Marcus Coochwykvia has been working as a Silversmith since the 1970's. He learned his craft from Hopicrafts and was inspired by his brother-in-law, Glen Lucas. He lives in Mishongnovi and is a member of the Bear Clan. Although some of Marcus' pieces have a hallmark of a Bear Paw with Friendship Marks in the pad, more often, this man of few words will sign his pieces with his initials MC.

Marcus is shown here in August of 2011.
