I respectfully suggest this artist seems non-notable. The most frequently cited source is an unverifiable master's thesis, and other sources are mainly indirectly related (primarily re: Native American art in general and not the subject). A Google search reveals most mentions are related to past small gallery shows and others don't seem related to his art at all. The article appears to be almost entirely original research.

 * Keep based on the fact that his works are found in the collections of the Canadian Museum of History, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, and the Thunder Bay Art Gallery, all notable by Wikipedia standards. Satisfies #4 of WP:NARTIST. Curiocurio (talk) 02:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep the nomination is a non-starter as he is in multiple museum collections, as points out. I have added two sources for verification, which verifies three of the five collections listed in the article.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
