Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to successfully complete a pair of Anishinaabe-style winter moccasins, and to learn as much as possible about Anishinaabe clothing, footwear, and history from instructor and cultural specialist Greg Biskakone Johnson. Additionally, I hope to participate in and attend as many lectures and demonstrations as part of Hide Week at North House Folk School. I will know I've been successful when I complete the course and make a pair of Anishinaabe-style winter moccasins.
