Dialogue 4: Resources for further reading
October's dialogue, "Two-Eyed Seeing and Beyond," brought together speakers Elder Albert Marshall, and Drs Jesse Popp, Andrea Reid and Deborah McGregor, in dialogue with moderator Jacquie Miller, MA, to discuss the gift of understanding through multiple perspectives.
There was enthusiastic interest from participants for a list of resources / reading materials the panelists would recommend to learn more about understanding across ways of knowing, including through Etuaptmumk / Two-Eyed Seeing, Gä•sweñta’/Two-Row Wampum, and the Dish with One Spoon Wampum.
We are grateful to our speakers and participants for their contributions to building this list, and pleased to be able to share that list with you below.
