Mark Fischer (Oneida)

I am a contemporary sculptor and member of the Oneida Nation of Green Bay, Turtle Clan. I was involved in Native American education at an administrative level for 12 years, and was instrumental in establishing several Native American scholarships for Wisconsin colleges. I continue to be an advocate of education by promoting the importance of Native American awareness through my sculpture, and by my interactive storytelling-style with perspective customers and young audiences. 

Many of my designs are inspired by ancient Woodland petroglyphs and pictographs celebrating nature, gender and Native art and culture. The sculptures are created from copper as were decorative and functional items from the Great Lakes area tribes.
