For many Native people in the United States, living in between cultural worlds is common. “Two Eyed Seeing”, or approaching a problem from multiple cultural perspectives at the same time, is a skill that many Native people have developed. It is this very experience that informs our work. We understand that problems, solutions, and possibilities cannot reach their potential when approached with one eye closed. To see the full picture, we must invite multiple cultural perspectives to the table, knowing that they are equally relevant and important.
