For the record: Here @ Jacobson native art I stand by every word I’ve ever written...

 

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

Fuck you to the entire legacy of Norval Morrisseau....and that pathetic estate

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 

Happy new year and from this point forward, I turn my back on the art, legacy and estate of Norval Morrisseau

 

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.

Exposing the dysfunctional CEO in Cory Dingle of the Norval Morrisseau estate

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...

More to come. All my relations....MAJ

Exposing the current corruption and lies of the estate of Norval Morrisseau

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 stand with the AFN chiefs regarding Bill - C21 here @ Jacobson native art

 

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. 

Photo: picture taken as an art piece. Summer of 2022

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

Under the umbrella of truth and reconciliation, this current exhibition @ Royal Ontario Museum and Jacobson native art steps forward...

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”.

Thus the line is called: Healing waters. 🌈🦅🌈

Happy 5th birthday to my incredible and beautiful son Sagein Wisdom @ Jacobson native art

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.

A delayed justice in art fraud and the death of Christian Morrisseau

Good afternoon and here’s to trying to move forward amongst the chaos and continual delayed justice in the Norval Morrisseau art fraud case which I’ve been investigating and fighting for over 17 years now. It’s absolutely pathetic how the Canadian rule of law operates. It’s fucking gross, really. Day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year we continue to wait wait wait and wait even more...I truly realize why most gave up a long time ago in regards to the idea of justice for Norval. It’s just so grotesque in regards to how Canada deals with issues of justice around First Nations causes etc. No wonder nobody believes in them any more.
 

Last week one of the main suspects in the forgery of Norval Morrisseau’s art and legacy died. Norvals own son, Christian Morrisseau. Dead. Gone. For good....What a disgrace of a legacy. I was told that he would be cooperating with the Thunder Bay police investigation. It looks like that won’t be happening now. Congratulations to the Thunder Bay police and OPP for yet again, fucking that up. They should all be embarrassed of themselves. Talk about gross negligence and indeed you can add the disgrace of the Norval Morrisseau estate into that equation. 

This whole thing has become an unfolding train wreck. From the players on both sides of the coin I’ve seen so much go wrong in this investigation. From the lies and deceptions of Gabe Vadas, Don and Paul Robinson from kinsmen Robinson gallery in Toronto, lies and deceit of Joe Mcleod, the scams of Randy Potter auctions, Jim white publishing fraud, Morrisseau family foundation scam, dysfunctional Morrisseau researcher in John Zemanovich, white cultural appropriator in Ritchie Sinclair, losers like Joe Otavnik and Ugo Matulic, Scumbags and rapists like Gary Lamont and a whole host of shady art galleries across Canada who sold and dealt fraudulent Morrisseau art to countless unsuspecting Canadians and people around the world. What a scene of garbage really...

And then you have guys like this Det. Jason Rybak of the Thunder Bay police. A false prophet in my books. He came rolling into my world more than 2 years ago now telling me that this whole thing would be wrapped up in 6 months. Fucking bullshit. It’s been several months now going on year 2 waiting for those results. With all the turmoil up there in Thunder Bay in regards to their continual problems in racism, discrimination and their genocidal policies in policing on stolen Indian land we can understand why the wheels of justice simply haven’t been moving properly. Their whole operation is fucked up. They don’t communicate well, they stall the process of justice and pass the buck around hoping someone will eventually do something. It’s absolutely gross dealing with the colonizer. Period. 

Any how, this is where things are at. I’ll leave you for now with this atrocious video of Christian “Judas” Morrisseau betraying his supposed “grand shaman father” in Norval Morrisseau. It’s one of the worst betrayals I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Forcing daddy bound to a wheelchair suffering from Parkinson’s disease to sign off on the fakes. The black drybrush garbage that a convicted serial rapist from Thunder Bay in Gary Lamont spearheaded, not only sadistically raping First Nations youth but also guilty of raping the artistic legacy of my old friend in Norval Morrisseau...

