrows was there. He knew it was all a lie. He exposed in my legal documents that both Gabe and Norval were lovers. That Gabe Vadas was nothing more than Norvals sex doll. That Gabe was submissive to Norval and took care of all of Norvals needs including sex. The adoption story was a cover up. 

5: We learned that Cory ding dong Dingle doesn’t know shit about how we First Nations obtain our spirit names. We learned that he’s a chronic lying scum bag trying to paint himself as some nice guy trying to help me. Wrong. He told me in a phone conversation that he was going to run right over me. We learned that he’s lied to so many First Nations and Canadians alike. He put the child sex abuser on the moon contaminating the moon and her sacred energy with his garbage art. 

6: We have learned that all of Morrisseau’s children were involved in the art fraud. They all gave public statements saying the fake black drybrush paintings were real. We learned that David was raped by his father as a boy. Thus the involvement in the fraud. We learned that both him, Christian and Eugene were involved along with Norvals brother in wolf. All guilty of crimes but made some deal with the Thunder Bay police, never apologizing for their role in these crimes. 

7: We are discovering that this story is far from over. There are elements coming into fruition that will no doubt support all these truths and will eventually tell the real story. For everyone to know so that this grotesque record of actual facts can be truthfully digested. Lying to us First Nations and Canadians is not justice. There will be more coming forward soon. It’s just a matter of time. This is Canada’s own Epstein island so to speak when it comes to who Norval Morrisseau really was. A historic sexual abuser who raped his own son in David Morrisseau, sexually abused Tom Tom Sinclair, sexually abused Brian Marion (now deceased) sexually abused me, sexually abused Jason Mcquaker (now deceased) sexually abused Warren Polher (now deceased) and several other victims as exposed by Tom Tom Sinclair in what was witnessed by him as Thunder bays own Epstein island. 

The reality is that this story isn’t done. There will much more coming forward over the next few months. Please stay tuned as we continue to see this thing all the way through, right to its end…

Update regarding my historic sexual assault lawsuit against Norval Morrisseau and his estate, I’ll share all legal documents for the public record…

 

Pictured here: lighting my collection of Norval Morrisseau art on fire…August, 2023


Good evening to each and everyone and once again a sincere thanks and appreciation for those who supported me through this process and endeavour. It certainly wasn’t easy but did teach me that this system isn’t designed to really help or support First Nations, it’s a white system built to support white people primarily. That has been my experience. To find really good legal representation? It’s a lot like searching for a needle in a haystack. I thought that because this lawyer I chose was a fellow artist, I thought he’d be able to understand more. Wrong. These people are so colonized, they are not even aware of their own colonization. This guy and his firm were really poor communicators, left me stranded for weeks on end and I simply felt neglected and unimportant. Not a good recipe if you are dealing with historic sexual assault. The reality for me around this was getting very difficult to process and feel confident about. So I fired him 2 weeks ago. 

I tried searching for pro bono lawyers, legal advocates, law firms, legal aid, etc to no avail. The whole process of retelling the crime, the rehashing of these events and struggles was just too difficult for me. I suffer from a brain injury and have symptoms of depression and ptsd. The weight of being in financial stress and poverty was really the killer for me. The lack of support was another challenge in finding strong legal representation. I simply don’t have the financial power to move forward. As hard as that is, it’s the reality for me. I did the best I could with what I had and that’s the tough part. I was down to my last $1200.00 dollars. I couldn’t even afford to file documents on my own if I was to even represent myself in the Supreme Court of B.C. 

I believe in the truth with regard to everything that happened to me around this including the other victims I discovered and found. I will upload all the legal documents in my possession for the public record. There are still other opportunities to tell this story and I will follow through with those options as time moves forward. I have also made appointments with the BC ombudsman along with the B.C. human rights tribunal and I’ll be connecting with the B.C. law society to file a complaint. On that note, here are the files which are now all legal documents. Between the estate of Norval Morrisseau and myself, the legal fees were pushing towards $60,000.00.

That’s what it cost to get this information this far. The estate knows now that Norval Morrisseau was a sexual abuser. So should the rest of the world. I’ll never align myself ever again with this pathetic reality of the pedophile sex abuser. To me: he’s a piece of shit, forever. 

