Our heart and soul is beginning to heal now around the trauma of recovering our residential school children...

 

It sure has been a very challenging and difficult journey over these last 14 months going through this deep and dark trauma of discovering all these murdered children across our stolen lands...known as colonial Canada. Many of these children are still yet to be discovered. This has been a challenging time processing all of this. I feel as though I am beginning to come to terms with this horrific reality. The emotional scaring has been so difficult to examine and feel. In honour of these beautiful children I had to go through it to truly understand my relationship to this. What it means to me as an Anishanabe, a 60’s scoop survivor, a direct descendent of the horror of residential schools.  

In the second photo above is a ceremonial letting go and turning my back on anything and everything, Christian. I took all of these items and references out of my home 5 years ago, said a prayer to the CREATOR and dropped down a tobacco offering. It was done as part of my spiritual journey to decolonize. This act symbolizes my cutting these ties permanently and completely surrendering to my Indianess, my sovereignty as an Anishanabe soul here on our land, my land. I’ve also made the commitment 5 years ago as well to never step inside a church ever again. Never. I’m absolutely and 100% done. The roots must be completely severed from the abuser in order to completely surrender to the healing and move on. That is my experience. 

And so it is and so it will be, focusing on the new path forward. Believing in the future of my people, our healing and wellness being the seat of the soul so to speak. Trying to be an example of the power rather than a power of example. Creator spirit is this light I am speaking to. Although this year has been a really challenging one for so many effected by these tragedies we will continue to heal and find new and meaningful ways to come together and work as a family should, the human family. We all can benefit from learning how to be more loving towards one another. In honour of the souls of these children I will continue to try and be a better me each and every day. Sending love and healing to everyone who needs it...all my relations, MAJ

What a cold and shitty experience dealing with this guy: Det. Jason Rybak of the Thunder Bay police concerning the Morrisseau art fraud

For the record: (Historical and legacy, education, sharing my truth)

 I can remember the first time these cops got a hold of me. Calling me up and being all friendly and trying to be extra courteous and all because they wanted to interview me about my knowledge and experiences with Norval Morrisseau and what I knew of the fraud. By this time they were a year into the investigation. (By this time 2020 it had been 15 years for me) Oh ya, let me not forget by mentioning that the Thunder Bay police and OPP only got interested because of the movie There are no fakes. We spent years trying to get the Canadian police forces involved including the rcmp and before the movie came out, they couldn’t find enough evidence to charge anyone. (Not only that, the Ontario superior court had sided with the fraudsters making those fakes legit in the eyes of the rule of law)

And let’s get this straight, the only reason why the movie happened was because of Dallas Thompson and I getting together and Dallas becoming the first person to testify about the abuse he suffered from that total piece of shit in Gary Lamont. Everything springs from that moment. The movie, the investigation and getting a serial rapist arrested, charged and convicted of several sexual assaults in lamont. 

It’s amazing how when putting this story into the hands of others, they all wanna take credit, control the narrative. (Same can be said of the Canadian media) It’s not only quite disturbing, but truly reflects the selfish and self centred nature of the colonizer. So yes, this Morrisseau investigation has been a super ugly and absolutely shitty experience, including dealing with these colonized coppers. 

After our 5 hour interview I specifically got into great detail about Kinsmen Robinson gallery selling a different style of fakes known as the PC fakes. I went through the books “Travels to the house of invention, the second book as well, return to the house of invention which have those fakes I’ve mentioned here. It was weird when Det. Jason Rybak told me after the interview that they’d be focused on primarily dealing with the black drybrush fakes. I was taken back by that comment. Because I know that there are roughly 10 to 12 different waves of Morrisseau fakes. 

Example of those PC Fakes pictured above on right:

I also made a comment about Lamont and that he’s a crazy sexual predator and that living out in the mountains was a safe bet for my little boy and I out here. He told me not to worry that Lamont has “no juice left”. He’s lost a ton of weight and has no street credentials. That was in November of 2020. It’s now June of 2022 and Lamont since being released from prison has been rearrested 3 times now for raping again including rape with a weapon, a knife. No juice left? .....Right. 

