I’ve never heard someone teach you loads of information and yet still feel like you’re listening to a great story by a campfire. His charisma and story telling is off the charts and packed full of wisdom.
It's pleasing to listen to him talk about what he knows and likes. It's rare to see a real human being nowadays with life flowing through him. Compare the life in his eyes and voice to our politicians and to average urbanized people, with their stilted way of speaking and their hangups and morals and lack of skills and lack of any connection to a culture or their humanity. They seem subhuman by comparison. It's grotesque what most humans have become.
I'm Cherokee and my family is from the hills of North Carolina. When I was a kid I wasn't interested much in my people's history, skills and traditions. I was interested in fast cars and big block motors! I still like the hot rods but since I have gotten older I am very interested in things about my family. A lot of the people I could have learned from are gone now. I have met other people of the Cherokee people who are teaching me things but I truly love watching these videos and learning what Mr Grayson is sharing. Thank You, John

FANTASTIC! It's great to see there are native people who still preserve the arts of their ancestors. Being a fellow primitive archer and bowhunter, I love the ancient bow just like he does. I'd love to meet Noel someday.
How is it, an art? ARCH-- I'm here with, these other, Indians! Hence; engineered weapons- they did! Past tense! Hence; in Israel it, would be this, shot! Weapon not ever, a whip!
He makes me think of all the knowledge we’ve lost from our ancestors. I’m so happy that we can save some nowadays for future generations from men like him and current technology.
Ask around. There aren't many that have Mr. Grayson's ability to explain things with such simplicity, but there are plenty out there who have collected knowledge that might surprise you. Some charlatans exist of course, but it doesn't take much work to try what they say and find who knows what you're looking for.
I feel like im being lulled listening to him. Like a grandfather telling me stories of old or like a father telling me bedtime stories when i was young... I feel solace and peace.
I could listen to Noel Grayson-Arrows for hours. What an amazing teacher. His voice; his patient progressive, orderly, detailed descriptions are so easy to understand and learn from.
huh, never would have thought to burnish my antler pressure flakers. Maybe that's what I have been doing wrong. Man, Noel needs a youtube channel or do some DVDs!
love listening to you talking about bow making it all makes perfect sense to me I would love to meet you but I know it will never happen as I will never get to the usa
For Noel Grayson..amazing peopole.brave.wish you everything best for sl native american.wish i am closer to learn more stuff from you....best from Croatia...
I enjoyed your video very much. I plan to make my own bow and arrows . Your videos will be a great help. It's time to retire my Matthews compound bows and go old school.
When he said he would use a shell to heat the glue in it made me happy because i recently found some big shells and was thinking of doing that exact same thing.
Thank you, jooleyen! We are currently working on new video featuring some more amazing crafts and their makers (including more weaponry), so make sure to stay tuned.
I'm probably 0nly 12% Percent Cherokee but I love every bit of it...I would love to teach my daughters how to make boW & aRRoWs....proudly says.....BackyardSKY 🌐
The kind of stones that make good arrowheads I see once every 5 years or so, they aren't that common where I live. But deer antler, bone, glass, maby a piece of scrap metal, those are things I can more easily get my hands on.
Very nice voice, slow and quiet (as mostly native voices), peacefull, I love his explanations, it's like "good sense", normal, just natural... It's often like that for natives. It's should be like that for white people too, but most of the time, it's not :) I don't know if I explained it well... It's just ful off good sense, everything make sense, you know? Stay natural, use what the nature gave, respect the natural logic. Just find to good way to work with it, don't go against it.
I have a clay block I found year's ago with groves made into it where they would heat it in a fire and run the arrow shaft though it to shape the arrow. Also found many arrow heads and cutting stones in the same general area.
We Europeans only found out about that stuff from someone else. Egyptians, Greeks etc. These people and Australian Aboriginals had no contact with the technology. Aboriginals didn't bother with the bow coz the spear did everything they needed. They really used a bigger atlatl. So don't go getting all racially superior.
Ryan gill does something smart with his cane arrows, before he puts in the arrow head he inserts a smaller piece of cane into the hole of the river cane, Reinforces the structural integrity and adds some weight.
