Good afternoon to each and everyone following the truth here @ Jacobson native art. This article will go into the very reasons why the estate of Norval Morrisseau is a complete scam and why they are guilty of gross negligence throughout Morrisseau’s legacy and the woodland school of art. They can never be trusted. They are liars and live on the backs of those of us who did the real work. They did fuck all.
This is a painting done by a great artist in Steven snake. Unfortunately the subject matter of this painting is of Norval Morrisseau painting a Phil Cote fake sourced from a Maslak McLeod catalogue. It’s disgusting and what’s even worse is that the estate of Norval Morrisseau does absolutely nothing to correct these issues. They sit back and say nothing, do nothing and hide underneath a rock. It’s so weak and embarrassing. Their only focus is the money. This is why the estate is not the representation of our woodland school. That reality now sits with us living artists who are indigenous and have the right to paint these stories and teachings. White settlers who hide behind Morrisseau are not capable of speaking up in this regard. This art form belongs with us, the great Anishanabe.

This is how warped and distorted this whole art fraud of Morrisseau’s legacy has become. It’s so multi layered and in need of being cleaned up but those dipshits like Gabe Vadas and Ding dong Dingle do absolutely nothing. These weak and shallow individuals continue to ride the coat tails of those of us who did the hard work of confronting these issues on behalf of Morrisseau but now more importantly for the authenticity of our woodland school of art. The estate is an embarrassment to us. It is broken and will probably never have the same feel ever again. It’s over for them.
This is why they have no power in my world. They are an embarrassment to the industry, the woodland art movement and will be exposed for their inability to function properly. You see when you boil off all the shit around the estate you see who they are and what they’ve become. Naked and soulless, empty of any real meaning. This is the true estate of Norval Morrisseau. A legacy built on lies, deceptions and absolute gross negligence. The next reality coming for them is how do you continue to hide the sexual abuse of innocent little children? Huh? What? Really? Exactly. You won’t be able to. This is what is coming next for them. The hunger for money will cease and you will be confronted with this on a much larger scale then you can imagine. It’s absolutely disgusting what these people have done including that grand shaman shyster bullshit in Norval Morrisseau himself. Guilty of historic sex crimes. The biggest let down of my entire life. The art and life of sexual abuser Norval Morrisseau....
Good evening to all of you following the truth in this story. This is just a short post to acknowledge the next chapter in this horrific and devastating new development regarding the historic sex crimes of the now disgraced Norval Morrisseau and the estate.
This is by no means in any way, shape or form, a joke. What happened to Lamont and the other perpetrators of these art crimes will no doubt follow suit with the legacy of Morrisseau. I stand in the truth along with all survivors of sexual abuse. Your time of hiding underneath the last fuckin rock, is over.
The truth of our Creator is now on its way. To set the record straight...once and for all. Your denial of these truths will mean absolutely fuckin nothing. This is being designed and hand delivered by the great spirit itself. There is no doubt in my heart about it....
More to come. All my relations, MAJ

Good afternoon and once again just keeping this short as there is going to be a major landslide of truth coming forward soon enough. I feel the reporter here did a good job minus the babbling in the last portion of the video and written interview concerning that fuck nut in Cory “ding dong” Dingle from that dysfunctional and ass backwards estate. Enjoy the link. Have a beautiful day. All my relations, MAJ
Video: OPP and Thunder Bay police Art fraud investigation results
Good afternoon and once again this is just a quick and short post about the art fraud investigations regarding now discovered sexual predator and child abuser in Norval Morrisseau. There will be much more to come regarding these new allegations. This whole thing has been a constant cesspool of newly discovered truths about the once iconic and former mentor in Morrisseau. It’s devastating to me but what lays ahead regarding exposing this is far more important.
