Can Indigenous knowledge and Western science speak to each other without one dominating the other?
Our project is guided by the philosophy of “2-eyed seeing” — learning to see with one eye from Indigenous ways of knowing and with the other from Western frameworks, then using both eyes together. This approach, introduced by Mi’kmaw Elder Albert Marshall, invites mutual respect and co-creation rather than extraction or assimilation.
As we listen to animist Hmong beliefs and polytheistic Tày traditions, this lens helps us center equity, not just data.
