Title: Need some help fellas for a good cause. Fletchings
Post by: IndianGuy on September 09, 2013, 02:56:56 pm

Hello all. I am starting my second year of teaching a bow and arrow making class at the Native American Boarding school I work at. My kids 10th 11th and 12th graders need some legal wing feathers for fletching the dogwood arrows we will be making. I have cut all the bow wood myself for this years class with help from a fellow teacher. We have everything we need except fletching feathers.
Any one that could possibly send a few if they have any extra would sure help out these deserving kids. The only thing I have to trade is pictures of the finished arrows the kids will make. This class teaches Native American kids from various reservations archery history, bow making and arrow making.
If you can help send me a messg for more info.
Thanks.
Eric

Thank you all very much, this class is one of a kind and the only class of it's type at any boarding school that I'm aware of. This years students make up a wide variety of tribes and include both boys and girls.
I have Navajo, acoma pueblo,havasupai, Sioux, white mountain apache and several others.
I will post pics of our adventures.

Again thank you for sharing and helping us keep this important cultural tradition alive and well for years to come.
