What many call "primitive", we call finely tuned technology and skill. As an example, just try and produce a Pima pine needle basket, a Hopi or a Navajo rug, a Cahokia flint point, or clothing, shelter, tools, weapons, medicines and foods from the raw materials and the flora and fauna around you and immediately at hand. You will quickly discover that a lot of knowledge and planning are involved. You find that an understanding of many many different and various materials are required, as well as a knowledge of the habits and the seasons of the plants and the animals that inhabit the world around you. From that perspective, a deep appreciation and consequently a respect and even love for creation begins to emerge. This knowledge can still be learned from those who know and are willing to teach.
As you explore our presence on the World Wide Web, we hope that you find some inspiration to begin your own quest for a knowledge of the everyday skills, cultures, and lifestyles of the "traditional American aboriginal", while keeping in mind that cultures and races all over the globe at some point and time in history practiced these same skills as relevant to their particular area of habitation and existence. Flint points and medicinal plants were found with "The Iceman" who had been buried under the snow in northern Italy for thousands of years.
Therefore we clearly see that the art of flintknapping and the utilization of flint points and blades are not relegated to only one race or culture of peoples. Many believe that only the Native Americans before European contact were the only race and culture to ever use flint blades. Not true. It was however the cultures and peoples of the rest of the world that went on to the discovery and widespread and predominant use of metal in the manufacture of these items. All of our ancestors no matter what our racial heritage used stone tools, points, and blades at some point in our common history.
We offer for your consideration, some of our own one of a kind hand crafted replications of Aboriginal American technology and history. We are offering some of our pieces for sale for you to have to inspire your own imagination and to add to the decor of your own home, office, or favorite place: wherever your creativity leads you.
Our pieces are antiqued with a fine patina and made to look ancient and old. While the bows might work in a pinch, we do not guarantee them as shooters and are sold primarily as decorator art and intended for viewing enjoyment and/or conversation pieces.
