The survival of humanity hinged on the ability to hunt for food. The hunting and foraging skills of our ancestors ensured the existence of all present-day individuals.
In several societies, a successful hunt symbolized the transition from a dependent member to a contributing one of the community.
However, numerous cultures have lost touch with this age-old rite of passage. The “Forgotten Rites” initiative seeks to boost the engagement and visibility of underrepresented communities in the realm of hunting.
The program will offer education and experiential opportunities to those who wish to reconnect with their ancestral legacy through hunting and spending time in nature.
We aspire that those who choose to rediscover these “Forgotten Rites” will establish a profound connection with themselves, the natural world, and their distinctive heritages.
Our vision is to promote inclusivity and diversity in the hunting community by fostering a welcoming environment for underrepresented communities. We aim to inspire and empower individuals to embrace the hunting lifestyle and culture, and to become active participants in preserving and celebrating our hunting heritage.
At the heart of our mission is the restoration of the hunting heritage and traditions that have been lost in underrepresented communities. Through the Forgotten Rites program, we seek to reintroduce and educate individuals on the benefits of hunting and the importance of conservation efforts. We strive to provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals to learn, connect, and grow within the hunting community.
Note: Hunting mentorship is for everyone and the foundation does not charge for hunting mentorship.
The First Hunt Foundation is a National non-profit 501(c)(3), with the mission to “Keep the Hunting Heritage Alive.” We have mentors throughout the United States that have selflessly volunteered their time to support this mission. Every mentor passes a vigorous background check and agrees to the ‘Mentor’s Creed’, to participate in our programs.
