Erika Larsen spent a year and half traveling across the United States looking for its next generation of hunters and the children she found put a fresh face on an ancient practice.
As children learn to hunt, they not only carry on a sacred tradition, but also learn to embrace the environment. They experience up close the lessons of life and death and become part of that cycle.
No longer just observers, these children are working parts of nature.

Hunting is a tradition that has been passed down through families for centuries. In some places it is a means of survival, in others a sacred sport.

For everyone, learning to hunt is a coming of age.