I send a shout out to APTN national news for quoting me and sharing my truth in this story. Have yourselves a safe weekend and I look forward to bringing you the final chapter in my Morrisseau investigations. All my relations, MAJ
Just a quick update that the long awaited Norval Morrisseau “sexual predator“ art fraud investigation appears to have some results. On Friday March 3rd, at 10.00 am eastern time will be the announcement. There was a time when I would have cared more about this result but finding out information that Morrisseau is and was a sexual abuser of children has really changed all of that.
Cleaning up some of this garbage is necessary more for our woodland school of art and the future generations who would be misled by these abominations. There are more than 12 waves of fakes out there. We’ll see what work has been done on this behalf. This investigation simply has just scratched the surface of what lies beneath. It’s taken the police forces over 14 years to come to these conclusions. We’ve known about this for much longer. I told you this was gonna happen. Wait until what comes next...
More to come and stay tuned here @ Jacobson native art. All my relations, MAJ
Pictured here: Morrisseau fake black drybrush bedspread of Gary Lamont’s sexual abuse of native boys. On sale at: Redbubble
Good evening friends and welcome to another post exposing just a little bit more of the utter sickness and stupidity of this estate. As this story unfolds and the truth of this reality gains more momentum, the spotlight will no doubt grow brighter and brighter on everything that I have stated. I most definitely stand by all these new revelations. I can back up everything I have said. That is the power of truth. For me? I wouldn’t have it any other way. Norval Morrisseau is and was a sexual abuser of children. I feel so misled and utterly disgusted. My anger and desire for justice will be channeled with absolute precision. Mark my fuckin words.
I notified the Norval Morrisseau estate months ago about that fraudulent bedspread being offered by red bubble. It’s still up. Ready for sale as I write these words. They’ve done absolutely fuckin nothing. They would rather let the art buying public wrap themselves up in a Gary Lamont black drybrush rape bedspread. Fuckin beautiful eh? You can thank dipshit Cory “ding dong” Dingle and his boss at the estate in Gabe Vadas for this continued gross negligence.
They’d rather focus on Walmart deals and pushing Morrisseau’s sexual abuser art to little white boys down in Louisiana as stated by Cory ding dong Dingle himself. Total fruit fly mentality. It’s sickening the more you know about all of this. It’s just that gross. Whoring out sexual abuser Norval Morrisseau to the uneducated masses. That’s what is happening. And has been happening for decades. That will come to an end. Sadly for many who like myself bought the lie. We bought the illusion. But that time is frightfully now over. The legacy is nothing. It’s a dreamed up white mans fantasy (Morrisseau enablers and shady gallery dealers like KRG) but underneath is this reality, that Morrisseau sexually abused children. Fuckin utter piece of shit he will always remain...now. Nothing will ever change that. It is the reality.
Pictured here is a screen capture of the Norval Morrisseau estate on Facebook whoring out the sexual abuser art in Norval bullshitter Morrisseau. The biggest letdown of my entire life. Forever disgraced as a piece of shit sexual abuser of innocent little children. I will tell you this. I will be absolutely fuckin relentless. I will not stop. I am here as my spirit name: Rainbow Thunderbird. We will shine our light on the truth of these discoveries. I will stand side by side with these survivors. There will be more revelations coming forward. Stay tuned and there is definitely much more to come...all my relations, MAJ
Good evening to each and everyone who continues to find the truth being shared here @ Jacobson native art. This article will be about exposing the stupidity and ignorance around the art, life and legacy of Norval Morrisseau and that bastard estate. Let’s start with Gabe and Michelle Vadas. Pictured above.
These 2 have done so much damage in their lies and deceptions. Doing whatever it takes to project this false image of the sexual predator in Norval Morrisseau and his art. Why? The money. That’s the only reason why. It’s disgusting how white settlers will literally sell their souls for the all mighty dollar. No integrity and with regard to Michelle Vadas I’m happy to hear that she left her abuser in Gabe Vadas. That is a very good move for her and I hope she does heal. She was forced to lie for that sack of shit in Gabe who was also Morrisseau’s sexual pimp and boy toy.
