Two-Eyed Seeing in Conservation Partnerships
Event Details
The concept of Etuaptmumk, the Mi’kmaw term for Two-Eyed Seeing, has emerged as a promising framework for cross-cultural collaboration as non-Indigenous organizations increasingly seek to support Indigenous conservation leadership. Mi’kmaw Elder Albert Marshall coined this term to describe an approach of bringing together the best of multiple knowledge systems to work toward a common goal.
Despite increasing calls to apply Two-Eyed Seeing in conservation partnerships, confusion exists around what it looks like in practice. This training aims to clarify that question, drawing from initiatives across Canada where the concept is being applied. It takes the form of three online workshops inspired by Elder Albert Marshall’s approach to co-learning, with an emphasis on collective sharing, reflection and responsibility for action, as well as opportunities for questions and dialogue.
