Nyle Miigizi Johnston’s spirit name is Wiishkoonseh Miigizi’enh, meaning Whistling White Headed Eagle. He grew up in Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and apprenticed with Storytellers since his youth. Through visual arts, his mission is to tell stories.
Nyle takes us through the traditions of storytelling in Indigenous culture – noting that in a time of reconciliation, it is important for people to know about their existence, and that their legacy in stories and teachings are grounded in experience and identity.
