M1 P3 Placed Based Learning

Through reading the documents and resources provided by the organization, Actua, I was able to learn about two-eyed seeing (Actua, 2022). That is the notion that due to our historical and current education systems and ways of learning, we cannot expect that students, due to their exposure, can only see or understand knowledge from one lens. As they may already be exposed to the Western lens and as we acknowledge how we are situated in a land and community that also values the Indigenous lens, true understanding and decolonizing occurs if we learn from both eyes, or both Western and Indigenous perspectives. This organization provides informations to students, educators and policymakers that can be informative to how we can support an Indigenous way of knowing in terms of STEM while being heavily influence by the mainstream or western gaze.
