1978. Bukura carving arrowhead with rats jaw/tooth.

Bow & arrow

Scenes related to hunting with bow and arrow in 1978. The first video shows a man engaged with a common practice in Oksapmin communities: Carving arrow heads with the jaw bone/tooth of a rodent. The second video shows the man’s son displaying for me how to hunt with a bow and arrow.
