Cheyenne (’23 Child and Youth Study, MSVU) is the Coordinator + Comms Assistant with the Two-Eyed Seeing Program.
“Working on the mural has been a joy. Through celebrating Mi’kmaw culture, I’ve learned about beautiful aspects often missing in education. I'm excited to share that beauty through art"

“It means a lot that I can express myself at MSVU during this project. I have ADHD and a learning disability. I hope my work shows others that different kinds of learners belong in academic spaces."
- Grace, 14-year-old Afro-Indigenous artist
Mural unveiling: Oct 22, 4:30PM, MSVU Library

Krista Collier-Jarvis (L’nu/Mi’kmaw) is an Assistant Prof in English & Co-Lead of the Two-Eyed Seeing Program. “Two-Eyed Seeing lets me unapologetically be myself. As a mixed Mi’kmaw/settler, I’ve often questioned my place in community. TES allows me to explore what it means to be Indigenous today.”

We had an amazing time at the Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk on MSVU campus! It was a great reminder of how powerful our natural world is.

Thank you to the Captain Crow's Cafe and MSVU community garden for hosting this amazing event! 🌿

“Through the TES Program, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and learning from wonderful people. These experiences inspire me to mentor others, share Mi’kmaw culture, and encourage creativity as a path to healing.”

- Jessica Jerome: Two-Spirited Mi’kmaw artist, graphic designer, illustrator

Just look at those smiles! Krista and Shannan had a beautiful afternoon in Unama’ki with Elder Albert. As a thank-you, Krista gifted homemade blueberry-cranberry sauce, made with the Two-Eyed Seeing Program’s recipe. We’re so grateful for Elder Albert’s wisdom and support every time our team visits.

Testing, testing…is this thing on? We’re so excited to be joining Bluesky! 🦋

Our program is based in #Halifax #NovaScotia and built on the value of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing)-- looking at the world through more than one perspective.
