Protected by a lone, sparsely populated stand of trees amid a 

sun-bleached field a group of students and parent volunteers are eyeing both my buckskins and the assemblage of stones, sticks, nuts, and other materials that form the basis of today’s lesson. Soon, they’ll be using their hands to create string from sticks, drill holes in stones with sticks, create beads from stones and nuts, and attempt to create fire by friction. The assembled learners will also practice timeless hunting technologies including: rabbit sticks, hand spears, hoop and pole game, spear throwers, and bow and arrow.
