Very inspirational! Thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful snowshoes. Awesome craftsmanship, there should be more videos like this to teach traditional skills.

GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU FOR DOCUMENTING BUTCH'S CRAFTING TECHNIQUES' A VERY INTERESTING MIX OF THE TRADITIONAL AND THE PRACTICAL. HE IS ONE OF A HANDFUL OF OLD MAKERS LEFT. I MET BUTCH YRS AGO AND HAVE A PAIR OF HIS SHOES AND SEVERAL OF HIS CRAFTING TOOLS IN MY COLLECTION. HELLO TO AN OLD FRIEND FROM BILL IN MAINE

love this

Awesome, Makes mw want to grab my bow and dance then hunt!

Hi Ben, She is JUST amazing

This Man has so much skill wow, blows my mind. Beautiful dance quite intricate . Danced for all his life and that makes him look real young & healthy.

What do you charge for them?

These are great videos, thanks for sharing!

This is Indian Pete's tribal tradition, the traditional Gwich'in Athabascan Indian fiddling and dances since 1847! Old Time Fiddling Dance

Thank you so much for sharing this video!! What an honor to learn from a master. Cheers!

Thanks for posting this. I was married in the Kantishna Mining District in 1989 while on a backbacking trip. My wife probably thinks that I am a cheapskate, but what a wonderful experience! Thanks for posting this!

is that an 1895 rifle you used to hunt that caribou? might i ask what calibre did you use?

video well done, awsome learning. I teach my students to make snow shoes but we use synthic net mending twine. But to tan and lace yours is a lost art

Very interesting ! Nice craftmanship.

I would like to purchase a pair. How can I get ahold of him?

This kind of knowledge is why i love life.

He was a close friend of mine, a genuine good human being, he used to party with our band "Still Smokin" at the Cabaret in downtown Fairbanks. He will truly be missed, a good friend and great artist !

How come we don't have reality shows like this!! I would watch all the time.Thank you so much for the education!

Update; fact; Did some acting a bit for (3) months on Shakespear-"King Lear" under a new Gwich'in Indian version and now back to training the youth native dancers at the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center in Fairbanks Alaska for (3) years and I truly believe this model of mentoring and building resumes is the best way for future leaders of our Alaska native people. Retiring from our armed forces and still caring is the word here, gwinzii!

Nice =]

she. is. amaaazing!

Inspiring, James!!!

I wouldn't think you would need to fuse the ends... Once the wood dries, if there is any gap to it, it should end up getting held together when you stretch the hide over it.

cool. seen a few elders from around my village area.

how do you fuse the 2 ends of the birch when you're wrapping it?

I truly was so moved by your spirt in the drum tks so much for sharing newfoundland indian tks brother.

is this Cree style? Love the drum stick. I think I will try one of these.

is this Cree style?

Awsome,very,very much!!!!

Awsome,very,very much!!!!
