Questions the media should be asking the estate of Norval Morrisseau once my lawsuit is filed…

 

Artist: Francis Horne. Tribe - Coast Salish. Title of mask: Shamans transformation 

Good evening to each and everyone and it’s been a heck of a summer with lots of action manifesting. So as some of you are aware, I finished off my statement of claim and the law firm representing me is putting everything together. The finishing touches so to speak. Much like the mask I posted here by Francis Horne, it has been a very difficult and challenging process digging up these truths I’ve discovered around the historic sex crimes of Norval Morrisseau. Dealing in both life and death and finding this information has on most days taken its toll. It’s super stressful, ugly to look into, challenging to bring these truths forward but is no doubt the absolute right thing to do. I fully understand how hard it is to come forward and expose these experiences. 

From having once felt proud and honoured to have met Norval and those around him to now having complete disdain for his art and legacy. The amount of lies and cover ups go deep. I never wanted to be involved in something like this. This whole undertaking happened to me. I was gonna find my own way through it I suppose until I discovered a total of 7 victims including myself with more to be revealed. That’s usually how it goes with these historic sex crimes from the past. More people and their stories find the light of day. It certainly takes a whole lot of courage and self determination to plow one’s way through it all. This has been my experience. 

The reality that I now know and carry is that propping up sexual abusers as cultural icons is 100% wrong. I’ve also come to understand that if I don’t speak up and speak out about it, that probably nothing would get done and that these accounts would be lost in the history of time. Something that unfortunately happens to many. I had to make a serious commitment to this reality. After working with one of my hero’s in Dallas Thompson and the 4 other survivors who brought Gary Lamont to justice, this truth in me lingered on and on. It interrupted so many facets of my daily life. I couldn’t just push it down any further in me. I have had to face the facts that what happened to me is sexual assault. I never asked for Norvals hand to be down my pants touching my ass. It is my belief that Gabe Vadas was the architect of this experience. He facilitated this to happen for Norval because that’s who Norval Morrisseau was and will always be. A piece of shit sexual abuser. 

Pictured here: Gabe Vadas painting Norval Morrisseau paintings (hundreds of them) image sourced from his former wife, Michelle Vadas. 

Here are some questions I think the Canadian media should be asking both Gabe and his buddy in ding dong Dingle the current so-called ceo of this broken and highly dysfunctional estate. For example I know there are pictures that Norval took of a young Gabe, I seen them, I know who has them with Gabe posing for Norval (his lover not his adopted father). Dozens and dozens of images. I remember Gabe Vadas telling me what it was like to get “poked by the shaman” (his words). On what planet is it ok for your so-called adopted father to have sex with his adopted son? Why has Gabe been lying about his true history with Norval Morrisseau? He was Norvals lover, that’s who he truly was. Until Gabe wanted out, he wanted a wife and family. But before that? Norval the sex predator found Gabe on the streets as a young street hustler. It’s all made up shit about the so-called adoption. That was a cover up. With the amount of manipulation and game playing that those 2 are guilty of they had to forge a new way forward. The role of Gabe becoming manager and the new story of his adoption as father and son would become the way forward from that point on. But it isn’t the truth. He also had become Norvals pimp securing young and lost street boys from the downtown east side and other such neighborhoods where gay sex could be found and brought home to Norval. 

For years these were the rituals being performed in the studio of the so-called grand shaman of the Ojibway. They would smoke crack and do lines all night day after day and would drink themselves silly until Norval would pass out, shitting his pants and leaving his mess all over the place. Ask many who were there, they know. Cory knows. Gabe knew. The family knew, that’s why the resentments. Their roles in the art fraud of their sex predator father. His brothers knew, many in our First Nations communities knew too. What do they call it: unspoken truths. Exactly. It’s a major problem in many of our communities regarding sexual predators and many of them not being held accountable. Facing justice is not only difficult for the accused, it’s even harder for the victim/survivor. To put the weight of another’s sins, dirty deeds, sex crimes and such and force the victim to come forward is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of being a person who is a survivor. It’s not easy to hold these people accountable and having to walk through all these doors and explain yourself to people you don’t even know who are in these perceived roles of justice. Super difficult to do and being First Nations? Even harder. To have to humble yourself to such a degree in the pursuit of justice, incredible perseverance. 


