Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society(NMHS) was formed in October 2005 at the request of the artist to begin work on a catalogue raisonné in order to deal with the growing number of paintings misattributed to Morrisseau."

The Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society issued the following public warning: "The NMHS is aware that there are many works available for sale to the public that are falsely attributed to Norval Morrisseau. When buying a work of art, ask the art dealer or art gallery about the origin and source of the work. Did it come from the artist directly, or from some other source? Inquiries about the work's provenance or history are advisable, as it is to become familiar with the artist's work and pricing in other galleries, auctions and exhibitions."

* Are these statements true and are they truly trying to preserve Norval Morrisseau Legacy or are they just instruments in hands of Gabe Vadas and Kinsman Robinson Galleries? I believe in the latter statement...
