“Reconciling Ways of Knowing, Dialogue 4: Two-Eyed Seeing & Beyond” originally aired on October 28, 2020. This session featured Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall, Drs. Jesse Popp, Andrea Reid, and Deborah McGregor, moderated by Jacquie Miller, MA. They explored Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing, a guiding principle developed by Elder Marshall.

Etuaptmumk emphasizes integrating two or more perspectives for improved outcomes. Understood as a gift of multiple viewpoints, this framework enhances our shared lives, including our relationship with the Earth. The discussion highlighted how Two-Eyed Seeing necessitates collaborative learning and understanding, drawing parallels with the Two-Row Wampum for guiding cross-cultural collaboration.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program kills over a million wild animals annually, often at the request of industrial agriculture. Using cruel traps and poisons, the program targets carnivores like coyotes, bears, and foxes, even impacting rare species such as grizzlies and wolves.

Our organization has worked for years to expose these federal wildlife-killing practices, successfully gaining protections for wildlife in several states.

Join Carnivore Conservation Director Collette Adkins and Senior Attorney Andrea Zaccardi for a presentation discussing Wildlife Services, the latest on grizzly bears, and the critical importance of state-level wolf conservation amidst potential national protection losses.