The true legacy of the Morrisseau family foundation:

Honouring true apprenticeship in the heart of the woodland school @ Jacobson native art

Good afternoon to each and everyone and thank you for all the positive energy and love these days as we transition into another season heading into the wonders of the great snowfall. Sitting up here deep in the Kootenay mountains I recently had the honour of one of my apprentices of 3 years now come up from Vancouver to pay a visit.

We got to hang out and paint, paint and paint. We shared life stories, teachings and the spiritual connection and powers inherent in the woodland school of art. That there is an order of actions and protocols that one should learn in practicing the art form. For those that do not know this or in whom do not practice the spirituality of the art? You are completely missing the point. You are lost at sea...most likely lost in the abyss of colonialism. 

It is important to have understanding of the spirits of these animal clan totems in which we are blessed to work with. A working knowledge of feasting the spirits and ancestors as there is spirit memory attached to these energies involving the clarity of the art form and its spirit. We must be humble in this regard because one can hurt themselves as in the case of Morrisseau himself. Guys like Roy Thomas, Gelineau Fisher, Moses Amik Beaver, Blake Debassige, Saul Williams, my uncle Jimi Oskineegish along with a few others understood this. 

The ability to practice a good sense of living your life in a good way. I would say that sobriety from alcohol is also key as the temple of the artist should be well balanced with that as well. Things like peyote, mushrooms or even pot should be regarded as medicine. For it grows from our earth mother to help us in these regards. I’m a peyote boy and have been involved with sponsoring meetings etc for 20 years now. That medicine is very very powerful for us here on turtle island. The only real way to use it is in ceremony and to pray with it, throughout the night with a fire by your side. 

These things I have found to benefit my spiritual health and practice. I pray every day and do something ceremonially each day as well. My life is a living spiritual experience. This is the light that can be found in our art. This is the love found in who we are. The great Anishanabe. An honour to carry this life force into my very being, a greater honour to pass on this awareness and knowledge. From one brother to another....

All my relations...MAJ

Celebrating the successful end of season @ Jacobson native art 2022 edition

 

Good evening to each and everyone. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve last posted but indeed it is because of a very successful season. I am absolutely delighted to have been able to touch thousands of souls this summer. What an incredible and life changing experience. The spiritual energy and power that was being exchanged throughout the summer of 2022 will last a lifetime. 

I’m super happy to know that there is a needed spiritual force taking shape across the cultural fabric of our lands as First Nations and both Canadians and travellers from around the world got to share in the healing. Most important though this year is the growth and development of my boy, Sagein. He loved it at the gallery and open art studio this year. He’s only 4 years old but wow did he ever touch a lot of lives.

A real big and significant experience for him was meeting all kinds of new people from around the world. You could tell how impacted he was by everyone and he grew a liking to each and everyone who were inclined by his energy and presence.He was my sidekick at the gallery, helping dadda close a few sales and having a bunch of fun in the process. 

I must admit it was a lot of hard work showing up and giving er everyday for weeks on end. Quite a shift after the pandemic and being withdrawn from human activity like the rest of the world was from 2020 to this summer of 2022. All in all it was fantastic and I’m looking forward to next season with new plans and actions that are manifesting. Until then my friends I say chi-meegwetch to all of you and wishing you all beautiful energy and love...all my relations, MAJ

I love you son.  Forever...

Continuing to build these dreams @ Jacobson native art

 

Good afternoon to each and everyone. It’s been a busy last 7 weeks since our opening. We are gliding nice and high like being on the wings of an Eagle. The transformations taking shape are tremendous and beautiful. Our goals and aspirations are growing and we continue to make genuine contact with each new visitor and provide a wonderful safe space for deep and meaningful conversations and exchanges to take shape.