I have information for you Michelle. I have living evidence that Gabe Vadas has been cheating on you for years. Behind your back. He slept with other men’s ladies and sexual partners. Men too. Get well and don’t ever go back to that. You can do much better. You deserve to heal and get out. I hope your children heal too. They deserve a better life. Norval Morrisseau’s historic sex crimes shouldn’t be swept under the carpet. The time for exposing these truths are upon us. More to come...
Pictured here: Convicted serial rapist Gary Lamont with historic sexual abuser Norval Morrisseau
Pictured here is the former pimp and drug dealer for Norval Morrisseau in Gary Lamont. Plastered all over the news and internet for his grotesque sexual crimes. Standing in front of a fake Morrisseau painting (the black drybrush garbage). How fitting though when you step back and take a real long look at this picture, it all makes sense. Sex crimes, rape, cultural genocide, prostitution, art fraud, perversion and the list goes on and on. What a disgrace. The whole fuckin lot of them.
Pictured here: Don Robinson holding a fake Morrisseau in Yorkville (Toronto Ont.)
Next in line are these crooked fuck nuts from Kinsmen Robinson gallery in toronto. Both liars who sold numerous fakes and who have been holding up several lies about who they are and their involvement in deceiving the Canadian art buying public. When the black drybrush fakes started popping up at auction houses like Randy potter auctions and so forth, these 2 clowns started buying them all up thinking that they had their hands on a new gold mine. Lol. Fuckin idiot fucks especially Paul Robinson (pictured above ) this lying sack of shit. He reminds me of a filthy looking sewage rat. He’s another one id like to take up the mountain for a nice little trip. Fuckin bottom feeder scum.
Pictured here: White settler and ceo of the historic sexual abuser in Norval Morrisseau and the estate, Cory “ding dong” Dingle. This idiot is a complete fool in the art world. Imagine that eh? Collecting hundreds of paintings from a historic sexual abuser. Thinking he’s a hero. an icon, grand shaman....right. How about grand bullshit. The whole fucking legacy of Norval Morrisseau. The biggest let down in the entire school of our woodland art. What a disgrace...
Pictured here: So called Morrisseau expert and Academic but very poor researcher in Carmen Robertson. Here she is standing in front of a fake “Phil Cote fake Morrisseau” sourced from kinsmen Robinson gallery in Toronto called: white mans curse. What a scam by KRG getting Carmen to sell herself out with these types of fakes found in the book “travels to the house of invention”. Doing whatever it takes to try and legitimize those abominations. It was John Zemanovich, me and yes, Ritchie too who were the experts and that is why we were such a force back then. But look now? Weakness everywhere. I feel sorry for this woman...too bad. Just goes to prove that academia is a fuckin joke. The real experts are the master artists in this school. Remember that.
Pictured here:Morrisseau family foundation discussing their criminal plans and activities. It’s really gross what these Morrisseau children and family members are guilty of. An ugly mess of forgery, crimes, drugs, alcoholism and raping their fathers legacy.
Next we have the dysfunctional white settler and fake Morrisseau art lover and collector in Jim White who is the brain child of white distribution and publishing. Responsible for polluting our woodland school of art with thousands upon thousands of fake prints, his collection of fake Morrisseau paintings, this guy is a self centred greedy old white man. His whole deportment stinks. Everything about him, grotesque. One of the biggest fools in the art business. Super gross what he is responsible for.
Next is this poor sap in Joe Otavnik. This guy bought dozens of fake Morrisseaus hoping against hope that he had hit the jack pot as well. Not. What happened here is these guys who bought these fake black drybrush Morrisseau paintings all got fucked. By who? A convicted serial rapist in none other than Gary Lamont who is currently awaiting criminal prosecution for yet again 3 more sexual assaults. This pig in Lamont just did 5 plus years in federal prison for being the fuckin skinner that he is and will always be. It’s so beyond pathetic and yet still all these settlers and Morrisseau collectors and dealers wait on pins and needles for the police investigation to produce criminal charges, some sort of results. But nothing....still.
