"The legacy and great body of artwork by the late Norval Morrisseau is a 'National Treasure' and deserves commitment by the Canadian Government in regards to our unique and diverse cultural heritage and is to be enjoyed by future generations of Canadians.

I am a strong believer that Norval Morrisseau's Legacy belongs to his people "the Great Ojibway" and to family that bears his name - Morrisseau Family."

This is a nice picture of Norval where he should have been from the start. With his family and not with certain individuals that were using him till his last dying breath. This is a great photo to remember that his family cared for him deeply.
Thank you for sharing this fine image of the 2 generations.

I find it a real shame that Norval's family got nothing from his passing. Im not sure why Gabe has full control of the estate. I thought you were family Gabe and family shares. Last time I checked at least.
