Shifting gears in Life and in the studio @ Jacobson native art

 

Good morning to each and everyone. Just keepin it simple and getting ready to get back in to the studio and paint. Getting in a few more rides before the snow takes over....

Healing and moving onward and forward. I am grateful to see it all...in honour of the souls of our children. All my relations and I’ll ride ride ride for them this morning...

Dear Canada, I’m ashamed of you for murdering our Residential school children...it’s so disgusting!

 

These are indeed very dark and challenging times. The very fact that the international criminal court will not follow through with an investigation into these Active crime scenes is perhaps some of the greatest injustice I have ever seen in my lifetime. It’s beyond appalling and should be recognized for the abortion of the rule of law that it is. 

That is exactly what the rule of law is on our holy and sacred lands. A grotesque perversion of colonial white settler racism in its ugliest and shittiest of forms. Oh Canada, your home on stolen lands. Killing little innocent children in the name of progress, in pride of being a so called Canadian. Super fuckin gross and super fuckin disturbing if you ask me. 

Everything I have said has come true up to this point. The absurd apology of the pope of the Catholic Church is meaningless. It has zero depth and weight. Apologizing for murder wouldn’t cut it in any courtroom across Canada as a solution that would suffice. How the fuck could it? Any normal person knows that getting away with crimes against humanity is much like nazi Germany getting away with war crimes against the Jews.

It is skin crawling disgusting. I think of anyone being proud to be a Canadian and it gives me the major shivers and hee bee gee bees. Holy fuck is right. Giving your life in honour of this country and it’s real history of murdering tens of thousands of innocent children and building your settler dreams on the very backs of these dead children makes you really think about values. I know this:

I’m absolutely grateful to be awake and to have the veil lifted so that I can truly see things as they are. I am a sovereign Anishanabe. I will continue to speak for those whose voice was robbed of them by Canada and their agents of death, the Catholic and Christian churches along with the RCMP. All twisted fucks. I’m in a place of deep healing and reflection and I will need some time to rest for a while...my soul is tired. My heart is heavy and I need time to heal from these continual acts of genocide...MAJ

We honour and respect the highly classified reality of the UFO/UAP phenomenon

 Title of painting: Universal sharing of the genetic codes

Good evening to each and everyone of you here @ Jacobson native art. I wanted to get into this article for quite some time and now I have the time to do so. There has been a radical shift over the last 4 years regarding the reality and truth of the Ufo/Uap phenomenon. It is the most top secret and classified file on the planet. Nothing even comes close. 

The New York Times really broke open the story in 2017 by the release of classified videos regarding the Nimitz encounters and what is now commonly known as the Tic Tac ufo incident. Over 4 months ago the pentagon confirmed that all these videos and photos of the incident are infact authentic. Now, that being said, we First Nations have known about these entities as “star nation” for tens of thousands of years. 

I have had dozens and dozens of experiences myself. All of them being fast moving orbs of light, changing colours and many of them moving in different directions. All signs of intelligence and with the confirmation of the pentagon, they have also released a detailed report to the U.S. senate in June of 2021 as well confirming this reality. 

Title of painting: Cosmic consciousness 

For me, on many of my experiences I’ve also had witnesses who have seen them with me including a couple family members who were literally blown away that I could summon them and they would show up. I really believe that they are open to revealing themselves to those with a beautiful heart. It’s always a non threatening experience for me. More or less a display of their capabilities and technology. A fantastic light show if you will.

We are most definitely in one of the most exciting periods of discovery ever, in human history. I feel so blessed to be in this awareness. It is a powerful energy no doubt. Their abilities with being trans medium, no propulsion, able to move in impossible g force conditions, breaking our known understandings of the laws of physics and being able to appear then disappear is some of the most intriguing energy around this phenomenon. Any how I feel so honoured that the time for disclosure is upon us. Slowly and step by step is how it has to be done. 

Enjoy this video as it gives a very clear cut idea into the subject matter at hand...wishing you all the highest good as we move into these new realities. All my relations, MAJ

The centre of my Universe @ Jacobson native art


 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...

We appreciate the love and support @ Jacobson native art


 Good evening to each and everyone and I appreciate all the great energy of love and support these days as we continue to trudge this road of life and destiny. Recently I made some new shifts and changes to my social media vibes and it seems to be paying off in more ways than one. I am mentoring quite a few artists these days both indigenous and non native alike. 