Pictured here is chronic bullshitter and criminal conspirator in Wolf “small wille” Morrisseau standing with you guessed it, fake Norval Morrisseau Paintings. This guy is a sad sack of shit as well. Lying to anyone and everyone about him teaching big brother and historic sexual abuser in Norval to sign the back of these abominations in black drybrush paint in English. To help the white settler understand better...lol. Fuckin idiots around this whole thing. So pathetic what the lust for money does to a person. Yuck.
Pictured here: Benjiman “broken wing” Morrisseau. This idiot is such a lying dirt bag. Responsible for thousands of fake “uncle diddler” Morrisseau’s this poor and broken soul served the obsessive nature and desires of his filthy and disgusting habits. Unable to tell the truth, he continues hide out in Thunder Bay underneath some fuckin rock. What a complete piece of shit. Even now....just gross really.
Pictured here: Bryant ross who really is a personal let down for me. I used to like this guy as a friend and even did some business with him but yet again, ignorance, ego and pride got in the way with this guy. A man who served the needs of his historic sexual abuser friend and mentor in Norval Morrisseau, he continues to serve Gabe Vadas and the estate of Norval Morrisseau selling prints paintings and whatever else he can get his fuckin hands on. Including finishing off Morrisseau paintings in his studio out in Aldergrove BC.
Pictured here: White cultural appropriator in Ritchie “star dreamer” Sinclair. A Morrisseau puppet who would do just about anything to achieve art stardom. It’s sad when I really think about it. I actually kinda feel sorry for Ritchie. A proxy in fighting the Morrisseau art fraud, he too fell victim to the belief that Norval was some sort of “grand shyster shaman” bullshit. White people have a tendency to want to be us so bad, that their willing to sell their souls and create these fake identities and try to become these pretendians. It’s super fuckin weird grey owl shit. It’s sad...
Pictured here: Flake Angeconeb not knowing a fuckin thing about the spirit of the woodland school of art. A fame hungry and colonized appropriator, this guy has to be one of the biggest jokes in the woodland school. Bastardizing our art form with his misleading cartoon garbage and thievery of everybody else’s art except his own, he reminds me of a lost soul out at sea trying to plug the hole in his little dingy.
Without doing any research about the art fraud of Norval Morrisseau or the involvement of the criminal activities of the estate, he goes around kissing ass and polishing nuts to try and get ahead, to make a name for himself. It’s fuckin gross really. He reminds me of Ritchie Sinclair a little bit in that regard. It’s a pattern with this “toy” as well. He knows nothing of our culture except how to rub the colonizer the right way. This guy will always be an art prostitute in my books and someone who should’ve done his “research” when it comes to aligning yourself, your family and name to the historic sexual abuser in Norval Morrisseau. Now you see. You should’ve been smart and asked those of us who knew more about this reality then you did. But like the philosophy of the white colonized settler, it appears now that money fame and prestige were more important. What a waste of potential...
Now you’ve tied google, yourself and family to historic sexual abuse in Morrisseau. Let alone all the fraud, crime etc tied to the estate. You really are such a “TOY”. Real fuckin smart....goof.
Above google doodle a reference for what not to do when building a career around the arts. Do your research people. It’s the only way to move forward without tying yourself to this shit. Trust me, I too have learned. There will be more information coming forward with all of this soon. So stay tuned....all my relations, MAJ
Just a short but sweet and direct message. I fully stand by everything I’ve ever written here on this site. There are no lies and I only speak the truth. No matter how hard, difficult or challenging, you’ll hear it here right from me with no filter or any sugar coating whatsoever.
I stand in the light of truth. In the direct power of my culture. More to come...All my relations, MAJ
Enjoy this track by Nox Vahn and Joesph Ray titled: Inhibitions
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
Good evening to each and everyone and I sincerely wish you a happy new year for 2023. Recently there have been huge and dramatic shifts for me and some others I’ve met concerning the legacy of Norval Morrisseau. I’m 100% finished. I’ll never be able to look at or enjoy Norvals art the same ever again.
