Jon Young.
This is who I chose to follow for my ACT1. I am getting updates of all website activity to my email account as this the easiest for me to track what he is doing.
Jon Young is not a social innovator... he is a social creator. He has originally mentored as a naturalist by Tom Brown Jr. He then went off and got a bachelors degree in natural history and anthropology. He has studies indigenous ways all over the world in a multitude of cultures. Once he finds a link between cultures on at least 3 different continents, he will then incorporate this into his cultural teachings. And, his hobby seems to start pockets of sub-culture using these principles. One example is the Wilderness Awareness School (
http://www.wildernessawareness.org/) in Washington State, USA. I highly recomend their Kamana training program and have personal worked on Kamana 1 and 2... Hope to start 3 before August.
Jon has given over 1000 public presentations and has helped many PhD
and Masters students as well as undergraduates with the completion of their degrees on topics ranging from native education to wildlife tracking. Having spent a good part of 9 months with Jon and his instructors at the Institute of Nature Awareness, I can vouch for his abilities. The fact is, if I told you some of the things I've seen him and his advanced students do or accomplish, you wouldn't believe me (same goes for Tom Brown Jr) unless you saw it yourself. But, as a teaser I can tell you that Jon can track mountain lions or high flying Peregrin falcons just by watching and listening to birds. He can predict the presents of quietly walking humans on a forest trail 5 minutes before they are visible to the eye. I've also seen him change peoples lives with his cultural teachings. His website is jonyoung.org. He also started the Shikari tracking guild.
Here is a bio for Jon:
