Nothing seems more “traditional” than Archery in the Aboriginal Community. But, in fact, nothing is further from the truth. Dozens of First Nations and Metis clubs are bringing back the skill that was much more than a sport to its original participants.
Synopsis:
Hundreds of years ago, a bow and arrow was often the first toy put into a child’s hands because it was a tool that was designed for survival. Host Steve Sxwithul’txw learns how to use both traditional and high tech bows to test his patience and his accuracy. As usual, Steve gives his all and is inevitably outperformed by the youth of the community who take great delight in teaching him the finer points of the sport, as this celebration of a lost art takes flight.
