| Summary: | Warrior Up! is a documentary series that follows Indigenous youth across Turtle Island who are standing up and making change, transforming their communities, their lands and their lives for the better. Episode 1: In this episode, host Joel Oulette travels to L'ilwat First Nation in British Columbia, Canada to meet a teen who seems to have come from another era. Seventeen-year-old Talon Pascal has spent years learning ancient, nearly lost skills and arts. From hunting on horseback to building pit houses, flintknapping, and constructing bows and arrows, Talon aims to live off the land just as his ancestors did. Joel takes a magical journey into his impressive pit house, tries horseback archery, and then joins Talon at an Indigenous Men's Wellness Gathering, discovering first-hand the impact Talon is making by teaching these skills to other Indigenous men, many of who've lost contact with their heritage.
