Weaving Ways of Knowing
Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing)
Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing):
Etuaptmumk (Mi’kmaw for Two-Eyed Seeing) is a framework for bringing knowledge systems together grounded in Mi’kmaq understandings of the gift of multiple perspectives. Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall describes Etuaptmumk as a process through which the strengths of Indigenous knowledges are seen through one eye, and the strengths of Western knowledges through the other, so that both distinct eyes may be used together for the benefit of all (Bartlett, Marshall, and Marshall, 2012).
