Two Eyed Seeing is an approach that takes Indigenous way of knowing and living and integrate that with Western ideals. As discussed in the video, Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall from Eskasoni First Nation in Atlantic Canada has described that one eye is responsible to recognize the strengths of the indigenous knowledges while the other eye learns to see the strengths of the mainstream sciences. Marshall has added that is important to see with BOTH eyes as they are very valuable and both can be achieved for the benefits of mankind and the earth.
“Two-Eyed Seeing, in that it speaks directly to the setting of collaborative, cross-cultural work, intentionally seeks to avoid the situation becoming a clash between knowledges, domination by one worldview, or assimilation by one worldview of the knowledge of another”
