Across cultures and throughout history, the ritual of the hunt has been the center of gravity for a community’s way of life, despite its decreasing relevance in western culture. We explore what goes into preparing for a hunt, what parts of this ritual are being lost to changing culture and climate change, and the spiritual nature of connecting with the land.
Tank will meet with Jonathan, founder of Black Duck Revival in Arkansas to discuss how people of color have always been deeply tied to the land, despite stereotypes that hunting is for predominantly white men, and Dale Bordelon, owner of Bayou Beast Duck Calls to see how he keeps old traditions alive.