Holding up the myth, the icon and so-called legend has been completely destroyed. I’ll never see him in that light again. I was fooled to believe many things but that time is over. These new revelations have shifted that like no other force could.
It’s fuckin devastating and those responsible will definitely be held accountable. There is no turning back from this truth. The legacy has been a gross fuckin lie propelled by mostly the white settler and unfortunately many of us First Nations as well. But indeed what is coming must be told. It must be shared. For after all, these are our stories. This is our space.
More to come...stay tuned. All my relations, MAJ
P.S: Fuck you to the entire estate of Norval Morrisseau. Blocking me from sharing the truth on your stupid fb page only proves that it is you clowns who have everything to hide. Wait and see....your fucked.
I am going to outline several points of clear cut evidence that this liar in Cory Dingle is not the right fit for the estate of Norval Morrisseau. There will be a major shift coming in this regard of the actual estate itself. As many of you know, I have always been honest and straight forward with each and everyone of you regarding my knowledge and experiences of this investigation. I had a falling out with Cory Dingle this past weekend. I’ll share with you why:
1: Dingle isn’t fit for the role of CEO because he has a major personal invested interest, financially. I know that he has amassed a collection of roughly 200 to 250 Morrisseau paintings.
2: How did he amass such a collection? He used the Morrisseau fraud as an opportunity to buy paintings when the market was in an upheaval regarding the fakes. He used a fake indigenous identity in gizhemanidoo@gmail.com scouring the Internet like kijiji, ebay, Craigslist, auction houses, Facebook for deals on buying paintings.
3: He bought when people were selling during the fraud investigation at rock bottom prices taking advantage of the market in disarray. He was literally preying on the weak Morrisseau collector/owner during this time.
4: At the time he was no expert whatsoever in Norval Morrisseau art. Never was and never will be. He relied on John Zemanovich, Ritchie Sinclair and me to authenticate what he was finding on the internet through his fake indigenous identity. I have dozens and dozens of email communications around these activities.
5: He has a dark history with Morrisseau involving drugs, perverted sex, extreme alcoholism, working on Morrisseau paintings himself when he was a young teenage boy in White rock, BC (early 1990’s)
6: Infact he told me a story as a youth with Morrisseau, building him a wooden “fuck chair” with a 2 foot carved wooden dildo as the centrepiece of this bizarre sexual contraption. During this time Morrisseau was a complete fuckin mess getting people around him to secure sexual relations with young sex workers and gay drug addicts. (Many of them underage and illegally obtaining their services)
7: He is a white settler who unfortunately doesn’t know the size and scope of the woodland school of art. He is no expert on Morrisseau art. He doesn’t know our legends and teachings. He is an exposed liar with self serving motives. He can never be trusted because of his financial interests in safe guarding his Morrisseau collection.
8: He is insulting. He is ignorant and cannot be trusted. This past weekend he tried to get me on board with the estate. I was willing to help but then I caught him in an outright lie. I cannot and will not align myself with that. That was his first mistake with me regarding this. So naturally I was offended. He then proceeded to tell me that he’d run right over me and that I have mental issues and that I’m really angry. He went on to say that I need help and that he gave me his so-called psychological opinion on me. What a fuckin joke this guy is. Really.
9: He went to say during our text message discussions this weekend that I caused significant loss for the estate financially. He said he had 2 deals fall through for over $140,000.00 because of my articles on this site explaining that those clients didn’t want to buy after reading about the criminal involvement of Christian Morrisseau. Which is fact. Which of course will be exposed in the national criminal police investigation when that time and space happens.....soon.
10: Hanging me out to dry like that when I’ve been the most consistent person investigating this art fraud and not placing that loss or it’s blame on the Morrisseau family foundation, the estate of Norval Morrisseau, Maslak Mcleod gallery, Kinsmen Robinson gallery in toronto, hundreds of shady dealers in fraud, and fake paintings and their crimes was and is gross negligence of the truth. To pull that move? A big fuck you to Cory Dingle, you dirty and filthy rat.
