Welcome to the new AK Blog and our world of outdoor adventure, exploration and fun – with a purpose. The blog provides information regarding Ancestral Knowledge happenings and events. Check-in on us often. See what’s new. Take part in our excitement.
AK has been promoting and teaching ancient ways as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for over four years. Our mission is to develop and provide outdoor educational experiences for children, families, organizations, and individuals to help open their mind, body, and spirit to our earth’s delicate environment and ecosystems.
I have been practicing and now teaching primitive skills for approximately 10 years. Each new skill I acquire and even incremental improvement of old ones, improves my abilities and offers new insights of how our natural world fits together in a poetic symbiosis. Our students also flourish and brim with enthusiasm, as they gain understanding and respect for the delicate web of life.
The outdoors has always been a natural environment for children to play. AK teaches wonderful skills to enhance their outdoor learning and excite their natural curiosity. Building shelters to protect from the cold and other hardy elements, foraging for tasty woodland treats, mastering the arts of stealth, stalking and camouflage to gain protection from enemies and to obtain food sources, tracking animals to understand their behavior are just a few of the activities which greatly enhance their experiences outside. Knowing how to use natural materials to survive and thrive also empowers our AK children while developing mindful adults.
We invite you and your family to visit our website and blog, and to join our growing AK community.
See you outdoors,
Jamey Hueston, President Ancestral Knowledge
