Reports on progress to be issued every 2 years. 12 6

7 DEVELOPING THE SET OF INDICATORS THROUGH TWO-EYED SEEING Two-Eyed Seeing is learning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledges & ways of knowing, & from the other eye with the strengths of Western knowledges & ways of knowing & learning to use both these eyes together, for the benefit of all, championed by Elder Albert Marshall (Mi kmaw Nation).

Existing strengths, such as Aboriginal ways of knowing & being, including connection to land, culture, language, community, & family balance, selfreliance etc. LINKED TO IMPROVED HEALTH AND WELLNESS OUTCOMES 16 8

9 SHIFTING THE PARADIGM: SICKNESS TO WELLNESS, DEFICITS TO STRENGTHS Many First Nations have especially good health and wellness outcomes.
