Two eyed Seeing
Mi'kmaq Elder Albert Marshall from Eskasoni First Nation in Atlantic Canada uses the phrase "Two-Eyed Seeing" as a guiding principle for collaboration between mainstream and Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing. He emphasizes that we need to learn to see from one eye with the strengths (or best) in the Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing and learn to see from the other eye with the strengths (or best) in the mainstream ... and, most importantly, we need to learn to see with both these eyes together for the benefit of all peoples and others on Mother Earth. The video features commentary about Two-Eyed Seeing by Elder Albert, his wife Elder Murdena, and their colleague Dr. Cheryl Bartlett at Cape Breton University.