First things first, my letter of resignation regarding this lawsuit sent to the law firm of the estate:


Next, my statement of claim:






After my statement of claim was filed, the estate of Morrisseau in Cory Dingle filed this. Affidavit #1:





This was my response to the estate in affidavit # 2: 





I’ll add the supporting documents of the estates lawyer in Jason Gratl seeking my evidence. Here are those statements from my former law firm who represented me: 



Here is my evidence of these claims including witness testimony and statements that I received from those who were abused by Norval Morrisseau and knew of some of this abuse: 

Selected excerpts pertaining to sexual abuse by Tom Tom Sinclair. The writing in grey and white is Tom Tom, the writing in blue and white is me: 

Exhibit A: 










In this conversation Tom Tom Sinclair points out 4 victims including himself with numerous other potential victims that we may never find how many that exact number could be. Tom Tom states that Norval Morrisseau was a frequent visitor to Thunder Bay’s own “Epstein island”. Even Christi Belcourt and issach Murdoch get exposed for some of the sexual abuse that happened at their camp “Nimki”. 

Next the letter from art collector and friend in Dr. Jarrod golden who worked with both David Morrisseau and myself. He is a wonderful man who has been a cherished friend for decades. He knew Norval Morrisseau was a pedophile. Here are his legal statements which have been legally documented here in my case:

Exhibit B: 


Finally the legal documents from Karl burrows who was an apprentice to Norval Morrisseau for more than 17 years. He gives an account of setting the record straight about Gabe Vadas and his real relationship to Norval. He was not only Morrisseau’s pimp as I have stated honestly to you all, but was also Norvals gay lover. He knew, he was there. He seen it all including the sex trafficking that was being done by Gabe Vadas on Norvals behalf:

Exhibit C: 

This is everything that I was able to get exposed into legal documentation from this experience. Truth and reconciliation doesn’t matter in my experience with the estate of Norval Morrisseau. They are willing to lie and to go to any lengths to do so. They are corrupt in my opinion and will forever be associated with trying to hide and protect a historic sexual abuser. A pedophile who could not control his filthy and dirty sexual appetites. He will always remain a pathetic sex abuser. I’ll leave you with this piece of information as well regarding my story. When this story was first published in the news media my friend asked if she could post the article on her fb page. I said sure, go ahead and educate. Someone she knew contacted her and said this about who Norval Morrisseau really was:

To tell you the truth? The Creator spirit is revealing so much information to me. I see you…I see who you are…

 

New quilts being shipped to “Quilts for survivors”  this week of October 2025

No doubt there are levels to this game of life and I truly see so much now as the direct result of coming forward. Most of what I am witnessing is the utter weakness of many around the corrupt world of the pedophile sex abuser in Norval Morrisseau and his spiritually bankrupt legacy. Really gross energy. From the estate itself and pretty much everyone else connected to it. It’s gross. Money grubbing lawyers, so-called bullshit experts, fake ass people with hidden agendas, weak character, scumbag liars with no moral fibre or backbone. Some have said I am the kiss of death, I’m trying to assassinate the pedophile shamans legacy. 

I disagree with all that nonsense. 

I’m here to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This is the reality and because of that some people will unfortunately get exposed. People will get hurt. But it’s the truth itself that is leading the way. I am simply the messenger. I am the change agent. I am the one willing to go all the way. To shine a light on these historic sex crimes, living or dead, all of it must come forward. Destiny awaits…these are the instructions. I am grateful that my Creator supports me, is protecting me in this very dark world that we all live in. 

I trust that no matter how challenging this undertaking is, I’m doing the right thing. Yes it’s a terrible weight to carry, but I must continue forward. At this point I’m the only one strong enough to tell these truths I’ve discovered including my own story. I am a truthteller and because of that some will hate me for it. That is none of my business. I’m not looking for friendships around this. I learned a long time ago that the realm of Morrisseau is absolutely fucked. I could not trust them. They all have hidden motives and agendas. It’s all about making a buck off the dead pedophile artist. As sad and pathetic as that is, it’s the truth. My difficulties have been having to compete with this truth of discovering Morrisseau was just that, a pedophile sex abuser. Difficult and super challenging to have any real measure of success in the Canadian art scene as the direct result. Who the fuck wants to deal with that? Exactly. It’s not right. On another note I am thankful that they have been cut away from my life. I am being protected. This is the spiritual reality for me. 

The shame is on those who are willing to lie, are willing to hide underneath a rock hoping against hope that I just keep my mouth shut. Creator knows better. That’s where I put my faith and trust. Not in men. Not in any human beings. But in the truth of the Creators ways. The real architect of honesty. Not in this world or it’s people. That is where I stand and yes, the “Great Spirit” sees it all. Sees all the reservations, the hiding, the fears, the resentments, the hate, the manipulators, the cheats, the liars in all their self will glory. 


