TOM BROWN

Tom Brown, Jr. has to be the most well-known tracker and teacher of wilderness survival skills in North America. Through his tracking/ awareness school, he has taught thousands and thousands of people while writing numerous books on the "science and art" of tracking.

In 1981, John Stokes attended Tom's school and the two became great friends. Inspired by these classes, John carried Tom's teachings back to Australia that year. In 1984, John brought the tracking knowledge of Aboriginal tracker Jimmy James back to the Tracker school, assisting with Tom's classes for the next two years. He also initiated outreach to Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy) and other Native American communities.
