Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Seven Native artists will participate in the War Ponies workshop, along with fifteen urban Native youth, and a photo display of the workshop will be presented at the Two Rivers Gallery as part of the Horse Nation exhibit, to which we anticipate over 200 audience members. The majority of Native youth-- over 80% will report they learned about their history and culture, the role of horses in Plains Indian culture, and the ways art was used to honor the horse, and share their stories. We will utilize sign-in sheets for the workshop, and the exhibit, to keep track of the numbers of participants or attendees. We will conduct brief interviews with the youth, on video, which will document what they learned and what they liked about the workshop experience.
