He was known for several children's books about his residential school experience as a child and for his plays.

At age nine, when his father was serving in World War II, Loyie was sent to the St. Bernand Indian Residential School in Grouard, Alberta.
Separated from his family for long periods, he attended St. Bernand's through age 14.
