Location: Cape Girardeau Nature Center

Learn to make your own primitive arrow using only hand tools. We will use Native Americans techniques with materials native to Missouri such as river cane, turkey feathers, deer sinew, pine pitch and more. Each participant will have the opportunity to make one arrow. Please bring leather gloves and a pocketknife. It would also be helpful to wear blue jeans for the heat straightening process.

Materials will be provided but participants may bring preferred personal resources.
