A huge thank you to Len Pierre and his team for the insightful presentation on Two-Eyed Seeing (2ES)! 🙏✨ Your session brilliantly explained to our staff how 2ES integrates both Western and Indigenous worldviews, providing a valuable opportunity for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants to expand their perspectives. This approach helps us better understand and support Indigenous peoples and programs. We truly appreciate your guidance in helping us learn how to incorporate Indigenous knowledge and values into our professional frameworks, from philosophy to policy to practice. Your contribution has been incredibly enriching. 🌿💡Len Pierre Learn more about Len Pierre: https://lnkd.in/gDXVsW6a
