(1)11 February 2009; Surrey Campus. WORKSHOP PRESENTATION. Introduction to Integrative Science &. Two-Eyed Seeing Cheryl Bartlett, PhD Canada Research Chair in Integrative Science Professor of Biology, Sydney, Nova Scotia.

(2) WORKSHOP PRESENTATION Introduction to Integrative Science and Two-Eyed Seeing (abstract). Integrative Science is defined as “bringing together Indigenous and Western scientific knowledges and ways of knowing” for the purposes of science education, research, applications, and outreach to Aboriginal youth and community. It uses a view of science that enables cultural inclusivity, namely that science is “dynamic, patternbased knowledge about our interactions with and within nature”. The workshop will explain and explore the “pattern conceptual framework” developed within Integrative Science. The framework is based in pattern recognition, transformation, and expression and it explicitly seeks to enable transit of pedagogy and praxis across boundaries of methodologies, disciplines, and world views. In this regard, it enables understandings as to how the privileging of different “human pattern smarts” creates variations in the ways we assemble and transmit science knowledge. The importance of invoking an understanding of “The Learning Spirit” will also be considered..

(7) “LEARN ... to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western (or Eurocentric or mainstream) knowledges and ways of knowing … and to use both these eyes together, for the benefit of all.”. Elder Albert Marshall Eskasoni community Mi’kmaq Nation.

(8) The breath of life versus the embodiment of life: Indigenous knowledge and western research WIN-HEC Journal 2007 (World Indigenous Nations – Higher Education Consortium) CINDY BLACKSTOCK Executive Director, First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada Despite the diversity of Aboriginal cultures, there are several common fundamental differences between Aboriginal and western epistemologies1) Aboriginal peoples believe their ancestor were rights on most things and western peoples: believe their ancestors were either mostly wrong or their ideas could be improved upon (Assembly of First Nations,1993; Auger, 2001), 2) Aboriginal peoples believe they hold the land and life knowledge in a sacred trust for the generations to follow whereas many western peoples believe they can own land and knowledge and use it for individual benefit with little concern for future generations (RCAP, 1996; Pinto, in press), and 3) Aboriginal knowledge is situation within more expansive concepts of space and time (Auger, 2001). From these differences, flow very different concepts.. 1. 2. 3.

(9) As knowledge trustees, whose job it is to understand and relay knowledge which has been passed down by generations before us, we pay great attention to the detail of the knowledge and the values and spirit embedded in it so that we can pass it on (Auger, 2001; Bennett & Blackstock, 2006). Because knowledge needs to echo across lifetimes and generations, multidimensional standards of rigor are needed to ensure knowledge is understood within the four directions of learning: spiritual, emotional, physical, and cognitive [emphasis added] and that each teaching is situated within an interconnected knowledge web (RCAP, 1996; Auger, 2001). cognitional. physical. spiritual. emotional.
