Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The historical value of this presentation is rare because of the unique nature of the topic. The Dakota language is not well known and the audience will learn about another language.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Clifford had a conversation with the audience throughout his presentation and the people were very interested in the topic. He was able to get very specific about the process and it was a special program for all of us.
