WECAN is excited to announce the new Ponca Earthen Lodge Project for Food Sovereignty in Ponca Nation, Oklahoma. This vital initiative, led by Indigenous Ponca elder Casey Camp-Horinek and the Women's Society, addresses the escalating climate crisis and severe fossil fuel pollution impacting the region.

The traditional Earthen Lodge will provide a safe haven during extreme weather and climate disasters. It will also offer space to grow and store traditional foods using generational Indigenous knowledge, support cultural ceremonies, and address rising domestic violence.

“Reconciling Ways of Knowing, Dialogue 4: Two-Eyed Seeing & Beyond” originally aired on October 28, 2020. This session featured Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall, Drs. Jesse Popp, Andrea Reid, and Deborah McGregor, moderated by Jacquie Miller, MA. They explored Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing, a guiding principle developed by Elder Marshall.

Etuaptmumk emphasizes integrating two or more perspectives for improved outcomes. Understood as a gift of multiple viewpoints, this framework enhances our shared lives, including our relationship with the Earth. The discussion highlighted how Two-Eyed Seeing necessitates collaborative learning and understanding, drawing parallels with the Two-Row Wampum for guiding cross-cultural collaboration.
