Northern lights season is upon us. 🌌 The northern lights are a dance that starts out slowly and progresses through a long dark northern night. Sometimes they look like spotlights, other times ribbons of light swirl and twirl through the stars. On nights when the aurora borealis burns brightest, dramatic green and red waves of light cascade from one side of the horizon to the other in a soul-stirring display. No matter how the aurora borealis presents itself, one thing is certain: It needs to be seen with two eyes to be truly appreciated. Canada’s Indigenous Peoples have a unique way of viewing the world and all things in it – including the northern lights. The Mi'kmaw word “etuaptmumk” means “two-eyed seeing.” One eye sees using Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing. The other eye sees with the strength of Western knowledge. The Mi'kmaw believe that we must learn to use both eyes together. If you see the northern lights without an Indigenous perspective, not only are you using just one eye, but you’re missing out on seeing a complete picture.