But there he is out fuckin raping people in the community. It’s absolutely gross. I had a phone conversation not 2 days ago and it was a cold and hostile experience. I mentioned about the thing with Lamont being released etc and Det. Jason Rybak tells me that he knows it’s shitty about Lamont being released but he says to me: It’s what society wants, to let him out. And so he reoffends.....right. Blaming society? Not blaming the rule of law? The colonizers system? I would think blaming society isn’t where Rybak should be pointing his finger. 

During that phone conversation he shows zero friendliness to me, he’s cold and abrupt and then hangs up on me. That’s how you treat one of the key figures in solving this crime? An indigenous artist? A 60’s scoop survivor? A person suffering from ptsd because of this fuckin Morrisseau shit? 

Right.

Fuck that, guy. People like you are users. What a letdown, it’s really sad and depressing. You use people and that’s exactly how I feel when dealing with you. Not only that, but your out of touch when it comes to your PR skills. You are super shitty dealing with people. That’s my experience. Your out of touch with what even truth and reconciliation looks like. You serve an ugly and genocidal master in Canada and the crown. That’s a fact. I knew in my heart trusting the likes of you would be a let down. It is all present in how our interaction was. Fuckin gross. That’s my truth. It’s no wonder the police forces up in ol dirty Thunder Bay have a major fuckin problem connecting with the community. 

Colonialism and Indians don’t mix. That’s the real truth behind this whole fiasco. I feel embarrassed that I’ve had to put myself through this. For what? For Norval Morrisseau? For his art? For his legacy? For my culture? For the truth? For justice?

What a complete fuckin joke dealing with all of this. Definitely the worst experience of my life. Dealing with the underbelly of colonialism Canada, the shadiness of it all. The selfishness of the colonizer in all their splendour...on stolen Indian land.

Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on 14 French open titles and for a total of 22 grand slam championships here @ Jacobson native art

Good evening and thank you for all the good vibes and energy over these last few months. The journey has been a grind in the arena of life but we find our way through by being persistent, motivated, dedicated and willing to do whatever it takes to get to the other side. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge tennis fan and absolutely love the game. 

I’ve been watching and playing it for years. I have learned a great deal from many of these athletes who play the game. I watch many of the interviews from both the winners and losers of these intense physical matches and different strategies. I’ve been a fan of Rafa since he burst on to the scene in 2005. He’s my favourite player of all time and it’s a privilege watching this guy compete. Ive learned a lot through the years and I am so impressed with what Rafa has achieved in the open era. 

So, with that, a special congratulations to Rafael Nadal for being the all time leader with 22 grand slam championships and for out pacing both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic (currently tied at 20 slams each) and doing what will probably never be achieved again at Roland Garros in Paris, France....14 titles alone in one of four grand slam events throughout the yearly tennis season. Absolutely incredible....VAMOS RAFA!

One of main suspects in Norval Morrisseau art fraud case (Gary Lamont in Thunder Bay) rearrested yet again for sexual assault x 2

 In another bizarre sequence of events, one of the main suspects involved in the creation, marketing and sales of fake Norval Morrisseau paintings called (the black drybrush) has just been rearrested and charged with 2 more counts of sexual assault, today. He was charged again just last week and before that, in January. It’s absolutely fuckin crazy why this piece of shit continues to get let out. He’s RAPING PEOPLE in Thunder Bay Ontario. He’s a serial rapist who cannot stop himself. 

It’s way too extreme allowing this habitual sexual predator to be rereleased into the community. Fuckin step up Thunder Bay. What is wrong with you?  Holy fuck already. Enough is enough. You guys have major energy to sort through up there. It’s really sad watching all this turmoil taking shape. It creates a real separation of trust and belief in the justice system. The racism needs to be fuckin gone from your thinking up there as well. Get it together...you all look really bad. 

This national police investigation headed by the OPP and Thunder Bay police needs to get to the finish line. It’s been far too long waiting for justice in the Norval Morrisseau art fraud investigation. It’s like being held hostage, really. I hate how long this is all taking. Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after fuckin year....

