For thousands of years, people of almost every culture have sought to create and control fire. No matter where you are from in the world, your ancestors used fire to cook food, provide warmth, and survive. Whether your ancestors were buckskin wearing Europeans, Norse, Maori, Asian, African, or any other area of the world, fire is a connection to your primal self, and family lineage. You are alive today because somewhere in the far distant past, your ancestors started a fire with a bow drill.

Barefoot Bushcraft acknowledges the land on which we gather was the historic territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous peoples.
