One of the many honours bestowed upon Norval Morrisseau was the request to design the annual Christmas stamp for 1990. Originally painted in 1973, the image depicts the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and St. John the Baptist. This panting is from collection of the Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Hull, Quebec. Day of issue was October 25th, 1990.

Norval Morrisseau once said "that Jesus Christ was the greatest shaman of them all!"
That's why he painted Christ so many times.Because he understood that the greatest exibition of love that can be demonstrated is the sacrifice of oneself for a friend or stranger.
"Love of Humanity...brotherly Love."

"If you read The Morrisseau Papers based on files that Robert Lavack kept from his days of friendship with Norval, you realize that Robert played a large part in starting the process of Norval geting a postage stamp...an honour that was long overdue.
I think there are many people out there such as Robert Lavack, who helped Norval and who have positive stories to tell that should add to your blog."
