The Wilton Historical Society Presents: Etuaptmumk: Two Eyed Seeing Lecture

Join the Wilton Historical Society on Saturday, March 14, from 12:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. for the Etuaptmumk: Two Eyed Seeing Lecture

Etuaptmumk is a Mi’kmaw saying that translates to “Two – Eyed Seeing.” This concept refers to learning how to see from one eye the strengths of Indigenous knowledge, and from the other eye the strengths of Western knowledge. Two-Eyed Seeing can lead to powerful collaborative work between Native and Non-Native people with the goal of leaving the world a better place for future generations. Join educational outreach ambassador and traditional storyteller, Darlene Kascak, from the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation for an interactive presentation and discussion that examines how people can include this “Two-Eyed Seeing” concept in their daily lives.
