>>> The 'Weekend of Awakening', presented a year ago today, was dedicated to the term that had never been used on this blog before
-'The Norval Morrisseau Conspiracy'. This conspiracy involves a couple of galleries (Kinsman Robinson Galleries and Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery) and a few individuals who were closely associated with the artist namely Donald C. Robinson and Paul C. H. Robinson of the Kinsman Robinson Galleries in Toronto, Ontario; Bryant Ross who is director of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery in Aldergrove, BC; Gabor Vadas who for the last 20 years of Norval Morrisseau's life functioned as Mr. Morrisseau's guardian and business manager; Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair - an individual who single-handedly caused the greatest harm to the Norval Morrisseau Art Market and whose name is infamously connected with the Legacy of Norval Morrisseau; John Zemanovich a.k.a. Raven Thunderbird who was Blog Master of http://honouringnorvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com (suspended in October 2008) and Mark Anthony Jacobson a.k.a. PEY-SIM-AWAY-APEY-BINASI.

Among the information never before seen on the 'NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG' a series of signed 'Certificates of Authenticity' had been presented for paintings done in the styles that Norval Morrisseau used mostly during the decade of the 1970's. These legally binding 'Cerificates of Authenticity' were signed and thumbprinted by Norval Morrisseau as he personally handled and inspected the 'front and reverse' of each canvas painting for his identifying marks. These 'Certificates of Authenticity' were eyewitnessed during their presentation to Norval Morrisseau.

From the very beginning of the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG I felt the need to create a platform that will speak for Norval when this priviledge to speak for himself was put in the hands of others that were only interested in their personal financial gain by putting the Legacy of Norval Morrisseau aside.
