Two-Eyed Seeing: Elevating Indigenous Knowledge, Presence, and Worldviews for a World in Ecological Crisis
Our world is facing multiple crises, including climate change, environmental injustice, and biodiversity declines. More than ever, we will need to draw from different knowledge systems to meet the moment. This event will begin with a rich dialogue between Indigenous leaders, scientists, and historians to explore how Indigenous knowledge and worldviews can be elevated and work alongside western science and historical traditions (known as “Two-Eyed Seeing”) to create a healthier, more just world.

Attendances will have the opportunity to witness an Artist performance by Danza Azteca that shares the legacy of Mesoamerican culture. Their sacred rhythms and movements will connect all those who bear witness..