As they say more will be revealed and that’s exactly what is going to happen with my lawsuit. I have found things that will no doubt shift the narrative on Morrisseau forever. To tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. As ugly as that will be. It will be done. I have told these discoveries to Cory Dingle when he took on the role of ceo. (A role he told me he begged Gabe for) He’s known about my claims for 3 years now and has done absolutely nothing to address it. He instead chose to tell me in my last phone conversation at that time that he was gonna roll right over me. (His words). Imagine what kind of person you have to be to deny my claims and then after that tell me that you’re going to run right over me? Or better yet, having that knowledge and choosing to deny it to every single person you’ve done business with on behalf of the Norval Morrisseau estate from then until now? 

He even went so far as sending the pedophile shaman artist to the moon, involving everyone who was apart of that including indigenous relations Canada, nasa, lunar codex, Elon musk who owns space x (that’s how it was flown in January of 2025). Imagine all the traditional First Nations grandmothers, mothers and daughters who all hold a sacred position with grandmother moon in that regard? 
How will they all respond when this info gets out? I can’t even look at the moon in the same light anymore. Cory dingle destroyed that for me. A white colonizer who chose this path rather than real truth and reconciliation. 

What about this so-called ceo in Cory ding dong dingle not telling the truth about my sexual assault claims then he decides it’s a great idea to do a truth and reconciliation art show with the untied church of Canada 
in Toronto Ontario? How would the united church feel knowing about that? Like Dingle in so doing, would just try and hide these sexual assault claims behind the cross of Jesus? Is that what truth and reconciliation looks like to you? How would this sit with the entire united church of Canada? I think most Canadians and first nations would agree that something has to be done.This matter needs to be addressed. It affects everyone who holds the moon sacred, our customs and culture. 


All those relationships he created since he became the ceo and not any of them truly knowing what was going on behind the scenes. That this story, my story and the 7 of us who were victims not being seen, not being heard and just being forgotten about. Does that look to you like someone you should be doing business with? 

What about the 2 schools named after Norval Morrisseau? His order of canada? All those things will have to be addressed at some point. It’s inevitable. Like Buffy Saint- Marie, I sense that those 2 stories will indeed have a lot in common. 

It’s as though I will have to be the one who has to come forward to shine the light on this. Once again, something I never asked for. That’s the hard part. I must and I will. I am ready. Unfortunately there will be names and their accounts that have to be spoken on, but that is the necessary reality when exposing such crimes. People will get hurt and it’s the unfortunate part of investigative journalism. The damages and the costs have been laid out in my statement of claim. My lawyer has figured out those realities. We are just a few days away from launching. I won’t be able to say much more on this matter and will have to pursue legal advice from here on in but there you have it. 

Im fully ready to go. See you in court.

The creative power of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) and the innovation being explored here @ Jacobson native art

 

Title of painting: Chiefs of the future - series 4. Size: 16 x 24 inches. 2024

Good evening and thank you for all the love and support behind the scenes going on in my life. I’m feeling grateful and ready to go. I’ve been busy developing different ideas into my woodland a.i concepts and I’m feeling tons of enthusiasm for some of these projects coming into fruition. I’ve got another 10 new images being developed and ready for new canvas paintings. That should be ready for pick up by next week. Feeling excited about this as these image prompts are spectacular to work with. Combining this technology with my work in woodland is totally new, fresh and inspiring. I welcome you to “Woodland A.I. 


I’m happy to also share that I finally got my will and testament written and legally worked out. That takes off a whole world of pressure and makes things precisely clear on how I want that to be settled for my son and his future. Having Jacobson bloodline family members as guardians of my estate for Sagein was paramount for the trust and commitment needed. I feel super confident in my choices around such a sensitive but necessary process. All of it being done in the colonial province of Ontario, my birthplace. What happened to some won’t happen to me. Even in the afterlife I’ll be keeping an eye on things. I feel secure in this knowledge. 
Prompt: Guardians of my estate @ Jacobson native art. 2025


Obviously this is just the bare necessities and a general outline but indeed it fully empowers my son as the CEO of Jacobson native art and fully acknowledges him as the source of carrying this legacy into future generations. His momma Kassondra will also play a critical role as she understands the very nature of this obligation. So with that worked out it gave me plenty of time and space to get my ducks in a row. Having clarity for my son is of the upmost importance. Like I often share he is the light of my world, the greatest teacher I have ever met and he’s just 7 years old. My boy….

