Peace with the Sinclair Family- Norval Morrisseau with Ritchie Sinclair's Mother - Christmas 1979 * In 1979 Norval named me Stardreamer and I was hired to apprentice with him. From day one Norval was a trusted guide through the world of Spirit. He never let me down. He never took advantage of me, nor did I take advantage of him. Norval and I shared a passion for making art and exploring Spirit.