Last week I did a deal with selling this Norval Morrisseau painting. It came right to my art studio and was here for a week. I believe that spirit brought this painting to me for several reasons. I’ve been sober for over 24 years now so when it comes to spiritual things happening to me, I can see them. That’s one of the many gifts of sobriety. This painting is titled in pencil on the back: Norval and gabe. Early 1990’s...how ironic.
Any how I first thought that maybe Norval was sending me this in a way to wanting me to reconcile with Gabe and the estate. But that is more wishful thinking and behind this is a much more dark, sinister and horrifying reality. Because truthfully? There is a much more hidden and darker story to this painting arriving in my presence. A story that I’ve been hesitant to tell because it also involves me and what direction I must go in to truly set this record straight, once and for all. What will be...the final chapter.
I am surrounded by really good people these days. I’m happy to be living my life out here in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. My son is the whole reason why I left Vancouver in 2017 to come out here and raise my child in the pure glory of our Mother Earth. We are doing really well and my son is the centre piece of my entire life. Everything I do is truly for him and for the future generations of our people the great Anishanabe.
We are a people that are strong, resilient and will never surrender to the evil and wicked ways of colonialism. We are healing, from this generation unto the next. There is going to be some really big changes coming to the world of Norval Morrisseau art. As I stated in the last article I had written, this will indeed be a legacy changing event and will alter the course of Norval Morrisseau’s legacy. It must be done because the Creator and the ancestors say it so. Even the soul of Norval Morrisseau knows what’s coming on the horizon...
That time is now upon us. For the real truth to come out. For the final chapter of this story to be written. For the entire world to see. So that those left behind can truly heal from what is about to be discovered.
Stay tuned because these next series of articles are going to blow the whole world away...
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
I agree that this new bill - C21 has a whole lot of issues and problems with it. I also don’t agree with the government of Canada trying to take away more of our rights and protections. Be weary of those who choose to sell their souls to the government.
The government of Canada for multi generations now has been guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity. They have long been an instrument of abuse, scandal and utter horror to our people. It’s a shame so deep that most Canadians have really no clue how or why they got what they got. They don’t even understand the concept of white privilege they’ve been so bamboozled.

Colonialism is the great evil from the time of discovery to now. This plague continues to go on and on and on...Sadly. Hope is a strange thing sometimes. Even in these times we must continue to stand for what is right and what is true. Even though I’m not into guns and prefer other ways of catching food in the bush etc, I still feel that we must be able to protect ourselves and those we love with the integrity of our rights. I for one stand with that, the truth of survival. The truth of protecting our loved ones and families. All my relations MAJ
Good evening. Blessings moving forward and wishing wellness and healing to each and everyone. Thank you for all the kindness and support and here’s to better things ahead. Indeed this exhibition is about just that, moving forward. We must continue to find new paths and open new doors towards one another. This process of truth and reconciliation hasn’t been an easy one.
This project is about pushing forward with healing energy and power. Here in the 21st century we must continue finding new ways of creating space and dialogue in honour of the healing, the awareness and wisdom of reconciling our history. So that today can be a better place for our people. To learn to live in harmony together for the future. It starts with every single one of us. Any how, thanks for simply just understanding. We heal together. For the future...
All my relations and I’ll leave you with a quote from FB:
I didn’t even want to do this exhibition because of my awareness regarding genocide to us Indians from the hands of Canada and many of their institutions.
Finally I thought about the residential school children and thought to myself with them in prayer:
The art and our culture is the bridge to healing these wounds.
Let this be a channel through truth and reconciliation to help bridge the gap.
It’s the main reason why I did the line in the first place. Not only did I want indigenous peoples working with my designs but I and the souls of the children envisioned white old ladies and immigrants from all over the world who call our land home, working together. Creating “good medicine”.
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.
Enjoy this 2 hour set by Artbat from the Ukraine playing in Rio de Janeriro Brazil.