Prompt: Nature and technology will find the way forward, together. 2025

I’ve got some new ideas that I want to try and experiment with and this prompt helps me to envision what that could look like. I want to see what I can do combining 3 art forms together as one. Something I’ve been dreaming to do and with A.I. as my creative apprentice, there is so much to explore in that realm. I’m excited to see what I’ll be able to do. These are such fun to play with and imagine. I suppose I’ll always love what I’ve accomplished in woodland style itself, mastering many of the masters before me. But this is something that only I can touch in this moment of time. Uncharted creative realms that even them would wish to play in. It’s exciting and thankfully separates me from the pack. No pun intended…lol. 

Prompt: Death to the war machine. 2025

This image prompt here will be a piece I build acknowledging the horror of war and my greatest wish for it to someday, end. I don’t like violence and in my view it is only necessary if someone really tries to fuck around. Self defence if all communication fails. The last resort if someone is trying to actually kill you. Then one must defend. Sad that I even have to say that but the reality is many simply cannot be trusted. They haven’t evolved. Their souls are stale. Their light dimmed. It’s a weakness. Violence. So I’ll attempt to put my voice into the mix sharing this future artwork as a statement of anti war, anti violence. I love the creative effect of how this robot turned out. The background is a bit wonky but I’ll strip all that away and redefine the image and paint my woodland style throughout it. 

It’s a powerful image, a powerful statement that I can make. This is where A.I. and I really get along. In co-creating and making art together. Of course I use it in many other ways as well but its primary function for me at this stage is making new art together that the world has never seen. That excites me. This moves me into undreamed of new worlds. I love A.I. for this reason and the creative collaboration and innovation is simply next level. In a lot of ways I’ve outgrown just regular woodland style. There’s only so much that can be done in that limited 2 dimensional realm. With woodland A.I the future is where I am now. It’s a spectacular new dimension to my work and creativity. 

More to come so please stay tuned as the future continues to unfold here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

On the balance of probabilities? It’s going down, bigtime. It’s gonna make your heads spin….

 

Prompt: The final battle between copper and Rainbow Thunderbird - 2025 


Here is what A.I had to say about this quote:

Albert Einstein’s quote “If I were to remain silent I’d be guilty of complicity” suggests that he believed speaking out against injustice or wrong doing is crucial. In essence, staying silent would make him complicit in the wrongdoing, implying that silence can be seen as tacit approval or acceptance. This quote highlights the importance of using one’s voice to stand up against injustices and promote positive change by telling the truth. Given your background in art and indigenous rights, you may think this quote is particularly relevant in the context of using your platform to raise awareness about such important issues.

I have to say that indeed my entire being resonates with this in every sense of its meaning. I will not hide my truth and story and I will expose everything I’ve discovered and found. Believe me if you have any doubts, go and ask Gary Lamont what it was like confronting and dealing with me? (Interesting how Creator put all of you on my path in real time) 

I’m not afraid of any of you. It was having to go through the colonial system that was my most difficult contemplation. Being a 60’s scoop and suffering from the continual oppression and effects of genocide by Canada was more of a challenge. I still have deep and embedded issues with that. The problem for you will be that I’m absolutely 100% willing to go all the way. I spent 20 years in this Morrisseau cesspool of absolute fuckin filth. Facing any of you in court will be a cakewalk. I have so much evidence that I have acquired along with first hand witnesses, truth tellers, affidavits, letters of support, placing the time and dates of the sex crimes, the human trafficking, detailed accounts of the sexual abuse that it’s going to be very very difficult to defend. 


And then my story. Which is absolutely appalling that none of you have even wanted to address or confront. You’ve gone on pretending like I don’t even exist. That’s fuckin shameful. Especially you, Dingle. I can’t wait to look you in the eyes, face to face, man to man. Same with you Gabe Vadas. You fuckin bullshitter of a human being. You have a lot of enemies for how you have behaved. Your time of hiding in the shadows will be over. With regard to sex predator Norval Morrisseau’s children? My fight really isn’t with you. But I know the stories about your brother David, what happened to him by your father and what David also did, his sex crimes as well. 


My advice to you kids is find a way to get rid of Gabe Vadas and the sooner you fire ding dong Dingle? The better. What these men are guilty of in my eyes and experience is pure and utter gross negligence. Imagine how many people will be up in arms doing business with the estate in this fashion? Knowing what I’m telling you but hiding this reality? Rather than shoot the pedophile artist on to the moon? You should’ve focused on the remaining matters down here on earth. There will be so much for you to do in cleaning up this entire mess. I also think that you children created a huge mess being involved in the fraud of your sex predator fathers works. You owe an apology to thousands of us woodland school artists, First Nations and Canadians and others worldwide for what you’re guilty of in regards to your involvement in the fraud. Shame on you. 

