SUMMARY:Patricia Saulis\, “Creating Space for Balance: Indigenous Knowledge and Western Science — Two-Eyed Seeing — in Environmental Justice and Media”
DESCRIPTION:Two-eyed seeing has been a contemporary concept  by two Indigenous Mikmaq Elders in Cape Breton Canada. Through the use of Indigenous Oral Tradition\, Elders Dr. Albert Marshall and Dr. Murdena Marshall have participated in many recordings of their concept and teachings. Their appearances at conferences across Canada and the United States provided many venues to share their work. In this presentation\, Patricia Saulis will feature clips of the Elders speaking and provide some perspective on how their work could be brought forward in discussions of Environmental Justice and Media. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Patricia Saulis\n\n\n\nPatricia Saulis is Executive Director of the Maliseet Nation Conservation Council and a member of the Maliseet tribe of Indigenous people\, whose lands lie along the Saint John River watershed on both sides of the US and Canadian border in Northeast Maine and Southern New Brunswick. Ms. Saulis is an experienced tribal policy administrator\, environmentalist\, and educational planner\, and has a very extensive background working in tribal organizations on matters of social well-being\, education and environmental sustainability. \n\n\n\nIn the midst of a highly fluid environment of changing political\, economic\, partnership\, and financial circumstances\, Ms. Saulis keeps the mission of restoring Wolastoq/St John Watershed in accordance with Maliseet rights and cultural stewardship squarely in her sights. \n\n\n\nMs. Saulis also has an impressive background in public health issues and policy surrounding First Nations communities throughout Canada. These experiences cover the breadth of important and current issues that impact Indigenous communities and represent her strong background and commitment in ensuring the betterment of not just her own Indigenous community but those of the entirety of North America.
