Braiding Indigenous Knowledge and Western Science Through Two-Eyed Seeing

Description

Join us for a conversation with Elder Dr. Albert Marshall, the renowned Mi’kmaw Elder who introduced the concept of Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing. This approach blends the strengths of Indigenous knowledge systems and Western science to create holistic and sustainable solutions.

In this session, Dr. Marshall will share his experience from working with communities (including Antigonish Nova Scotia where he and partners have initiated a local project focused on Etuaptmumk) to weave Indigenous principles like Netukulimk – Mi’kmaw sustainability law s– into climate action. Through stories and lessons learned, participants will explore how braiding knowledges can foster collaboration, inter-generational learning, and new perspectives in addressing the climate crisis.

Whether you’re a municipal climate officer, grassroots organizer, educator, or curious learner, this webinar will offer valuable insights on co-creating a future rooted in mutual respect and understanding. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from a leading voice in Indigenous knowledge and climate resilience.
