“Reconciling Ways of Knowing, Dialogue 4: Two-Eyed Seeing & Beyond” originally aired on October 28, 2020. This session featured Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall, Drs. Jesse Popp, Andrea Reid, and Deborah McGregor, moderated by Jacquie Miller, MA. They explored Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing, a guiding principle developed by Elder Marshall.

Etuaptmumk emphasizes integrating two or more perspectives for improved outcomes. Understood as a gift of multiple viewpoints, this framework enhances our shared lives, including our relationship with the Earth. The discussion highlighted how Two-Eyed Seeing necessitates collaborative learning and understanding, drawing parallels with the Two-Row Wampum for guiding cross-cultural collaboration.
