The Forgotten Frontier

TRISTAN JONES is a classically trained writer and life long comics fan. He was born in Toronto, Canada, and is a multiracial Indigenous person of Black Mi'kmaq heritage and Anishinaabe ancestry. Having obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Literature from Toronto Metropolitan University, he excelled in his creative writing classes. Out of a desire to study and write about Indigenous culture, he chose to focus his efforts on re-contextualizing the American western genre with his debut work, "The Forgotten Frontier."