I think of Morrisseau these days and I just feel exhausted and uninspired. Waiting and waiting and waiting... and in the meantime Lamont continues his raping ways sexually abusing innocent people because of the very colonial system that allows for this injustice to perpetuate itself creating yet still, more victims in the process. 

It’s a fucked up world that we all live in. Sad but true...all my relations, MAJ 

Below image is a collage of the Gary lamont inspired black drybrush fake Norval Morrisseau rape paintings. It’s fuckin gross how this shit is still peoppered all over the Internet and Canadian art scene...

The Pentagon confirms that UFO’s also known as UAP”s are real. Disclosure is here...

Good afternoon to each and everyone. Last week was another pivotal move forward regarding the ufo uap phenomenon. I have been a believer for quite a while now and over the last 30 plus years I’ve experienced numerous encounters with strange moving lights, orbs dancing across the skies. I have had several different witnesses see them with me and have confirmed through these experiences that this phenomenon is legit. It’s real.

What it all means I certainly dont know, but the fact that mainstream media, the governments of the world are now getting on board with disclosure is a huge awakening, globally. They’re here. History has recorded this reality as well. Us First Nations have known about these relatives from star nation for millenniums. We are definitely in one of the most interesting times of unfoldment for our planet. 

Title of painting: Cosmic consciousness 36 x 48 inches, 2009

This video of the United States congress and the intelligence agencies getting together to have this discussion is a major step forward. Ever since the discovery and release of those ufo videos by the New York Times in 2017, this reality has greatly shifted. This has always been one of my dreams coming true regarding this disclosure. I’ve wanted this since I was a young boy seeing my first ufo around the age of 6. From there I’ve been hooked on this subject matter ever since. 

Any how enjoy this video as it gives more Information into this new awakened reality. The fact that the U.S government is confirming that this technology is a major leap forward that we haven’t seen anything like this is transformational. It excites me like no other earthly or cosmic discovery. This knowledge is the greatest knowing our human intelligence has ever come close to...we are on the cutting edge as a human species entering unchartered territory. An unknown super intelligence is upon us.

Prince Charles admits truth and reconciliation is vital, acknowledgment of the horror of Colonial past / Gary Lamont rearrested

 

Good evening to each and everyone. I was going to divide these 2 articles into 2 different posts but it’s really the news of the day so I’ll post this all in one shot. First off, it’s a step in the right direction when the monarchy is piping up about the vital need to address this horror done to my people across our lands with regard to this ongoing genocide and addressing the sickness of colonialism and starting to claim responsibility for it. 

It’s a big deal. It makes me somewhat happy to see that the players responsible for this as well as that pope  are coming forward. Of course Canada itself needs to be held accountable for these crimes against humanity because that’s exactly what we are dealing with. It is a higher energy in healing to see these things taking shape. The dignity of our murdered residential school children deserve to have their justice including all of us who are alive and have been directly effected.

Our next piece of news today comes out of Thunder Bay Ont. with the fact of sexual serial rapist Gary Lamont being re arrested yet again, for sexual assault. This is just fuckin mind blowing how Canadian colonial law continues to let this sick fuck out of prison to yet again, reoffend. 3 months ago he tried to rape someone with a knife, at knife point. He gets released into the community on house arrest but there he is again, out fuckin raping people in the community. 

It’s a tragedy of justice and protection to those who are vulnerable in that community and who become his victims. I have suspected for years that this piece of shit was a rat for the Thunder Bay police and this is why he gets “Special treatment” the way he does by the justice system up dere in dirty ol Thunder fuckin Bay. That city is a fucked up place. They’ve been head over heels practicing their racist colonial garbage and mind set up there for too long. There is a massive police investigation on the police board and it’s services dealing with the very mind set I explain about here on my blog. 

It’s taken way too long waiting for justice in regards to the Norval Morrisseau art fraud investigation as well. That date has been pushed back several times now and the OPP had to get involved with all that turmoil regarding the Thunder Bay police and it’s board. They wonder why it’s difficult to have any faith in them? 