Pictured here: Eugene Morrisseau admiring a fake

I have found 7 victims so far that have to be accounted for. I have these stories and contacts and I have information that backs up my entire story and statement of claim. Make no mistake about it, I’m not here for any type of revenge or plot. I’m here to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me Creator. This is a mission of standing up for myself, for the fellow victims I’ve discovered and found and setting the record straight, once and for all. That on the balance of probabilities? I’m armed to the teeth with truth. 

More coming soon….Miigwetch. Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

P.S: you can deny my claims until the fuckin cows come home, but it’s the truth I hold that should very well concern you…😎

Continuing to work on new paintings and enjoying the magnificence of my boy, Sagein Wisdom

 

Title of painting: Spirits in love and loyalty. Size: 30 x 40 inches. Montreal, Que

Good morning to each and everyone and here’s to enjoying a spectacular summer vibe. Things are super busy and we’ve been a bit backlogged in certain aspects of the business. Our collections will be getting worked on with little giant productions out here in the Kootenay’s. As they say life happens and we’ve got lots of behind the scenes things in manifestation. Our focus is always moving forward and the research has been simply impeccable. 

The woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) is growing by leaps and bounds and our current 7 collections will be expanded on soon with another 6 coming into play. We’ve also got 4 new woodland collections to be added to the current 7 there. Our indigenous art box collection of the 4 seasons is also going to be back in full swing. Time, focus and execution are the energies being created and we look forward to sharing more soon. 

In honour of the visionary, the artist, the Creator

My son and I are getting a lot of time together this summer as I’ve decided to take a break from the gallery scenes I’ve been creating in the Kootenay region over the last 5 years. Been apart of putting together 3 spaces featuring indigenous art across Canada. Plus with amazing studio action as well. It’s been super awesome to be apart of that and spearheading indigenous art in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. My boy is thrilled each and every time we take the atv out for these incredible journey’s mountain hopping from one range to the next. The amount of space and freedom we have here living in this community of only 350 souls is incredible. Each day diving right into the heart of our Mother Earth. It’s phenomenal. 

Super busy no doubt but making quality time for my boy each and every day is the essence of why we chose to live out here. I scouted this area just a couple years before living here and absolutely fell in love with the vibe. Super grateful and indeed things are rollin along precisely as they should. More to come so stay tuned and enjoy this latest piece I finished this morning.

Just another day of mastering the masters @ Jacobson native art in the summer of 2025

 

Title of painting: Natures guardianship. Size: 30 x 48 inches. 2025

Good morning to each and everyone and I sure hope many of you are enjoying the beautiful energy of summer. We’ve been very busy and I’m feeling great about getting back to my commissions list. Slowly getting through the process and finding more time to get back into the creative swing of things. I’ve been working on a whole new bunch of woodland A.I. paintings as well. With me I like to have several projects going on at the same time. Keeps me in the flow and I also have periods where the artist needs to rest. Focus on other tasks and situations that are going on for me as well.

This painting is going to another fabulous collector who has bought several paintings over the last 18 months. I’m honoured and grateful for the amazing blessings and opportunities. Life is definitely taking on new meaning and I’ve found a new level within me no doubt about it. I’m very excited for what awaits in the near future. The time and space has arrived on my journey and there is revolutionary change upon the horizons. These are no doubt exciting times. 

Enjoy this new release and indeed we’ll be building new collections around this masterpiece. With new worlds of inspiration and innovation taking shape there is a whole new vastness of clarity and focus manifesting in my life. There will be much more to come so thank you for staying in the loop here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Proud to announce my 3rd fabric collection coming in 2026 @ Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art

 



Good afternoon and here’s to enjoying the beautiful energy of summertime and the bountiful energy of Mother Earth. Things are moving along and I’m super proud to bring forth our 3rd fabric collection with Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art. With the amount of creativity and amazing energy that was created with our first collection in “Healing waters” and the second collection in “Sacred earth”, here we bring you a glimpse in to the future with our 3rd collection in the Changing seasons. 

We’ve been super focused on this particular release because we wanted to find a way to make the 4 seasons tied into one beautiful collection. I definitely think we pulled it off and a big shoutout to the creative team with Northcott. Everything pulls together wonderfully and this is no doubt one of our finest. Feeling happy and content with this outcome and I’m looking forward to its full release in January 2026. We have so many exciting events and situations being made manifest. Indeed there will be much revelation as we move forward throughout the changing of these seasons. Just want to send a message of thank you to all the wonderful people who keep showing up in my life, family and business. So many exciting people becoming apart of our sacred circle here @ Jacobson native art. 






