Elder Albert
Manage episode 358222017 series 3443164
How does someone become an elder in Mi'kmaw communities? What responsibilities does an elder carry, and how are they expressed?
During this episode, we meet with Elder Albert Marshall in his home in Eskasoni, Unama'ki (Cape Breton). Elder Marshall and his late wife, Murdena, developed Two-Eyed Seeing or Etuaptmumk, an approach that brings together the best of Indigenous knowledge with the best of Western science. Two-Eyed Seeing is now being applied across many fields internationally. Join Amanda in Elder Albert’s kitchen as we hear his thoughts about the values that underpin actions, and how thoughtful behaviour can inspire others to live with integrity.
