[edit] Morrisseau's Anishinaabe name?
Though the article states Morrisseau's Anishinaabe name as "Miskwaabik Animiiki" that I corrected to ᒥᐦᐢᒁᐱᐦᐠ ᐊᓂᒥᐦᑮ (Miskwaabik Animikii)—since the word for a Thunderbird or a Thunderbeing or a Thunderer is "Animikii" and not "Animiiki"— looking at his work, I see he signs his name instead as ᐅᓵᐚᐱᐦᑯᐱᓀᐦᓯ (Ozaawaabiko-binesi), which translates not as "Copper Thunderer" but instead as "Brassy [Thunder]Bird". Do anybody know where the original "Miskwaabik Animiiki" citation came from since anyone who can read Syllabics can readily tell you that his signature says "Ozaawaabiko-binesi" and not "Miskwaabik Animikii"? In the unpointed script, by the way which is the way he signs his paintings, his name is written as ᐅᓴᐘᐱᑯᐱᓀᓯ. Also, if you're seeing jibberish here, download a font with UniCode Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics range; see Anishinaabe language article for a link to such a site.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Norval Morrisseau.jpeg
Image:Norval Morrisseau.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
