Growing up in Northwestern Ontario, specifically Thunder Bay, during the 1970's, I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Mr. Morriseau when he stayed at the Prince Arthur Motor Hotel. He showed me some of his work, and it truly was beautiful. He will be missed. Respectfully yours, David Maki, Prince Albert, Sk
