Our project involves key stakeholders, including the members of the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society (formed by Morrisseau in 2005 to ensure his artistic legacy), curators of major museum collections, Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, private collectors and others who knew the artist. Because of the relationship of this investigation to Anishinaabe knowledge, we seek guidance from Anishinaabeg knowledge keepers and community partners regarding matters of cultural protocol, research design, and dissemination. We view the training of a new generation of researchers as a key aspect of the project and student research assistants undertake much of the primary research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
