ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The idea that the Red Lake Museum would host an exhibit of the art of Norval Morrisseau began with the Red Lake Museum Board of Directors in the summer of 1999. The endorsement of the idea by both the Museum Board and members of the local Aboriginal community provided a basis to initiate contact with local collectors. They have been not only willing but wonderfully enthusiastic in loaning their art and sharing the stories of its acquisition. Townspeople, many of them Red Lake pioneers, have also been generous with their time and their memories. There has been strong support and guidance from local professionals who have freely shared with Museum staff their expertise related to the visual arts. This project has also
received invaluable assistance from larger museums and galleries, among
them the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation, the Thunder Bay Art Gallery, the
Glenbow Art Gallery, Kinsman Robinson Galleries and the Maslak-McLeod
Gallery. Their staff have offered encouragement, advice and
patient instruction as often as it was requested. Individuals who
once lived in Red Lake or knew Morrisseau in other places have
willingly agreed to interviews and have shared interesting
insights. The Red Lake Museum gratefully acknowledges all of the
different forms of assistance it has received with the preparation and
presentation of its exhibition: |
