Jay Soule

Jay Soule is a Native multimedia artist from the Chippewas of the Thames River First Nation (Deshkaan Ziibing Anishinaabeg) located south west of London -ON.

Jay creates art under the name Chippewar which represents the hostile relationship that Canada's native peoples have with the government of the land they have resided in since their creation. Chippewar is also a reminder of the importance of the traditional warrior role that exists in Indigenous cultures across North America that survives into the present day. 

In addition to painting, Jay is a clothing designer, spending spring through fall on the powwow trail showcasing his art and apparel.
