Elder Dr. Albert Marshall defines Etuaptmumk<\/em> (Two-Eyed Seeing) as \u201clearning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous ways of knowing, and to see from the other eye with strengths of Western ways of knowing, and to use both of these eyes together.\u201d (Bartlett, Marshall, & Marshall, 2012, p. 335).<\/p>\r\n

Two-Eyed Seeing generally means weaving together Western science as a way of knowing with traditional or Indigenous knowledge. It means acknowledging different perspectives and engaging with various forms of knowledge, research, worldviews, and values in a co-learning journey that is built on respect, community, meaningful relationships, and reciprocity. Bartlett, Marshall, and Marshall (2012) explain this concept in more depth and explain how \u201cwe need each other and must engage in a co-learning journey.\u201d (p. 331)<\/p>\r\n
