Nurturing Kinship with Nature's Rhythms: Storying the Seasons through Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing LIMITED
Friday May 9, 2025 3:15pm - 4:30pm MDT
Beaver
In experiencing nature's cycles, each place has it own seasonal rhythms that unfold. The Grandmother Moons describe what is happening in nature at that time across Turtle Island and will be different depending on what Lands you are on. The book 'Walking Together' begins in early Spring: in Unama’ki (Cape Breton) it is Squoljuiku’s/Frogs Croaking Time Moon when the peepers are active; in Tkaronto (Toronto), the Tamarack trees are growing their blue-green needles. Berries-ripening or the strawberry moon will soon yield sweet fruit. Creating, nurturing and sustaining kinship through respectful and reciprocal relationships is essential to Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing and for the benefit of all. Reflecting on nature’s rhythms from where you are from (flora/fauna, migrations, waters, harvest, languages, traditions), you will create a seasonal storied circle. We will collectively collage our stories to reflect the gifts of multiple perspectives for the benefit of all.
