The Way of the Hunter



How would it feel to be able to sense a submerged seal from far away using nothing but basic human instinct? Is it possible and how? Larry, a Native Alaskan Tribal Elder blew away the minds of several people the day he spoke to us about the ability of humans to connect with other beings in a spiritual way. The idea that any human is able to learn the same skill that Larry possesses is astounding ; it is a puzzling idea that got me thinking of how today’s society is so far detached from our own basic human abilities making it so sad  because humans do not know much of what they are capable of. On that note, there is no way a baby can be born today and taught these intrinsically  known skills as it is born into a “modernized” culture. Lesson here is: our potential as humans is limited according to our ancestors’ knowledge; save the “primitive way,”—and save mankind.

  1. I know exactly what you mean! I think our society has been so dependent on materialistic things that it would be hard to look at things in a Taker mindset. However, although its not impossible, it definitely is a difficult path to take. For instance, Vitor did it ......I don't know if I can drop everything.....all know is that if we get the courage, we can all stop listening to mother culture.
    By the way, when Larry came in to speak, I recorded him.
