Nyle Miigizi Johnston

Nyle Miigizi Jonston, known by the spirit name Wiishkoonseh Miigizi’enh, embodies the essence of the Whistling White-Headed Eagle. Raised in the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, he embarked on an apprenticeship with storytellers during his formative years. His artistic wellspring draws from the rich tapestry of woodland painters, storytellers, and the profound heritage of his Indigenous culture.

Reflecting on this, Johnston emphasizes, “In this era of reconciliation, it becomes imperative for all to acknowledge our presence and embrace the enduring legacy of narratives and wisdom stemming from the Anishinaabe Nation – a legacy deeply interwoven with my own experiences and identity.” A versatile artist—painter, muralist, sculptor, digital artisan, storyteller, and traditional guide— Johnston leverages his narrative prowess to weave threads of love and healing across diverse communities. His creations serve as conduits that connect the stories of his people to the global fabric, lending support to a spectrum of community causes.

Johnston’s portfolio stands as a testament to his cutting-edge legacy within the realm of Contemporary Art. Spearheading innovation and pushing the boundaries of form, concept, and presentation, he assumes a pivotal role as the lead Indigenous Consultant of The Highness
Indigenous Creation Lab – a collaborative agency dedicated to redefining traditional artistic practices and storytelling mediums. His professional voyage remains intrinsically aligned with his aspiration to be an influential thought leader, a vanguard of innovation, and a catalyst for social change.
