HUNTERS OF COLOR

Meet Joshua Hood-Martin, an artist, hunter, and bow maker of the Klamath-Modoc and Pascua Yaqui tribes. He’s also the indigenous programs and outreach manager for Hunters of Color. In collaboration with Henry rifles, Joshua handpainted a brass lever action .45-70 made with genuine American walnut. Much of the design is inspired by being out on the land. He describes his style as very modern while still honoring tradition. Nature and wildlife is the prominent theme throughout the rifle’s design, and it’s also packed with indigenous symbolism for balance, the four seasons, inclusion, and the artist’s own views and experiences. Henry was able to auction off the rifle to benefit Hunters of Color and raised over $7,000!
