James David Tsoodle

Artist James Tsoodle Since childhood, James Tsoodle (“SOO-dle”), a self-taught artist of the Kiowa Indian tribe of Oklahoma has worked to capture the amazing colors of the warriors of the American Plains Indians.

James portrays these warriors as they actually were in the late 19th century. By living on the reservation himself he has witnessed his people’s way of living and was taught by the spoken oral history of his grandfather. Whether a knot tie on a feather, a bone chocker, a hair style or a wrap on a shield his work reflects his knowledge of his people. James strives to bring out the beauty, power, strength and dignity of the Plains Indians.

A resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, James has shown his work in various shows and competitions including The Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian (Santa Fe), The Heard Museum (Phoenix) and the Pueblo Grande Museum (Phoenix).

When asked about his thoughts on his success and goals as man and as an artist, James stated…”Opposed to everything that I have been blessed with, in all my life, my greatest passion and blessing is to teach God’s word to people who honestly desire to hear it. And through my gifts as an Indian artist, to convey the glory and pride of the great native tribes of the American plains.”
