"When we walk together in a good way we learn to see and know the world through two eyes." Nature has rights, and we have responsibilities as storytellers, educators, artists and advocates to use our gifts to protect Mother Earth. Engage in an interactive session exploring Etuaptmumk, the gift of multiple perspectives in the Mi'kmaw language also known as Two-Eyed Seeing. Weaving the strengths of Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledges through the exchange of stories, learn more about how we came to co-create the picture book "Walking Together" (Annick Press), reading with all ages, including in a Land-Based Play and Co-Learning through Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing course. Through a collective, interactive re-telling of the story using puppets, actions and soundscapes, we will enhance each other’s understandings and perspectives on nurturing respectful, responsible, reciprocal and restorative co-learning relationships on and with the Land, wherever we are, for the benefit of all.