Right. 

Any how, I sure hope they lock that bastard fuck up in Gary Lamont, permanently. What a waste of a human. Fuckin sick bastard serial raping piece of shit. Also responsible for the fraud in Norval Morrisseau fakes. The rape paintings - the black drybrush.

The greatest love of my life is this lil guy - the CEO of Jacobson native art

 

Good morning to each and everyone. Just had an amazing day taking my boy out for his first full atv experience deep in the mountains. With spring time opening up more of the trails it was time to take him on this incredible ride. We travelled about 50km on these beautiful and stunning trails together and he was in absolute Mother Nature paradise today. He was beaming with joy and totally enjoyed every single minute of it.

Pictured here: Dadda and baby boy having fun

Here is my boy having a “Anishanabe zen moment” as he takes it all in having had the journey of his life going to places most people only see in their dreams or on postcards. For me, there is nothing greater than having the opportunity each and every day to hang out with this amazing and dazzling light. He truly is my everything. My dream come true. That’s what I tell him every single day. Being with him at this stage of my life is really the icing on the cake. I now know what selfless true love is. It’s being a caring and responsible father to your child each and every day. Nothing in this world can ever replace that. Nothing should ever get in the way of this. 

Ever since his birth I’ve been on this absolutely most incredible journey of discovery. As I’ve mentioned I have never met any soul in my entire life who has impacted such change in my life, in who I am. My little teacher, the one who moved mountains in dadda. What can I say but that I’m eternally grateful for your existence, your precious soul and life. 

My beautiful boy, my hope in a future where true love will continue to reign through our Jacobson name for many future generations to come. This is my ultimate wish, to be the father I never had and to continue our incredible and awesome journey together as father and son. 

This ones for you, Sagein Wisdom. A special message between us in this track from dadda to you...

Refining my brand and artistic legacy in the 21st Century @ Jacobson native art

 

Pictured above: The new paddle board with Sea Gods, White rock BC

Good evening to each and everyone and I wanted to send out a heartfelt thank you for all the love, kindness and support these days. I appreciate it very much and through this site and my Facebook native arts group the response has been incredibly warm and supportive. So chi-meegwetch for that. Lately I’ve been re-examining my marketing approach and have opened up some new doors as the direct result. 

Because of ebay, most auction websites, Kijiji, Walmart, the Hudson’s Bay and the like are peppered with fake Morrisseau’s and poor quality reproductions, fake prints of fake paintings it is quite overwhelming the amount of garbage that is out there. Not only is that the fault of barbarians like jim white publishing and the filth surrounded around the Morrisseau family foundation, Kinsmen Robinson gallery and the negligence of the Norval Morrisseau estate, many others have gotten involved with selling this cheap shit to the average consumer. 

It’s embarrassing that this fraud continues to multiply, the lies and deceptions are hurting consumers while everyone waits for some results regarding this national police investigation being headed by the OPP. The amount of loss that many First Nations artists have suffered because we are forced to compete in this market is atrocious. Gross negligence by Canada in every way you can think of. I’ve watched it all go down for the last 2 decades. It’s pathetic and depressing. 

So, here at Jacobson native art, we are moving in some fresh and new directions. We have decided to work with a couple different platforms where our quality can be appreciated and where we don’t have to contend with fake prints of Norval Morrisseau on eBay for $39.99. What a joke. More over it’s absolutely disgusting really. Most days I’m just getting pretty sick and tired of anything Morrisseau. The toll of dealing with this art fraud for over 17 years now has become quite numbing. 

The amount of garbage out there is staggering so getting proactive about our new direction has put in some fresh hope and courage concerning what I offer and bring to the table. Unlike Morrisseau, my level and quality matters a great deal to me. Not only with my originals but also with the quality of my prints and publishing decisions. 

