Two-Eyed Seeing in Health and Wellbeing

About the talk

A wider conversation about living well.

From my place as a Métis nurse, I bring nursing science and clinical learning into conversation with Indigenous ways of knowing and lived experience. The talk asks what we can notice when we take more than one way of seeing seriously, including relationships, roles, and the conditions that make care possible.

Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk) comes from Mi’kmaw Elders Albert and Murdena Marshall, developed in their work with Dr. Cheryl Bartlett. It asks us to bring the strengths of Indigenous and Western ways of knowing together with care and accountability. Read how I use this teaching in practice.

We can shape the examples for a health, education, workplace, or community setting.