I am born of both these worlds so it is wise for me to share my experience strength and hope in regards to turning the game around. Everyone can benefit from my truth and experience. The reality is I am a whole being. One with all things. Never separate from the whole. There is indeed all kinds of shit I don’t agree with etc in how we have been conditioned to believe and treat one another but underneath that static, is the power.

I am grateful that my reach is expanding and growing. It has always been about the healing and coming together of each and everyone of us. Time and space affords all kinds of shifts and changes. I see the underlying current of this force, this unified energy. It doesn’t matter what the mind thinks in this regard. It is the soul that should be in full control of who you are. That is where the true power is. 

With that, I just wanted to express my gratitude that there are millions of souls around the world who are resonating with this new found energy and power. It is newly found for many because one must peel away the layers of bullshit that hide us from this divine knowledge and power. The colonial playbook is just that.

All my relations and chi-meegwetch, MAJ

Honouring the glaciers of Mother Earth @ Jacobson native art


 Deep in the wonderful spirit and energy of Mother Earth tonight. Feeling so thankful to her for her powers, lifeforce, energy and continual abundance. Regardless of us, she is always in control. It is by her grace that we continue to exist and we need to have our mind on Mother Earth and Mother Earth on our minds. 

Rather than my mind on my money and money on my mind....

Times are a changing. The frequency is super high right now. We must change and destroy this current colonial playbook. 

The ways of exploitation must die. We simply cannot keep this current program and think that it’s all hunky dory. We must be more in alignment with the original principles of creation. We must become better servants of this planet and the future of creation upon her...every move forward matters. I love you and wish you only the ultimate highest good. 

From my soul to yours....all my relations, MAJ


Enjoy this track. It’s absolutely brilliant by Tone Depth. Track title: TERRA.

Celebrating 10 years online 2011 - 2021 @ Jacobson native art



Good evening to all my family and friends, art collectors, researchers and others both newly discovered and seasoned veterans alike. It is with a deep sense of personal gratitude that I celebrate the catalogue raisonne being online for 10 years. What a success it has been in helping to accumulate detailed knowledge, locations, provenance along with other fascinating details on the legacy of these artworks. 

I will always be known as the first native artist in either First Nations or Canadian history who has done so to date. Not even the Norval Morrisseau Heritage society will ever be able to claim that. We took care of that business here in regards to safe guarding the important and sacred artistic legacy @ Jacobson native art. 

Actions speak louder than words and that is something very important with me in regards to taking care of the integrity of my artistic legacy. In dealing with the shady business practices and gross negligence with the Norval Morrisseau estate, I quickly learned that it is never a wise decision to leave this in the hands of others. Not while I’m alive. I must do everything to set the record straight in this regard. What happened to Morrisseau was and will always be, a national disgrace. 

That will not happen with me thank goodness. One, my quality is superior to Morrisseau. Two, this authorized resource will be one of the best defences against fraud and other various forms of forgery. To have the opportunity to take care of these details while I’m alive and in my prime of life is an excellence that I try to capture in every piece I create. 

Those who collect and invest in Jacobson native art deserve that attention to detail and excellence as well. It is a symbiotic relationship between artist and collectors. It is a divine relationship in its essence, the art and the spirit of that being tied to all things. We are the sacredness of the circle. Clarity and integrity are a vital part of my legacy.

The reality of truth and reconciliation @ Jacobson native art

 

Good afternoon to each and everyone who continues to find me here @ Jacobson native art. Well as many of us know today is the first annual national truth and reconciliation day. Definitely another move in the right direction but a very small move it is. There is such a list of grievances against this nation called Canada. 

There are many agents who are guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity including the Catholic Church, many other Christian churches as well including many of the police forces as well as the RCMP. It’s absolutely disgusting on so many levels. How, (their rule of law was invented on stolen Indian land) when the white man says to follow the rule of law but they cannot follow it themselves. They choose to find ways to hide from their crimes, to bend the law, the rules and everything else they get their fuckin hands on, to their own advantage. It’s a real dr. Jeckel and mr. Hyde scenario. 

Canada and most Canadians simply cannot be fully trusted. Most Canadians are complete airheads when it comes to the history of how Canada came to be. (Even the white man in me knows this) How they got what they got....(stolen goods from stolen lands resources etc). Most Canadians dont even know how bad they got it. They are so colonized and assimilated that they literally can’t even think for themselves so they vote for white colonial so-called leaders to do the thinking for them.

