I’ll go, you follow

Funded Amount: $20500
The “I’ll go, you follow” project is both a workshop series and a language nest. Inspired by the vibrant material culture of the Métis and the urgency to learn Michif, the workshops will provide materials and instruction over the course of several weeks to make a Métis capote jacket. Participants will learn to follow a pattern, cut fabric, and hand sew. Classes will offer worksheets and language lessons to encourage conversation and relationship building.
