Unique Experiences

Noojitoon: Hunting Stories with the Bow & Arrow

Immerse yourself in a unique archery experience as we share our traditions and stories of the bow and arrow. Guided by national archery champions, owners Tracey and Tim will take you through a series of lessons on how to hold and shoot a bow and arrow, learning proper form and finally, progressing to target shooting.

Target Practice

As you progress from paper targets to our three-dimensional animal targets, you’ll receive supervised individual practice time to increase your skills.

At Painted Warriors, you’ll discover more than an outdoor adventure—we share our Indigenous ways of knowing so your connection to the land and the lessons learned here, might stay with you long after you leave the ranch.

What to bring

During your Noojitoon experience, you’ll be outside for 90 minutes so we suggest bringing a sweater and a jacket suitable to protect from rain as weather can shift quickly on the ranch. Also, please wear comfortable shoes that are suitable for uneven ground and support your balance during our lessons.

Be sure to bring your own bottle—we’re mindful of waste and do not supply plastic water bottles to our guests. We have water available to top up your reusable container at any time!

Before you join us at the Ranch

Groups are requested to arrive on site 10-15 min before the experience starts in order to use the restroom, wash and sanitize hands before the experience begins. Painted Warriors has four restrooms available for visitor use.

All of our guests will need to sign a tour waiver in advance and we ask that our guests review our Covid-19 safety protocols prior to arriving on the ranch. It’s very important to us to maintain safety for both guests and instructors at all times.

Asiginamaw: Stories of Traditional Gathering

Join us for a unique experience in the peaceful quiet of our forest and share in our Indigenous summer traditions. We’ll share our knowledge of natural navigation techniques, animal tracking techniques and fire lighting using traditional tools—all skills that were, and still are, relied upon today to thrive during the summer months.

Discover

As we explore the forest, you’ll learn about some of the medicinal and edible plants we traditionally relied upon during the summer months for healing and sustenance. We will take our time to learn how to chart our course using wind direction and other natural navigational clues available to us in the wild.

Campfire Circle

After our forest walk, we’ll return to a campfire circle and you’ll have a chance to sample some traditional Indigenous snacks that would have been eaten on the trail and taste a traditional blend of tea before leave the ranch.

What to bring

During your Noojitoon experience, you’ll be outside for 90 minutes so we suggest bringing a sweater and a jacket suitable to protect from rain as weather can shift quickly on the ranch.