And that is exactly the reason why Canada continues to fail miserably with us First Nations. Obviously there are tens of thousands of more reasons on top of that but the reality is Canada is a genocidal program built on the murder of us First Nations and the continual raping and exploitation of our resources. Our wealth. The colonial doctrine of discovery is a racist and discriminatory action against First Nations and other indigenous tribes throughout the world. 

Canadians whether they know it or not, their so called country is built on this foundation. Land theft, resource theft, murder, rape, stealing our children, racism, discrimination, hate, violence, force and control. Building your dreams as Canadians on the backs of oppression, on the very backs of us First Nations. That is what Canada is. That is what it means to identify as a Canadian. It’s gross I know. But this is the truth. And we cannot have true reconciliation until we deal with these matters of truth. 

I’ve always said since my awakening into my own process of decolonization and for the last few years now being in the pursuit of my sovereignty as Anishanabe that reconciliation will take time. In fact, the way I see it is that the cultural fabric of this country is still in the discovery of the truth phase. We have not even truly begun to deal with what real reconciliation will look like. 

Still even in the thickness of all of this, I must continue to remain hopeful. The fog of assimilation is beginning to lift albeit very slowly across our lands. I have friends who wouldn't be able to grasp any of this 5 years ago. They now can talk more openly with me about it. I see organizations and people beginning to stand up more and more with regard to how this must shift and change for all First Nations and Canadians alike. 

For now we will continue to move forward each and every day. I’m willing to seek this change and I’m willing to open up my heart to others who want to walk this path with us. I truly believe that it will remain a difficult challenge for Canada to learn how to shift and change with us. The government knows that they are in the wrong. Most of them know it. But greed, selfishness and exploitation still lead the way in the Canadian mind set. And let’s be honest, until our white settler brothers and sisters learn how to decolonize themselves, we are still a long long way from real and meaningful change. These types of Canadian settler sickness must be dealt with. It is the very poison that keeps the genocidal colonial machine still alive in this, the 21st century.

Canadian art galleries and dealers who are “permanently black listed” @ Jacobson native art


Wishing all my friends and collectors and those of you who are new in discovering my art, a beautiful morning. I have been reflecting on my various experiences in the Canadian art world the last couple of days and I feel like it’s time to set the record straight on my dealings with many of these Canadian/colonial institutions. 

The levels of Colonialism, discrimination, racism, prejudice, class distinction, lies and deceptions and out right fraud is absolutely fuckin unbelievable. I’ve been in this business for over 35 years now. I’ve seen it all across these stolen lands. It’s despicable how many of these operations treat us First Nations. The greed, ego and outright selfishness is some of the ugliest shit I’ve seen from many of these galleries I’m going to list. 

This list is to educate my buyers and collectors on the pitfalls of dealing with these very galleries who in one form or another as labelled, have qualified to be permanently blacklisted. These are my honest and accurate accounts and experiences. Let’s get into the details:

#1: National gallery of Canada - Colonial institution founded on racism and genocide (I simply don’t give a shit about the national gallery)

#2: Kinsmen Robinson gallery - Scumbag pathetic liars who sold fake Morrisseau’s (Paul Robinson is a complete douche bag)

#3: Bearclaw gallery - sold fake Morrisseau’s, liars and cheating scumbags

#4: Eagle spirit gallery - Owner Rob Scott is a 2 bit hustler scumbag (sells fake Morrisseau’s)

#5: Donnachild fine art - sold fake Morrisseau’s, lied to many unsuspecting buyers, art fraud 

#6: Koyman galleries - sell fake Morrisseau’s (deceiving art buying public)

#7: Raven art Canada - Betrayed and sold out by owner John Zemanovich and wife

#8: Friends united - One 0f the worst experiences Ive ever had selling art to a client

#9: Norval Morrisseau estate - gross negligence, untrustworthy, very cold unstable energy

#10: Red kettle collectables - selling various waves of Norval Morrisseau fakes

#11: Black sheep gallery - sell fake Morrisseau’s with some real Morrisseau’s 

#12: Brights gallery - owner peter was warned about his fake Morrisseau’s, he continues to sell them right up to this very day

#13: Jim White distribution - one of the biggest distributors of fake Morrisseau’s, fake prints of fakes, major copyright Infringement, out right art fraud

#14: Bremner & Bremner fine art - currently sell fake Morrisseau’s 

#15: Ugo Matulic - fake Morrisseau art collector and dealer, a lying scumbag, a total piece of shit

#16: Several Canadian Museums and institutions - currently in possession of stolen property and cultural artifacts. Colonial framework still operational in this, the 21st century. It’s absolutely disturbing. Please do the right thing and give back our cultural property and wealth, thank you. 

