Native Walking Introduction

Learn what some call woods yoga - the art of weaving yourself through the landscape, as native humans and animals do, and as our ancestors did. Leave the trail and limiting habits behind, and get in touch with your body's natural agility and balance. This footage was taken in the 2013-14 Guardian-Warrior Training Program.

Hey Hiawatha, love the shorts and rubber stockings.

Much of this is learned naturally by the necessity of having to move and hunt in very rough and dense mountain terrain from a young age

[@aliciarose8683]

Do you have a source for which people walk like this? I’ve only been able to find videos of indigenous people walking a pretty typical heal-toe gait, leaving the shock absorption to the ankle/knee and never landing on the ball of the foot.

[@deeganindizhinikaaz8428]

How I have seen people go side of the ball then fully then heel

[@deeganindizhinikaaz8428]

Sorry it auto correct my thing I said oh not how

[@wildmama8285]

@@daisymarie2689 Interesting! Would he be interested in making a video? How often does he walk barefoot and on what kind of terrain?

What the hell....a white man TEACHING THE WAY OF NATIVES....making WAY TO MUCH NOISE in the woods....

[@CJRamos-jv3pb]

Exactly.

Breaking many things as well, left a trail easy for a tracker to follow.

[@jareth7456]

For all you native wannabes and apples 🍎......no matter how good you are in certain dry conditions you cannot help but to make some noise nor can any that go walking through the countryside without leaving some trace of his passing
......the best one can do is hide some of his trail spore and mask his noise as something else .....even if you move across bare rock a native tracker can still follow in your steps ....even tell many things about you....if you are man or woman....your age ....if right or left handed ....if you're white or native....if you are hungry or thirsty going to or from water .....which tribe your from ...if your tired ...if you are injured or sick and probably will know what mood you're in. But these things are easy more difficult to know your intentions , much can be known by your scent as well. The Apache could scent almost as well as a wolf . Almost , ....my son when he was five years old was with me at a doctors appointment and the nurse is sitting on the stool asking me the regular questions and my son says can I have that chocolate? The says what chocolate? My son says the chocolate in your pocket as he points to her left pocket of her nurses vest and she reaches in the pocket and her face I'll never forget that look ,she said she forgot she had a hershy mini in their and she asked him how he knew it was there , my son says I can smell it . It was a well earned piece of candy
