Becoming Primitive

December 13, 2008 by admin 

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to my site.  I’m on a mission- I’m learning how to live like the natives did before the European settlers came over to this continent.   Aka- like a primitive native.  Specifically, since I’m Wampanoag, like the Wampanoag’s did.  Though, since so much knowledge has been completely lost over the years, and since I currently live on the opposite coast, it’s a bit of a challenge.  However, even though certain skills vary from tribe to tribe and from region to region, there’s still a similarity between them all.  For that reason I’ll draw from different native traditions.  But the goal is the same- to be able to walk into the forest and live like the natives did.  To learn a different way of life.

That’s why I’ve created this site.  Because I want to share what I learn with anyone who is interested and wants to learn too.  I’m going to use this blog to document my journey- to write about anything I see, experience, learn and do on the way.  I’ll share insights, problems, solutions, news- anything related to primitive skills, Native Americans and the Wampanoag.

As I learn more, I’ll add to the website as well.  It will become a database of everything I’ve learned and done on my journey.  I want to focus on sharing what I’ve learned, so you can learn a different way to live too.

So… subscribe to my feed so you’ll always be up to date on my journey and check the site often for the latest information.

    I think I will hold off on a gravatar until later when I have more time. Besides, I have such outstanding pictures, it would be hard for me to pick the best one. Any suggestions?
