The Norval Morrisseau art fraud trials have officially concluded — one of the largest cultural fraud cases in Canadian history.
With the final guilty verdict delivered, the estate can now speak openly after six years of silence during the judicial process.

This piece, Receiving the Eck Blessing of Healing, captures the spirit of this moment: truth emerging, healing beginning, and a renewed commitment to protecting Indigenous artists and cultural integrity in Canada.
A powerful step forward for justice — and for the legacy Morrisseau fought so hard to preserve.

Opening Sunday, September 28, Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation marks the DIA’s first Indigenous art exhibition in 30 years and the debut project led by their first Curator of Indigenous Arts in over 13 years. The show brings together visionary works by Norval Morrisseau and more than 60 Anishinaabe artists, while also unveiling never-before-seen pieces from the museum’s collection. A powerful celebration of truth, resilience, and continuation — not to be missed.
