New Britain Public Library Hosting Etuaptmumk: Two-Eyed Seeing with The Institute for American Indian Studies

The New Britain Public Library is hosting Etuaptmumk: Two-Eyed Seeing with The Institute for American Indian Studies.

“Etuaptmumk,” the Library says, “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,” the Library adds, “Two-Eyed Seeing can lead to powerful transcultural and collaborative work to leave the world a better place for future generations. Join IAIS Education Director and Traditional Storyteller Darlene Kascak, Schaghticoke Tribal Nation, and IAIS Educator and ecologist Susan Scherf to discuss how people can include this ‘Two-Eyed Seeing’ concept in their daily lives.”

The event is Wednesday, November 18th 6:00 – 7:00pm in the Periodicals Room.
