In Focus: The Arrow

About This Module

Native Americans employed several necessary skills, using only the items available to them in the environment, to make all the tools they needed for daily life.  This included arrows to hunt with.  Join Primitive Technologist Jim Dina to learn about how this crucial Stone Age hunting tool was created, from start to finish.

This program is suitable for general audiences.  If you are an educator, please see our programs made for schools which feature complementing teaching aids.
