| Long ago Morrisseau chose to plant a seed Vision within Ritchie Sinclair. This Vision foresaw the timely emergence of a Thunderbird School of Shamanistic Arts. Under the name Stardreamer, a name he was given thirty years ago, he held true to their shared Vision. At a Beardance Ceremony, led by Morrisseau, Stardreamer was empowered with responsibility for the continuance of the spiritual/creative movement which Morrisseau began. Now that the Grand Shaman of the Anishinaabe has "translated" the branches of his profound legacy are emerging. At the Norval Morrisseau Memorial Gathering held in Toronto on December 8, 2007, Brian Marion ( Morrisseau's other artist protégé ) and Sinclair publicly vowed to realize this Vision of the School. They envision facilitating an inspirational movement toward Spirit guided by the insight of Copper Thunderbird (Morrisseau). Stardreamer and the Thunderbird School's mission is to continue beautifying the world with significant imagery. Each image is both a talisman and a beacon lighting our way to a growing community of inspiration. For Stardreamer the "emergence" begins at 2pm on Saturday September 6, 2008, at the Scollard Street Gallery (112 Scollard Street in Toronto). On the very street where Morrisseau's art career was fashioned and became fashionable "Spirit will be moving". All are welcome!
