What is Two-Eyed Seeing?
“Two-Eyed Seeing is learning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western knowledge and ways of knowing … and learning to use both these eyes together, for the benefit of all.”
— Elder Dr. Albert Marshall of Eskasoni First Nation in Unama’ki (Cape Breton)