So, there you have it at this point. Clearly I have had my issues with these various false entities who pretend that they represent the truth. Clearly, they do not. It takes a serious grievance and a series of let downs that are marked in deceptions, lies, selfishness and wronging me with disrespect that will finally break the camels back. Those who truly know me know that I have a very big heart. I’m willing to go to bat for many many different types of people out there. But if you fuck around? Guess what? You’ll find out...you won’t be around me, no more. My inner circle is vitally important to me. Sometimes thats what it takes to take care of yourself and your environment.

Healing the souls of our children @ Jacobson native art

 Painting in progress...

Title of tripdych: Healing the souls of our children, Size of each canvas: 30 x 48 inches (total of 90 x 48 inches) 2021



Good evening to each and everyone and I wanted to send a big shout out to all of you who continue to share in the healing and support of the discoveries of our residential school children. This energy has been a heavy one for many across this country and around the world. The challenges are difficult and the emotional terrain not so easy to navigate. 

 The spiritual reality of this has had and continues to have a very deep and profound effect on me. I am a direct product of the genocide and abuses of residential schools and what Canada has tried to do in wiping out my family bloodlines as Anishanabe. I am a 60’s scoop survivor. I truly represent the seeds they couldn’t destroy. 

I am alive and I have a son who is also a seed they cannot destroy. We are the true spirit and life of the Anishanabe. We are stronger than ever and we will overcome. It is our destiny. We are masters at living in 2 worlds at the same time. It makes us very powerful. We will continue to thrive and move forward with a steadfast spirit honouring our ancestors, our children and ourselves.

I’m currently working on several paintings here in the studio. I am working on the above mentioned tripdych set titled: Healing the souls of our children. It has been very challenging to find the light of inspiration in such a dark energy with regard to the murder of our children. But this painting needs to happen. I must find their love, light and power and share this with the world. 

Their spirits are guiding me in this piece. It has been one of the hardest paintings I’ve ever had to make. To find this painting in a sea of darkness...that’s exactly how it has been. I will continue to find a way within to accomplish this feat...to honour them, the souls of our children for all generations...past, present and future. All my relations, MAJ

Proud to announce: Worldwide campaign “Honouring the residential school children” with Northcott fabrics & Jacobson native art

 

Good day to each and everyone. It is with great pride and love that I am truly honoured to announce my new Official worldwide campaign with Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art. This new partnership and collaboration with regard to “Honouring the residential school children“ will be an initiative formed in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. We are releasing the collection: HEALING WATERS from 2022 to 2024.

This initiative is centred in love and healing for all the families and children effected by the residential schools tragedy. The whole reason for this release is to help find a way for First Nations, Canadians, Americans and those around the world to contribute to the solution of healing and well being for all involved. 

This campaign with the release of this collection “Healing waters” is specifically designed for quilters around the world. This is an opportunity for all of us to collaborate and work together. My goal is to see these chosen quilts to be offered to the families directly effected by these on going tragedies. 

We all have a role to share in the healing of the cultural fabric of this country. This campaign is designed to help bring us together. There was a time not so long ago during first contact between us First Nations and settlers where the “gifting of blankets” came from a place of love, care, warmth and comfort. 

Let us come together through the actions of these principles and share our gifts with those in need. Each selected quilt will be offered to a First Nations family directly effected. These quilts will obviously be donated to this cause. Your family name and created quilt will have an opportunity to be a part of this legacy. 

You will be remembered with respect and honour for sharing your love with such a deep and transformative cause. We can find the answers. We can work together and heal. It is our birthright to appreciate one another and to find meaningful ways of widening the circle between us. All of us. We all have something to bring to the table of brotherhood, sisterhood. We are the human family. 

More information will be presented over the next coming weeks. Please stay tuned to us here at: Jacobson native art. We’ll be working with Northcott on where to send the completed quilts for distribution in the next few weeks. We thank you with all of our hearts for wanting to participate and be a part of the solution. 


