A goal of this project is exhibiting high-quality artwork that gives viewers an experience that moves the soul and informs about the history and culture of the area, particularly during the time depicted in Friberg's Mountie paintings, which include late Fur Trade, Treaty, and early settlement eras. Another goal of this project in terms of measurable outcomes is to receive positive public reaction through visitor comments and observable visitation numbers. The SAHS will assess this work by comments in the museum guest book, talking with visitors about their experience, donations, and by keeping a count of museum visitors, as well as press reviews on social media mentions.
The project activities addressed and achieved the artistic goals by displaying the mountie paintings loaned from the Tweed museum, developing and displaying an Ojibwe cultural exhibit, and featuring Ojibwe presenters and artists at events and in galleries.
