He belongs to the Sun Clan and the Badger Clan. His father, Eddie Scott Sr., made his living as a silversmith from 1937 and also made decorated horse saddles (silver saddles). At the time, many Hollywood movie stars traveled all the way to Flagstaff, a town in northern Arizona, to get one of those saddles. Growing up in that environment, he naturally picked up how to use the hammers and jeweler's saw his father treasured, simply by watching beside him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe began working in earnest as a Hopi jeweler in 1976, and in the 1980s won ribbons (prizes) many times at shows such as the Gallup Inter-Tribal Arts \u0026amp; Crafts Show and the Santa Fe Indian Market. After marrying a Navajo woman, he moved to Chinle, near Canyon de Chelly. He once also worked as a teacher at a Navajo elementary school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis jewelry differs a little from typical Hopi jewelry in that he works with a wide variety of materials, not only silver. That influence came from the world-famous Hopi jeweler Charles Loloma (Badger Clan), a distant relative. Since he began making jewelry, he has inherited most of his tools from his father, and continues to create original work using the traditional decorative techniques passed down from him.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"esk103802","title":"Godber Turquoise and Eagle Overlay Design Band Ring by Eddie Scott Kohtalawva \/ Japan Size 24","description":"LONGBRANCH has admired Eddy Scott Cooyaouva's work for more than 20 years, since the shop was founded in 1997.
