“Two-Eyed Seeing and Learning from the Land”
Listen now on the Innovative Learning website or wherever you get your podcasts.
As we mark the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, 2021, we honour the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families and communities.
In reflection, we talk to Louise Zimanyi and Lynn Short about Humber's new Early Childhood Education (ECE) initiative, that focuses on teaching students, educators, and the community to co-learn from the land using Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives. Working with knowledge holders and elders in Ontario who are connected to the lands, the initiative is grounded in the principles of Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing (in the Mi'kmaq language).
"Two-Eyed Seeing reflects the interconnection of people and places within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, known as Adoobiigok, the “Place of the Alders,” by exploring ways of being, knowing and doing from Indigenous and non-Indigenous worldviews.”