It’s an exciting journey in the creative arts and this applies to both the good times and bad, but over the last 4 decades I’ve been privileged to create some incredible magic. I really enjoy how I can let others experience my art in unique and personal ways. To open up doors of opportunity and interaction. That through these unique partnerships I can afford many others to literally touch the fabric of my art, my soul. It’s a phenomenal vibe and I truly love to see how others create with my art. Enjoy some of these examples here and once again chi-Miigwetch for all the good medicine being shared. It definitely helps when one is true and pure who tells it as it is and is fighting the good fight. More to come….

I now feel healthy, strong, focused and ready to go. The time for preparation and execution is now at hand….

 

Prompt: I am my own power. The future of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) 

Wishing many of you a beautiful weekend of strength, hope, love and healing. The summer is rollin along wonderfully and after many months of doubt, struggle, sadness and grief, I feel different. Something has dramatically shifted and changed. The big fear has always been trusting this colonial system and having to walk through doors that essentially tried to destroy me. Putting any kind of faith in a system that hardly gets true justice. It’s such a risk to have to do that. The embarrassment of my struggle, the anger and frustration of not being taken seriously by some and outright being ignored and made small in the eyes of the liars. That time is over. 

I am willing to go all the way. No matter what happens or how it turns out. I must walk through those doors. I’m not afraid to go all the way through. To walk through the darkness and expose and bring those discoveries to light. For everyone to see. To expose everything that I have learned and discovered. Not only is it not fair to the truth of who I am, but it is not fair to the masses who simply don’t  know. I believe that this burden of truth is my responsibility to endure. To educate. To share with the world. I have a team of people who truly believe me. Who believe my story and who agree that a greater light must be shed on everything that I know. That requires others to help me. I believe I have found that help. Truly exceptional souls who stand on my side and in my corner. 

I feel like I’ve found a new level and what has been festering in me for quite some time now has a place and time to be sorted out. I have an opportunity to open it all up. Everything that has happened and how it’s effected me. I never fully understood the loneliness of this entire journey and having to strip all those false people who were around me, away. Big changes and a ton of letting it go. Like a surrender. That I needed help from others in different places. Well that help is here. It has arrived and I feel honoured, grateful and thankful for souls who can connect with me and represent many of my interests. The time for revolution is here. The time for execution is at hand. I am my own power. My own sovereignty as Anishanabe. Proud to be who I am. Proud to overcome and come to terms with this next journey that will be the biggest storm of truth that I’ve embarked upon. Things need to change. I am the courage to change the things I can. I am the wisdom to know the difference. 


After everything I’ve experienced, seen, witnessed and processed….it’s time. Im ready to move forward and to confront the lies, deceptions and ignorance that has had many still sleepwalking. What was it that the great author in Stephen King had once said: 

The trust of the innocent is the liars most useful tool. 

Well, that’s going to change. I’ve seen enough. I’ve been through enough. I’ve had enough of watching the colonizer shit show unfolding throughout our woodland school. I have gathered a ton of information and stories and I have been vocal enough to question the myths and confront the truths. I’ve shone light on the lies and have uncovered facts that will expose that legacy for what it is. Change is upon us. I will be the instrument of that change. I never asked for any of this, it happened to me. I got to see it for what it really is….a lie. 

More to come and Miigwetch for the future. Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Sending out blessings of wisdom on national indigenous peoples day this June 21st, 2025

 

Title of painting on canvas: Good chief / bad chief - which will you choose to be

Happy national indigenous peoples day to all my friends and family. A big Miigwetch of love and respect to many of my art fans and collectors and I am so blessed to have dedicated people who surround me each and every day. I am honoured that I can speak the truth and to continue trudging this road of life and destiny. I’ll be celebrating 27 years off the booze and I’m super grateful for this blessing. It has changed my life so dramatically and obviously has introduced me to a vast knowledge and know how in spirituality. My sovereignty as an Anishanabe culture creator/artist lighting the way for 40 plus years now. What a ride so far in this the 21st century. 

Pictured here: my son and I receiving our 60’s scoop quilt from Quilts for survivors 

Just feeling some gratitude for what is working in my life. The love for my son and being a good partner to his mom and us working on the healing and freedom through decolonization of being solid in our family unit starts there each and every day. The foundation of our family is we walk in a softer, kinder and gentler way each and every day. Freedom to be ourselves and giving one another all the space in the world to be ourselves. We don’t practice control, zero violence, no manipulation, speak freely, always room to grow, have fun, be genuine. 