We have chosen to go with poshmark and Etsy with regard to providing a playful and fun platform for those seeking limited editions on stretched gallery canvas. All prints come signed, titled and numbered and are directly sourced from my art studio. Everything released from the studio is released to the public in mint condition. Flawless. Perfect. We only choose the highest quality and best products to represent Mark Anthony Jacobson native art.

 

I feel very excited and happy about protecting the integrity of my art and legacy. After everything I have learned around Morrisseau it is imperative that a successful artist does everything they can while they are alive to steer this ship in the right direction. I have also decided to enter the world of NFT’s and I’m thankful to my friend, collector and new brother Chad in Toronto for encouraging me to enter this new realm. I don't know much about this digital world but I’m willing to dip my toe in the waters to find out what this potentially may lead to. I am interested to scope out these new worlds online. 

For now I’ll leave some links at the bottom of this article here and you can check them out and I sure hope you enjoy the new products and services that we are offering. I take great pride in trying to do my best on every single canvas and this reflects that pride in the quality of products and decisions I make regarding my art. With great respect...all my relations, MAJ

Sold some paintings and bought some toys @ Jacobson native art

 Good evening to each and everyone. We just got back from a trip to Cranbrook B.C. and went shopping for our monthly supplies etc. Like I’ve mentioned before I live in a very small community deep in the Kootenay mountains on the east shore of kootenay lake. The views and scenery are absolutely majestic. Any how we did our shopping and we ventured off to the toy store. 

When my boy Sagein saw these, his eyes lit up with joy and excitement. When I saw them I thought to myself, if I was 4 years old would I want these? You betcha. So I did what any cool father would do and made the purchase. Lol. This robot Batman lights up, talks, is quite interactive along with that cool looking batcar. He loved em. It took us 3 hours to get back home and my boy fell asleep on the drive home. But when he woke up this morning?

He was the happiest boy on earth. And that for me, is the essence of my happiness, my joy. The truth be told, my childhood was a pretty ruff deal. I see the path every day with this little one. My love and complete admiration for him. His love, trust and confidence in me, the best feelings ever. He is the center of my universe. I don't want to be anywhere else on earth except right there beside him every single day. 

I know the road map of what I had to endure and survive as a child and this lil guy is my only child. He is the CEO of Jacobson native art. He will be handed the responsibility of taking care of this for future generations. Everything I do is truly about taking care of his wellbeing each and everyday. I want the best for him. He deserves it. He has shaped and changed me like no other human being ever in my life, could. He is that unique and special to me. 

He’s the light of my world. He’s the light of my life. It’s an honour to be his father...

Just finished these paintings today @ Jacobson native art

 Good evening to each and everyone. I spent the entire night finishing off these paintings for a client in Montreal. They took me some time as it’s been a very challenging journey navigating this on going genocide of my people, the great Anishanabe. I have spent a significant amount of time deep in the spirit world and deep in Mother Nature spirit seeking council and healing. 

These paintings are the result of putting some things into their proper perspective. I have titled these: Guardian spirits of the family clan. Their size is 24 x 36 inches, each canvas. They are a reflection of these spirits coming in to help me, to comfort me. I am grateful for the spiritual energy and connections I have to these realities.

After coming back from these experiences (being on the planes of inspiration) I usually come back down to earth through some prayer and meditation along with the beauty and power of music. Enjoy this track because this sounds how it feels to come back from the spirit world when creating...

Dealing with fraud and copyright violations of my work @ Jacobson native art

Good afternoon to each and everyone. These are indeed very difficult and challenging times that we are in.  With the discovery and recovery of our residential school children, this genocide of my people, the war with Russia and Ukraine, global warming, the pandemic, the list just goes on and on. These challenges effect us all in more ways than one. Yet the fight for truth must continue.

For years now I’ve been doing whatever I can to assist in fighting this fraud of our art. It started with standing up for the legacy of my friend in Norval Morrisseau. That has been a 17 year fight so far. Now my work is being stolen and taken advantage of by these criminals and not just here in Canada but worldwide. 

