Hide Tanning Workshop with Andre StrongBearHeart Gaines, Jr.

This workshop welcomed non-Indigenous people to learn the Eastern Woodlands Indigenous process of "brain tanning" a deer hide. This full day experience guided folks through hands-on practice with the different stages of hide tanning. While this process cannot be completed in a single day, participants left with their hide and the knowledge to finish the process on their own.