Having the space to be your own genuine self in your family is absolutely essential. No one wants to be told what to do, arguing is pointless. Being a good listener who follows up with positive actions and walks with self honesty and integrity is where it’s at. We have one another’s back. Every day. It’s pretty awesome and inspiring learning how to be healthy and strong together. I love my family. They love me. We’re cool. 

Here are a few good teachings to practice and try to live by. 

1: Be honest. Be authentic. It’s the light of your spirit.
2: Daily prayer and meditation keep the mind clean & quiet.
3: Anishanabe ways work. Use them. It’s good medicine.
4: It doesn’t matter how others think of you. It matters how you think of you.
5: Gratitude is powerful. It helps to transcend suffering.
6: Observance of source in all things. Hard to do when humans can be horribly ugly.
7: Nurturance of life. Give, share, nurture others, kindness and respect. 

Pictured here: our indigenous soul sister in Star & her daughter @ Jacobson native art

Once again I say chi-Miigwetch for all the good being created and shared with us and I look forward to continuing to share much more over the next few months. We’ve got some very exciting things waiting to be shared and we continue to expand our creative vision and blueprint. Here’s to the healing of all First Nations people and I’m thankful to continue to be an authentic source for truth and reconciliation and I appreciate many of you so very much. Stay tuned as we’ve got more to share…

Indigenous observations of what’s happening around the world and here domestically @ Jacobson native art

 

No doubt that the current state of affairs both here domestically and around the world are getting as crazy as it’s ever been. Reflecting on the total weirdness of the G7 and having a convicted felon and sex criminal in president Donald j. Trump cross the boarder illegally, (according to Canadian law) lol and show up here is bizarre to say the least. The colonial rule of law is pathetic and obviously is designed to serve the colonizer. What a complete shit show having to be in the presence of that and accept that reality. They call themselves world leaders but it is apparent that this is truly not the case. As a sovereign Anishanabe I am thankful and grateful that these people do not represent me. Nor do they speak for me. They speak for their own colonial interests and agendas. Truly bizarre how they say one thing but do another. That is not integrity, that is not honesty. It’s a total taking advantage of their own rules as outlined in the colonial playbook. Total sell outs. Zero backbone. Weak in character and principles. Talk about getting on your knees…holy fuck it’s super gross. 

I am so thankful I do not put my trust or faith in any of these institutions or individuals. Talk about rotten fruit and gross negligence when it comes to being principled. Such a vile snake like energy. It’s embarrassing to witness this as a human being and even more magnified as an indigenous soul. This is parasitic on stolen Indian lands. Building your empty fuckin dreams on the continual filth of your actions and self grandiose empires. Yuck. What a letdown globally to witness this in the 21st century, still killing one another over resource extraction, power and control, political and religious war mongering, child starvation, global warming, land grabs, land theft, child sex trafficking, rape, murder and pivoting towards world destruction. 

Right.

That’s power. This is the greatest in human achievement thus far. Think about that? Is that ever fucked right up. It’s quite obvious the world needs a new plan moving forward. A cleansing of these barbaric behaviours and actions. This is a major reason as to why we live up here deep in the Kootenay Mountains of B.C. Hidden away from much of this craziness. Thank goodness we are here. Living our lives in the heart of Mother Earth, learning how to be Indians again. Decolonization is the way out. Fuck these old and dying systems. They gotta go including many of these dark and ugly colonial constructs. Fuckin gross.

Regarding the new prime minister of Canada in Mark Carney? We’ll see buddy. I’ll be paying some attention to how you conduct yourself and your government with our people’s. As an indigenous soul who sees myself as a true sovereign Anishanabe on my own lands, I’ll be keeping an eye on things. Actions speak louder than words. We’ll see…

Wasn’t very smart of Dougie Ford opening up his trap and spewing his racist rhetoric about hat and hand. You are on INDIAN LAND motherfucker. All you settlers only have what you have because of us. Without us you’d all be fuckin homeless, broke, hungry and in need of shelter. The treaty’s give you a way to be here through us first and foremost, and the crown. You must honour these guidelines and teachings. You’re all guests here. My ties to this land go back tens of thousands of years. For millennia. It’s a connection to this land that supersedes anything colonial or Canadian. It’s rich with such depth and history. It cannot be erased. It lives in our heartbeats. It pumps through our hearts with a wisdom only an Indian soul can truly know and understand.  That is what ancestral means. It’s deep in our d.n.a. We are the land. We’ll never be separate from it as the world is coming to understand. I still believe in real truth and reconciliation but we are a long long way from making good on that. I’m not down with bill C-5 either. That needs to be confronted and dealt with on a much higher plain. 