We are growing...we are dreaming @ Jacobson native art. All my relations, MAJ

Enjoy this track by lazarusman and stimming: your dreams 

Life and love being shared and multiplied @ Jacobson native art

Things are going absolutely phenomenal these days @ Jacobson native art. Every day is filled with excitement, spirit, creativity and healing. It’s a real dream come true. I feel so grateful and appreciative of this new direction in my life. My gallery partner in Johnny and fellow master artist in Kurtis and the rest of the team is delighted beyond measure. We are all super happy...

Also the creative energy has been picking up significantly and I’m getting ready to maximize the outdoor art studio over the next coming weeks. The temperature will be much more efficient during the fall into Indian summer. So I’m getting really excited about that. I have numerous commissions to execute and this season has been just explosive regarding all this new energy.

Today at the gallery and art studio we had the honour and privilege to clean up this eagle we found a couple weeks back. We feasted the eagle clan and offered our tobacco offerings in a good way. We took care of all aspects of this sacred bird. We believe this was a gift to us from Creator and Mother Earth. The skull is being prepared, 2 eagle bone whistles, tail fan, 2 wings and talons being cured. We know from these signals of the spirit that indeed all is well. We are on the path...and with that I say chi-meegwetch to all my relations and enjoy this Peyote prayer song by Louie Gonnie titled: Spheres and Talismans.

This is how powerful and beautiful it felt for us today dealing with the Eagle...

Preparing for our first “Medicine bag” making workshops this weekend @ Jacobson native art

Good evening to each and everyone. Things have been absolutely incredible here at the new gallery and open art studio. The energy and spiritual force has been transformational for every single visitor who comes to experience us. We are definitely playing in the fields of true healing and inspiration. I’ve been to all the galleries across Canada dealing in indigenous art and everyone who comes here and experiences this agrees, there is nothing like what we are offering and bringing to the table. 

Our combined spiritual energies and alignment is a spearhead for this new and exciting evolution here @ Jacobson native art. We are the platform out here and new model for how these conversations are manifesting in regards to the healing of the cultural fabric of this country, our nation. All who come in to our creative temple leave feeling inspired, understood, valued and deeply appreciated. 

The ancestral power and guiding lights of the souls of our residential school children are leading the way for us. We are instruments of healing, of love and compassion. It’s what these children want, to come together as the human race and embrace each other for the beauty that we are. They desire this unity and healing, this oneness. 

We will be working with master leather artist: Kurtis Staven

He is of Sioux heritage and it is an honour and blessing to have one of our featured artists at the gallery and studio lead us in this exciting medicine bag making workshop.

For more info please leave a comment with your questions etc.

Thank you...MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Going hard and strong for the last 3 weeks since our grand opening here @ Jacobson native art

Pictured here: Finding some time and space to rest
 

Good evening everyone. All has been well here since our grand opening last month. The amount of energy being produced every single day with each and every visitor has been absolutely transformational. They are literally coming in droves and on the hearts of everyone are our residential school children. The outpouring of love, connection and providing a safe environment for these conversations to happen has been soul touching.

When I was granted this vision to manifest this reality regarding the gallery and open art studio, I simply hadn’t seen the levels of healing that are happening. Canadians are sharing their heartfelt experiences and simply wish to be as helpful as possible around these discoveries. They feel horrible about this dark and horrific history and every single one of them has vowed to never want this to ever repeat itself. 

The respect, humility and compassion has been absolutely incredible. No one leaves feeling bad, we share our love and healing. We appreciate them and their heart and understanding. The time for healing this nation is upon us. I see it each and every day at the gallery. It’s so beautiful to be a part of this healing. It’s what the souls of these children want, what they desire. I feel so humbled and honoured to be a spearhead of this transformation out here in the Kootenay mountains. 

This is where I get my time to reflect, to process and heal all this energy. I truly feel blessed to be a voice for our children, in a good way, relearning once again how to walk in a kinder, softer, gentler way. To try and walk in beauty once again. I say chi-meegwetch to all my relations, MAJ
