Robinson of Kinsman Robinson Galleries and Bryant Ross, who is the gallery director of the Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery).

Mr. Wilfred (Wolf) Morrisseau's statement clarifies how Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair was 'NEVER a protégé' to Norval Morrisseau and any claims made by Ritchie Sinclair have been based on a false historicity made up by Sinclair. Details to how these two came into association are explained further in this affidavit by Mr. Wilfred (Wolf) Morrisseau who is brother and kin to the late Norval Morrisseau:
-
-
"To Whom It May Concern:
-
----I Wilfred David Charles Morrisseau (Wolf) do make this statement in all honesty and sincerity concerning my late brother Norval Morrisseau.
-
----I, Wilfred (Wolf) Morrisseau did live with my brother in Buckhorn, Ontario from 1975 to 1981. During this time, I was my brother's caretaker as well as his temporary manager for his artwork.
-
----Norval had homosexual tendencies and he would go to Toronto and he would bring back male escorts. In the fall of 1981, I had met Mr. Richie Sinclair as one of the male escorts. Mr. Sinclair provided services for Norval and he would pay cash. My brother would also give the male escorts paintings and artifacts that he was collecting. These items were usually used as payments for their services. These escorts would also steal paintings and artifacts as well. Even though my brother has homosexual tendencies, I did not engage in these activities.
-
----Throughout this time, I never saw Mr. Sinclair ever paint with my brother nor did I ever heard him say that he adopted him. My brother has never given Mr. Sinclair authorities over his artworks. Mr. Sinclair had taken advantage of my brother sickness. By doing so he would steal his artwork and personal artifacts. My brother did not consider Mr. Sinclair as his protégé, but only as in my brother's words "his boy toy".
-
----Everything in this statement I have given is the truth about my involvement with my late brother Norval Morrisseau.
-
Sincerely,
-
Signed
-
Wilfred (Wolf) Morrisseau"