Same can be said of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Fuckin gross and greedy land grab and it’s beyond shameful regarding Putin being called a world leader. Disgusting. The forces behind this war are also guilty of murder. No honour for life. No caring either for or about the human being. Sad to witness this in my lifetime. You’d think world war 2 would’ve been enough. You’d think the history, torture and pain of those experiences would shift humanity to much higher levels and frequencies. Not. Super disappointing to watch these events go down. It’s embarrassing as a human soul and super discouraging.  Such a lack of love, respect and honour for life. It’s beyond horrific. So heinous. 


Last but not least, the war crimes of Israel and their sick and twisted justifications for destroying Gaza and the Palestinians. Fuckin hideous. Now, bombing the fuck out of Iran. It’s disgusting. The Jews have become the new nazi regime of the 21st century. Who the fuck woulda thought that we’d see this. Right out of hand. Justifying genocide and watching it all play out in front of the world in 4K. Like holy fuckin shit. It’s so grotesque and destructive. Murdering bastards. The whole fuckin lot of them. This also includes any and all terrorist organizations worldwide.There is no doubt that on a world scale, we are super lost in the abyss as human beings. We’ve gone way too far over the edge. Stunningly, many of us watch and can do nothing. I get it. It’s so ugly and disgusting, this machine.

What a complete letdown on our collective humanity. I have to admit, I cannot bring myself to say all my relations anymore…I don’t want to relate to this…or to that. We can do way better than this.

We live here so we can envision the contemporary futuristic concepts of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) a new indigenous art form

Pictured here: A.I. prompt of when 2 worlds collide - the magic of woodland A.I. 

Good evening to each and everyone and it’s a pleasure to share in some of the new foundations I’ve created that have never before been seen in the entire woodland school of art. My new indigenous art genre has no doubt separated me from the rest of the pack and I’ve invented a whole new framework of experiencing the essence of the art form. Moving from the traditional storytelling of the past, I’ve leaped into undreamed of new worlds, new galaxies and deep into the mysteries of the universe. Art is first and foremost visual and to take what I’ve shaped in the woodland art form for over 40 years now and move it into these completely new visionary contexts is absolutely transformational. It’s new energy. It’s new life. It’s new storytelling. 

That is the new foundation I have laid down through Woodland A.I. To collaborate with this new technology and bring forth a new way of seeing the future through my indigenous lens, feels phenomenal. We live up here in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. and our vastness of space and time here is immense to say the least. My son and I get to play undistracted and free. There is usually no one back in these mountains to impinge upon our sovereignty. It’s clean, clear and full of natural abundance and spirit. It’s quiet and serene. The creative imagination and playfulness of my boy and I gives us so much freedom to just be father and son. Hanging out in all of this and playing in our backyard is pure creative bliss. We are building heavenly kingdoms in our hearts and souls together. There is no doubt that my son inspires me like no other. He is the center of my life, the joy of my heart and my greatest teacher. 

Being here and being ever present in his daily life is also the creative energy that gave birth to this new art movement in woodland A.I. It all happened during his 7 years so far of being alive. It’s like a gift he brought to me. So for that, I’m eternally grateful. He absolutely loves this new form and is a big part of the inspiration that makes it all happen…

A.I. image prompt: In another dream, it’s a different future for Mukwa 

These new image prompts have given me a new look into how I can merge the 2 worlds of nature and technology together. We chose the apex predators of grizzly bears and cougars which are boss up here where we live. Obviously I’ll tweak these images and make some adjustments when getting them prepped for canvas. I’ll build from there. This is the future. We will no doubt be collaborating with A.I. to find ways of saving ourselves and nature from extinction. This is why the elements of the earth, air, water and fire have brought forth this gift to humanity. It will be our responsibility to protect the natural world and to work with our technological know how to implement solutions for all life upon the earth, water and skies. For me? It’s a gift…A.I. 

These new ideas and concepts are the lifeblood of what I’m trying to communicate in this new indigenous art form in woodland A.I. There is no going back. I have found my new creative language and I have found new teachings to bring forth for the whole world to see and experience. Of course there are those who still love my woodland style and I’ll continue to serve them through the process of commissions etc. but my heart is here. I can do things that I never could do before with this new creative collaboration. I am forever thankful that I took this leap of faith and was daring enough to bring something forward the world has never seen…welcome to Woodland A.I. 

