Thats a cool youre doing. Not many people are doing this anymore. The Nez Perce would make powerful bows made out of bighorn, capable of taking down elk & moose. It served as a great backup weapon during the war. Due to the scarcity of ammo.
I recently bought earrings from wind River casino but the young lady wasn't educated on who made the beautiful art nor what ghost beads were. I told her she needs to educate herself because this is important things her grandchildren will ask her. So thank you for keeping the beading alive and thriving.
Brothers and Sisters, God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ for us to save us from our sins, and he bled and died on a cross for us to redeem us from death, and to gain life everlasting, for those who put their trust in him. And what's more, he has risen, and is willing to call you to repentance (correction) and as his witness, by his grace indeed. "For it is by grace you are saved, through faith". Jesus loves you, God cares for you! Therefore, repent and believe the gospel.
I’ve recently learned my (Mexican) great grandfather lived in Evanston and my grandfather was born in Laramie. This material helps give me insight on what they may have lived like.
200fps at such a short draw length is a feat unmarched even by most modern bows! Wonder how it compares to an asiatic hornbow which have a layer of wood between the horn and sinew.
And, I'm sure you meant to say Raylene Jones and not Ray Jones in the first and second sentences. Thanks to all for a wonderful video about the 2021 WY competition.
being myself of Basque-Irish descent I enjoyed seeing how Euskal Herria also left its mark in Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho... an imprint that is also very very visible down here! Greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia. Gora Euskadi!
What a great skill and video! I'm a french woman, I was a saddle maker and a bowwoman, I was doing bowfishing in some rivers and sea side, I'm also very passionnate by natives, so I really enjoy to watch this :)
American trucker here. I spent the last 3 years hauling between Oregon and Nebraska. Now I'm back home in Wisconsin. Everytime I get to missing those days going from Edgerton to Cheyenne I'm going to bring music up.
It bums me out that so many Native American arts are becoming lost. Kids and adults alike are simply not interested. Even if you’re white, it’s good to learn these things. It is the history of our landscape, our shared cultural past, and the story of ancestors.