It has been a refreshing energy to have actual help and assistance with regard to these matters. The police are fucking useless and have offered absolutely zero help. In this day and age you have to hand them the case on a silver platter like I did with Morrisseau where you have done most of the work, being unpaid and using your own resources to even get them to help or assist. Even in that, they have provided me with no assistance.

So, I’m stuck either doing it myself or finding those who actually care enough to help. I belong to a group called “Fraudulent native art exposed”. It is a small team of dedicated and trusted souls who do work as I’ve listed above. I’m a part of this group. I continue to not only help defend my own interests and authenticity but indeed I’m still helping dozens of other native artists...including still, the art of Norval Morrisseau. 

This article is an overview of how to go about protecting your own art and copyrights. You have to become your own law and justice. Relying on others to get the job done will not suffice. One must take the lead themselves. You have to take action. I hope this piece of advice becomes useful to those who are suffering with these issues. It’s become quite a problem for many native artists across this god forsaken country called Canada. 

Have a safe weekend and thank you for your continued respect and support of all these efforts being done. All my relations, MAJ

Back in the flow and creating spiritual medicine for the world @ Jacobson native art

Good evening to each and everyone. Just a beautiful day and feeling like I’m making more sense out of this crazy and hostile world we all live in. I’m back in the studio making time for what I do best, my art. The fight has been real, honest and pure. I’ve had to take my time through this and put these pieces together regarding this living genocide and truth of discoveries concerning our residential school children. 

I’m simply happy today to be back painting. I have dozens and dozens of pieces on the go. It’s time to refocus myself and plan my next course of actions as I sit in the spiritual world channeling these images and stories putting them down on to the canvases. Recording the spirit and sacred teachings of my people, the great Anishanabe...

Enjoy this new track. I love high energy tribal beats when painting in the studio. This is Bantwanas feat. Khonaye - Amanz’Endlini

Fuck you Canada and fuck this Norval Morrisseau art fraud police investigation...

I’m not in a happy and loving place these days. I can rest my blame on Canada and their brutal murdering spree of destroying generations of lives with the discovery and recovery of our residential school children. I fuckin hate Canada. I despise the Catholic Church. I fuckin hate what you did to us, what your doing to me with these retraumatizing experiences that I feel each and every day. It’s a fuckin miracle that I haven’t picked up a drink. (Been 23 years now) I feel like destroying myself. But some how, some way, I must find a way through this. 

This Norval Morrisseau police investigation has been nothing but a continual let down of trust, patience, justice and truth. The old concepts of “to serve and protect” is a total fucking lie. All that really matters to these cops is their pay cheque. To follow orders as outlined in the Canadian colonial playbook. They have offered nothing in regards to support, updating information or courtesy contact. 

They don’t understand the real significance of this investigation and protection of our culture. How could they? They’re all white cops. What their concerned about is upholding their ass backwards colonial rule of law and receiving that pay cheque every 2 weeks on stolen Indian land albeit. The whole thing is one big gigantic shit show. I don’t have much faith in any of this. The people around Morrisseau especially. Mostly all concerned about the money part of this rather than anything truly resembling truth and reconciliation or the real protection of the authenticity of my culture.

Many Indians around this whole fiasco are to blame as well. Morrisseau’s own children and family. Vampires in reality feasting on the legacy after death by bastardizing the whole thing with selling fakes, making fakes and total prostitution of the copyrights. Absolutely disgusting and a national shame for First Nations and Canadians alike. And fuck them too. I feel no pity for that whatsoever. What a disgrace. 

After 17 + years regarding this investigation, I have little faith that the police investigation will make a significant impact. Sure they’ll nail most of the “black drybrush” fakes, (that’s because we’ve done most of the work) but I’m very suspicious of any real efforts with regard to the 10 plus waves of fake Morrisseau’s out there. And the current reality of the Norval Morrisseau estate?

A complete fucking joke. 

Sincerely,

MAJ

Maintaining some peace and serenity in this crazy and fucked up world we all live in

Truth be told, we have been very blessed for the most part since we left Vancouver in 2017 and moved out here to the Kootenay mountains. The timing of the birth of our son in Sagein which happened in Nelson BC on December the first, and making our rounds throughout the Kootenays has been a deeply fulfilling experience so far. Most people that we have met have been courteous, friendly, understanding and respectful. 

