Everett Soop Exhibit
:: Posted by Bryan @ 7/27/2007 12:01:00 AM The life and work of Everett Soop, an aboriginal cartoonist who co-founded the Kainai News newspaper, is featured in a new exhibit at University of Calgary's Nickel Arts Museum. According to the U of C's Gauntlet,
Soop used humor to point out social ills and to suggest things needed to be changed. From the time of his youth Soop lived with muscular dystrophy. As his disease progressed Soop focused less on journalism and became more of an activist in the aboriginal disabilities community and was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal posthumously in 2001.