We each have a unique and special part to play in each others lives. Let’s see how far we can reach into one another and share the transformation and power of “HEALING WATERS”. Here is a link to my profile at Northcott fabrics. It will also be a source of staying current with this campaign. 

https://www.northcott.com/designers-detail.aspx?di=538

We are the solution we each have been searching for. The time for healing is now. We honour the past by learning from it, by making it better today. I truly and sincerely want to thank you all for sharing and participating in this opportunity. Together we can make the change we wanna see in our world. All my relations, MAJ

Exciting new partnership between Sea Gods and Jacobson native art

Title of painting: The spirit of White rock. Size: 24 x 48 inches, 2021

 Good afternoon to all those who continue to find me here @ Jacobson native art. I am feeling quite inspired by this new partnership between my art and Sea Gods, a paddle board company firmly established out of White Rock B.C. I wanted to expand my creative energy and relationship building capabilities under the umbrella of truth and reconciliation and this Initiative certainly fits that agenda, beautifully. 

I am obviously a massive supporter and lover of Mother Nature. She is such a source of inspiration. So it was really a no brainer to connect and create with both Ryan and Mandy of Sea Gods and to collaborate with one another on this new and exciting project. We all agree that the wisdom of healing and connection is with the power and forces of nature spirit. 

This opportunity will bring forth a wonderful and joyful connection for all involved. I am honoured and grateful that we have found a way to bring you First Nations art and culture and have tied this to the craft of paddle boarding. Both Ryan and Mandy are super happy and excited as well. 

This is the first time that Sea Gods has infused contemporary First Nations art into their portfolio. We wanted to collaborate on a theme that meant so much to them as well as myself. We chose the legend of white rock as our foundation. It is a beautiful love story filled with all the emotional power of going to any lengths for the one you love. 

This will be the first of many new designs that we will be embarking upon. To work together in these challenging times with regard to the reality of truth and reconciliation shows us that citizens can do it without government support. We must take the lead ourselves. We are the answer and these kinds of initiatives prove that it is really up to us to create these solutions, together. 

So with that I wanted to say thank you to each and everyone who continues to support my art and creative energy and relationships. I am super excited to be working in these challenging times putting together these kinds of opportunities for both First Nations and Canadians alike. I’ll leave you with this legend of white rock and the story of love and how the foundation of this first design came into being. Wishing you all the best as we continue to trudge the road of happy destiny. 

All my relations, MAJ

Here @ Jacobson native art we dance, we paint, we create


 Good day to each and everyone. Ive been back in the studio working on my commissions. The energy is moving and I’m feeling good about getting back into the art. I’m a huge music fan as well and enjoy working while listening to 2 to 5 hour DJ sets by some of the worlds best innovators in electronic music. 

Progressive house with thick base lines, snappy tribal beats with epic layers and layers intelligently put together inspire me greatly. My dad was an ol disco boy in the 1970s. For me I grew up dancing and loving music. It’s no wonder this style of music inspires me so greatly. I love dancing as well and like my father, I ruled a few dance floors in my day. 

Any how, enjoy this profound DJ set from Ben Bohmer. As he creates this set flying in a hot air balloon over Turkey...absolutely fuckin stunning. Wishing you all blessings and take care out there...all my relations, MAJ

Continuing to set the record straight @ Jacobson native art


Title of painting: Sacred prayers for our Mother Earth, 30 x 40 inches

Good evening to all of you who have found and continue to find me here at my new site. I am grateful for the ability to continue to move forward with regard to setting the record straight around the what, where, why, when, who and how of the current realities in our woodland school of art. There really isn’t anyone out there who is monitoring the situation with regard to the integrity of our art. 

When I began my journey of investigating the size and scope of the Morrisseau art fraud, I didn’t realize just how far I would have to go in digging for the truth. I spent hours and hours and hours researching hundreds and hundreds of artists throughout the woodland school. I studied various suspects and their own styles, inlay work, detailing and colour choices and black outline abilities. 

It was pertinent to get a profound grasp of the mechanics as I had to find those blueprints in the fakes. I think I’m one of the best in the entire world at it. I don’t think there is anyone out there who knows the school as well as I do. I carry the torch now. It’s just the way it is. I am a guardian for our art form. I didn’t choose this but over time, it happened. It became apparent that there was no one on my level about it. 

So I assume that I was appointed by the research, experience and knowledge along with Norval Morrisseau himself instructing me to please help him. I think I have and have done more than my fair share of putting myself out there in defence of the truth, of the authenticity of Norval Morrisseau’s art and legacy. 

Someone has to do it. To shine the light into the whole thing. That is my ability, that is my power. It has and continues to be an honor and privilege for me to do so. The amount of darkness and deceptions around the estate and legacy of Morrisseau is horrendous to say the least. I will continue to warrior up for my people the great and magnificent Anishanabe. We are the true legacy of these lands. We are the original people. We are the seeds they couldn’t destroy....all my relations....MAJ
