Where do the primitive skills that MAPS members practice come from?

0Rating:

Since primitive skills must be based upon the bioregional environment where they are practiced, most of our skills originate with the Eastern Woodland Indians that were indigenous to the mid-Atlantic region.

We are not trying to "be Indians," however, but rather attempting to reclaim the aboriginal knowledge that the native inhabitants of this land possessed.

We are trying to relearn and pass that knowledge on to others so that it is not forgotten. We believe that modern society must incorporate the spirit and earth-based philosophy behind that knowledge if it is to survive intact into the future.
