Join the Stratford Historical Society for a program in partnership with The Institute for American Indian Studies, that teaches us “how to see the strengths of Indigenous knowledge from one eye and the strengths of Western knowledge from the other.” The program is led by Darlene Kascak, of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation.

Etuaptmumk is a Mi’kmaw saying that translates to “Two-Eyed Seeing.” This concept refers to learning how to see the strengths of Indigenous knowledge from one eye and the strengths of Western knowledge from the other. Two-Eyed Seeing can lead to powerful transcultural and collaborative work to leave the world a better place for future generations.

IAIS Education Outreach Ambassador and Traditional Storyteller Darlene Kascak, Schaghticoke Tribal Nation, and IAIS Educator and ecologist Susan Scherf developed this program to facilitate discussions on how people can incorporate the “Two-Eyed Seeing” concept into their daily lives.
