Ancestral Knowledge

Ancestral Knowledge uses nature and the wilderness as its classroom to connect our students with the ancient skills of our past.  We use wilderness survival, earth based living skills, awareness, and primitive technology to create an environmental stewardship between our students and the earth.  We take our students down a path seldom traveled to rediscover the ancient ways of survival that made modern life possible.

We combine two methods of teaching. These include Experiential Education-“learning by doing” and Coyote Teaching-“guiding not giving”.  This allows our participants to develop a way of thinking that increases their problem solving skills and self reliance.

Ancestral Knowledge is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operated by a community of naturalists who specialize in native life skills.  We use the earth and our natural surroundings as the tools to teach wilderness survival, primitive skills, activities, and philosophies that support sustainable lifestyles.  We custom design our outdoor education presentations and programs to fit the needs of schools, community groups, families and individuals.