We have experienced some racism, discrimination and ugly bullies who have tried to flex their shit on us but we beat that vibe inside and out by praying and petitioning the great powers of the Universe on their behalf and on behalf of their entire family bloodlines. I call these types of prayers and requests “unfuckable”. Because they bring you immediate spiritual armour from their madness and other associated ‘spiritual sicknesses” that they don’t even know they carry and have.

It’s why I wear medicine and crystals and precious stones etc. Because these things protect me from getting hit. It’s an old Indian trick passed down from those super smart grandma’s and grandfathers in the spirit world. The ancestors. Look, I’m already a pretty fuckin wild cat as they say. Being out here in nature spirit like this each and every day for more than 5 years now has truly answered so many questions. I live in a very small community of 300 souls out here on the east shore of Kootenay lake. 

We are tucked away deep in these mountains. Quietly hidden from the rest of humanity while the entire world tries to recover from the Covid pandemic. We are super fortunate in this regard as well. We have become masters of self isolation and social distancing by Mother Nature’s very existence out here each and every day. All those who live here are pretty much on the same beam of light in this regard as well. It’s the one thing we all have in common living out here. That somewhere within us all out here, we can connect, learn and grow in the knowledge that we are all children of Mother Earth.

The reality is we are healing from genocide, colonialism and oppression here @ Jacobson native art

Below is data report on numbers of children murdered by Canada. March, 2022

Blessings to all my relations who are brave and strong enough to wake up to these facts of our genocide as First Nations people here on our land. The tragedy is absolutely horrifying and unbearable to feel and understand on so many levels. The unyielding madness of this genocidal operation in Canada and the force and control being exercised upon us is absolutely fucking pathetic. Killing our children and building your dreams on the backs of these murdered children is beyond gross, beyond any sense of humanity.

Yet the denial of these truths continues on in how this thing called Canada all came to be. It’s so fucked. What’s even more fucked is how white Canadian settlers think that this is a natural occurrence. Conquer and destroy is their motto. White pride being heralded as the great light upon humanity. Makes me wanna barf. Ignorance of their own history and campaigns of murder upon my people. I see it in the settler. Their black abyss looking eyes. Soulless and empty...in dire need of light and healing. 

Most of them Fuckin abusers and nothing more. 

To combat this “fuckedupness“ we paint, we create, we teach and share, we sing, we drum and we dance. That’s how we fight this blackness and sickness of Canada. Guilty of crimes against humanity, selfish oppression of my people and our culture and yet still, I’m thriving and am fully alive. Fuck you to all who think otherwise. I have you and your flag of shit completely beat and mastered each and every day that I’m alive. Not only that but so does my kid, my son. He’s 4 years old and I teach him every single day about these beautiful ways in which we have as Anishanabe. He will learn about the truth behind what has happened to our people from every generation since it’s beginning. He is a direct descendant of all these murdered residential school children.

He embodies their light by being the seed they couldn’t kill, that they couldn’t destroy. Like me, his father. We shed this darkness by actually practicing our culture each and every day. We give reverence and actual living proof of experience by acknowledging these children who were taken way too soon by a corrupt and murderous nation in Canada. I can laugh at the devil right in front of his ugly clown face.

And I don’t pity you at all. Your an embarrassment. It’s really the same shit being done by Russians towards the people of Ukraine. It’s just disguised a little differently. We First Nations are world leaders in unravelling the colonizer’s lies. That’s why they hate us so much. Because from every generation since then, we remind them of their crimes, of their hate, of their lies and deceptions, of just how corrupt their society truly is when being built as it has on the truth of what they did and continue to do. Which of course is murder, crimes against humanity, stealing our land and resources and continual and perpetual oppression of us to have your white settler/Canadian immigrant way of life. 

We are still in the discovery of the truth phase when it comes to this idea of truth and reconciliation....