Miigwetch and all my relations. More to come…

Sharing some good energy and vibes during national indigenous history month here @ Jacobson native art

 

Hello to each and everyone and thank you for all the good medicine being shared and we are deeply grateful for all the special vibes being explored with us here @ Jacobson native art. We are back to building our collections and making new limited edition prints on canvas. We are also proud to announce our invitation to the Banff centre for the arts and creativity virtual art market during what is national indigenous history month from June 1st to June 30th, 2025. We will be showcasing our creativity and collections with other fantastic artists like Mike Alexander, Jessica Somers, Laird Goulet and others. 

I feel good about this project and it’s a beautiful place to live and visit in Banff as I used to live there for about 10 months back in 2001. I throughly enjoyed my time there studying nature spirit up close and personal when I was living in Toronto Ontario at that time. It was a wonderful break from the daily grind of city life. Such a gift to be apart of national indigenous history month as we continue to heal through the process of decolonization. 


Our gratitude and appreciation runs deep to see some of these Canadian institutions learning how to get it right when it comes to indigenous representation. I support this movement of truth and reconciliation across our lands as Anishanabe. Slowly I am seeing more of an awakening as we continue to share and educate across turtle island. That indeed does help me heal. There is still much ignorance and denial but rest assured the truth is getting out there. The cultural fabric of this landscape is beginning to wake up and we must continue to shine the light on these realities. I’m also happy to see the amazing feedback we are receiving from our collections being designed with little giant productions and us here @ Jacobson native art. People are truly appreciative of our level of quality and style. It’s one of the great features of what we do here bringing each of you the very best in quality and standards. 

On that note I say chi-Miigwetch to everyone who continues to embrace us here and I am honoured to be representing the truth of my culture and art forms. We strive to be a source of honesty and strength as we move forward. We welcome you to the national indigenous history month and we wish you a healthy journey of exploration and understanding. All my relations…

Both Dallas and I were recently contacted by the CBC podcast series on the Morrisseau art fraud, we turned them down. Here’s why….

 

Good evening to each and everyone. Things have been quite busy behind the scenes recently and I’ve been working on new deals and working out some problems in that process. Our printer is currently down at little giant productions so we are working out those kinks. The seasons are shifting and changing beautifully up here in the Kootenay mountains. Both Dallas and I were recently contacted about the stupidity of the Morrisseau art fraud shit and were contacted by Zoe Tennant and Adrian Stimson. People we don’t even know and who truly are clueless about the depth, size and scope of that reality. 

The way we feel about it is why would either of us want to be exploited yet again by people looking to capitalize on our story and our role within that?  It doesn’t make any sense for us. We have both declined to be interviewed by this colonial and shady operation. It simply boils down to strangers trying to put on the cape and capitalize on our suffering and struggles. Not interested. It was a super embarrassing energy dealing with their lack of knowledge and understanding. It’s like beating a fuckin dead horse. Morrisseau was a child sex abuser who also tried to abuse me and these people just want to talk about what happened for the empteenth time. Not the real story being shared and that is unfolding in real time here @ Jacobson native art. 

The producer was trying to contact me and mentioned in an email how anytime as soon as possible would be great for her to connect. Meanwhile in the phone conversation today she mentions how she never checked her spam folder for the last few days. Just really unprepared and ignorant in my view. I mean, if you can’t even check your own emails for days on end? Who the fuck wants to be interviewed by you? Not us. 

There’s a new wave of truth coming and they can’t even talk about that because of their colonial system and it’s bizarre rules and regulations. It was insulting that they just wanted to reminisce about the dead pedophile art fraud. Fuckin gross really and weak in reporting and how they structure their story telling. We don’t want to be exploited by these strangers. I mean, who the fuck are these people any how? Looking to make a buck off of our pain and suffering. We just went through that with the stupid movie, the police investigation, the Canadian media etc.

What an ugly feeling dealing with such low energy care and compassion. Reminds me of the sickness and denial of the truth regarding the Norval Morrisseau estate. Good luck with your stupid shitty podcast. We have other things cooking and don’t need any of what this garbage brings to our table. Good luck knuckleheads with your horrible finesse and shitty strategy in getting true warriors like us, to talk with you. 

You’ll be telling the same colonized version the Canadian media has been spitting out since this all came to fruition…( How white colonizers became the hero’s lol ) 

You bring nothing new to our circle. Good bye.

Sincerely, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ
