Walking Together

This bestselling, innovative picture book introduces readers to the concept of Etuaptmumk-or Two-Eyed Seeing, the gift of multiple perspectives in the Mi''kmaw language-as we follow a group of young children connecting to nature as their teacher. A poetic, joyful celebration of the Lands and Waters as spring unfolds: we watch for Robin''s return, listen for Frog''s croaking, and wonder at maple tree''s gift of sap. Grounded in Etuaptmumk, also known as Two-Eyed Seeing-which braids together the strengths of Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of knowing-and the Mi''kmaq concept of Netukulimk-meaning to protect Mother Earth for the ancestors, present, and future generations-Walking Together nurtures respectful, reciprocal, responsible relationships with the Land and Water, plant-life, animals and other-than-human beings for the benefit of all.
