According to Jim Bruchac, director of the Ndakinna Wilderness Project, the program focuses on wilderness skills, animal tracking, wilderness survival, native storytelling and culture, and nature awareness. In this video segment from WILD TV, a guide describes how to camouflage a person's body to avoid being detected in the wilderness. A group of young people rub mud and ashes from a cold fire on themselves so they can get close enough to the animals to observe their natural behaviors. It's important to use your instincts and all of your senses to find tracks, determine what animal made them and understand the behaviors of the animal.