It’s stunning really. Former friends being removed from my orbit because they cannot be here for me. They cannot move past themselves. They cannot reconcile because my level of truth destroys their delusions. It’s too hard for them to accept. Maybe over time but I’m not holding my breath. I see you for who you really are. Any how, much more to come and now that the legal sphere is starting to digest these facts I’ve disclosed I’m looking forward to the next steps. As they say, the truth will set you free. Stay tuned…Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

I feel good these days, the truth is getting out and those in the know now know Norval Morrisseau was a historic sexual abuser

 

Pictured here: enjoying the light of this fire @ Kootenay mountains in B.C.

They say the truth will set you free? I’m sure for many that this is true but I can also say that the truth can be a difficult and heavy burden to carry. Either way it certainly will never lie, this I most certainly know and understand. For me this weight has been a difficult thing to carry. But from this point forward there is no turning back. Not for me and not for others who have been enlightened by these revelations I’ve shared. I’ll always believe it is wrong to prop up sexual abusers as cultural icons. 

My only wish was to come forward and expose the research I found including my own experience of what happened to me. I only wanted to tell the truth, because I discovered that I wasn’t alone. I believe in truth and reconciliation but before anyone can reconcile we must learn the truth. This has been my chief mission in uncovering, discovering and then recovering what really took place, what really happened. The undiluted truth, as challenging and ugly as it is in regards to everything I have said, shared and found. With several other victims that I have now shared legally, I can prove a pattern beyond just myself. The legal orbit beyond this case is now being made aware. The Canadian media is becoming aware and the general sphere of the corrupt world of Morrisseau is becoming aware. 

I understand how hard it is to accept that. I too once held Morrisseau in high esteem. But never again will I allow myself to be fooled like this ever again. He will always be a child sex predator who was gay, a gay sex abuser who abused young boys and young men. I feel sorry for any and all lawyers who will find this truth difficult to digest. My advice to any of you is don’t allow yourselves to be deceived by money or those trying to protect it. You now see. It’s undeniable. 

I’ll share more as this story continues to unfold but rest assured I feel different these days. Like a weight I’ve carried is finally being addressed. I can let it go. I have told the truth and I have done the right thing. I will continue to move forward one day at a time. It’s how I live my life down here on planet earth. I am setting the record straight and I feel this sense of deep purpose as the direct result. I trust my Creator and I trust that the ancestors are with me…honouring the living and the dead by telling the truth.

More to come….Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

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 πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Sharing some of my current world views through my indigenous lens @ Jacobson native art

 

No question what took shape yesterday in the colonizer White House is an absolute shame for diplomacy worldwide. What a disgusting set of actions and verbal diarrhea being spewed by American president Donald J. Trump and the vice president in J.D Vance. What a disgrace in how these white colonizers operate on stolen Indian land requiring President Zelenskyy to express his gratitude and being absolutely thankful. Holy Christ it just blows my mind on how severely ignorant these guests on our land choose to operate, even still in 2025. So vile and pig like. So selfish and self centered. So grandiose and asinine. 

I’ve been watching this shit show for years now and it just gets worse and worse and worse. I have to hand my respect for how Zelenskyy handled the situation. I’d get the fuck out of there asap. It just seems so crazy how this continued system goes on and on. It’s such a broken framework of doing business with everyone in the world. Acting in such an insulting way to someone fighting for the sovereignty of his country, his, people, his culture. I respect that. Bigtime. What an insult to such a warrior for his people. I’m choosing to boycott American made. I’m not interested in doing any business with America. I’m stepping away from that. I won’t sell any art to America during this administration. 


Siding with Russia regardless of the behind the scene’s positioning and movements between these world super powers and using Ukraine as a proxy along with the U.N and NATO is deeply ugly and dangerous for everyone involved. The fighting, the killing, the destruction is such a weakness and all of it is unacceptable and unnecessary. It’s not intelligent at all. It’s all fear based and controlling. Such shadow self energy. Not inspiring and dead and heavy, it’s utter ugliness. I fuckin hate it. Much like 2 steps forward and 46 steps back. There’s just no progress in it. So defeating for humanity. All of us. It’s such a shameful reflection for future generations. I want to see way more problem solving and relationship building between all nations. Worldwide. I expect better because I do better each and every day. Even A.I knows better and creates opportunities for solutions way better than most humans and countries. The love and wellness of the future must be at the heart of what we want to create and design as better blueprints for humanity. 

We owe the children of the world today a better plan of global actions helping to lay down a better future for everyone and for humanity to make a greater way for all life. This is how we survive and grow and collaborate with one another. Technology will no doubt be apart of that. Much like how we are open to the advancement of technology in our lives, so should we choose to collaborate with each other on a global scale. As an indigenous soul I aim to find and see the good in who we are and to look for ways through truth and reconciliation as a people to find meaningful ways of continuous transformation. I aim this arrow for the entire world, my future, my son and our legacy. 

I also wanted to congratulate the HAIDA GWAII for their huge victory in reestablishing Aboriginal title throughout their homelands. What a beautiful blessing for the entire nation and future generations of the magnificent Haida people. It will serve as a path forward, a blueprint for future negotiations between us First Nations and Canada. Real nation to nation respect. Treaty partners. I was honoured a few years ago to be invited to the Robert and Reg Davidson potlatch. It still inspires me greatly on witnessing how the entire community of their people surround their artists as the true cultural leaders that we are. I’ll carry those experiences into my very future as an Anishanabe artist forever. 


Enjoy the weekend and once again an honour to share some of my views on the current world scene here in 2025. More to come and enjoy this press conference that took shape today in England with the European allies surrounding Ukraine including an appearance by Canada. I thought it was really inspiring on how they’re trying to work together and support the ending to this war. They stand in solidarity. A lesson that most certainly can be relearned regarding the United States of America. Have a safe evening…

Continuing to expand my creativity and new innovation pushing the boundaries of the entire woodland school of art into the future…

 

Title of painting: All souls know who I am. (Tribute to our Creator) size: 48 x 72 inches

Good morning to everyone and a special thank you for all the appreciation and support that I get behind the scenes. Lots of people stand in solidarity with me and in a time where colonialism is still running rampant throughout Canada and in all our First Nations communities, we still continue moving forward a day at a time. We must and this has been the cornerstone of my daily spiritual walk. I communicate with our Creator each and every day. I seek its wisdom, truth and inspiration about how to walk as best I can while remaining truthful and transparent. This journey of life has not been easy by any means for many of you including myself but I feel that we eventually get to a place where Creator spirit is the only way moving forward. I came to a place within myself over 26 years ago where I truly surrendered to the Creator. That my way wasn’t working. That self power wasn’t enough. A spiritual experience. An utter transformation within the mind, body, heart and spirit. I haven’t had a drink since. 

It’s been an absolutely fascinating ride ever since. Like peeling away the layers and getting into the core of who you really are. A spectacular power that resides within. Creator consciousness or God consciousness as many religions of the world would say. Operating from this place is who I truly am. That doesn’t mean to stand back and just let life happen. My will is like a creative instrument. My inner force guided by principles. Much like being an agent of the Creators will. Being of service to others is where real growth and change takes place. Like that old saying: actions speak louder than words. 

Title: The divine elements of creation within the God mind. Size: 48 x 84 inches. 

I’m proud to walk my talk as best I can through this unique mindset and personal relationship with source. My culture obviously plays a major role and although I fall short at times, I continue to put one foot in front of the other. My spirit is steadfast and cannot be broken. I will not change my values to suit your needs. I will represent everything that I am. No excuses and no filter in being honest and genuine. I’m not governed by man in that sense. I am a warrior for truth and justice. My heart feels right about how I do things. Others may struggle with my levels, but rest assured I come to correct things. I come to shine the light. I am a knowledge keeper of this art form and I have a duty to my people to help shine the path forward. That is truly the standard here at Jacobson native art. 
Title of paintings: Chiefs of the future. (series 3 and series 4) Woodland A.I. 

My new indigenous art genre is the way into the future for me. An incredible new path filled with such wild imagination and creative innovation. I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s so transformative and moves the woodland school into the future like no one else. It’s that deadly to me and I’m so inspired by this new breath of fresh air. I just recieved 11 new image prompts and have drawn out 3 this weekend. I’ll post these soon as I’ll be making time for them next week. Still busy with commissions and designing new collections with little giant productions in Kaslo BC. We are looking forward to sharing new releases throughout 2025. In the meantime I’ll share more in the near future and thank you once again for being apart of my creative journey. More to come…all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ
