(15) Integrative Framework Co-Learn both Indigenous and Western, plus: • our roles (you and me) in “the knowing” - science as dynamic, pattern-based knowledge - visuals to facilitate cross-cultural communication. • our common ground • our differences (and respect them) • our journey … forward & together -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. TRY HARD TO AVOID … simply Western plus bits and pieces of Indigenous.

(26) Integrative Science … a Journey of Co-Learning and Two-Eyed Seeing.

(27) To Co-Learn and use “Two-Eyed Seeing” we must TALK-WALK the “know, do, value” of our cultural strengths, differences, and common ground..

(28) We must become able to put the “know, do, value” aspects of our own science in front of us … like an object … and then we must develop the abilities to look at and walk around them … talk about them, acknowledge them, take ownership of them, understand them, and then put them beside those of another worldview … to see our mutual strengths and to begin working together in a respectful manner..
