Story of Makoyii

  • Makoyii (mah-koy-ee) pays tribute to my grandfather, Edwin Running Wolf, who embodies the perseverance of the Blackfeet Nation (Amsskaapi Piikuni).

  • Makoyii is the Blackfeet translation meaning wolf. The running wolf is both resilient and steadfast.

  • The resilient withstand and overcome challenges, while the steadfast know their purpose and refuse to give up.

  • The artwork features the running wolf persevering through the unforeseen conditions of night.
