The Lakehead University Etuaptmumk bimoseng (Two-Eyed Seeing Walk) is a land-based learning experience that invites participants to explore the Indigenous history before contact, culture and relationships connected to the lands surrounding the Thunder Bay campus.

Etuaptmumk bimoseng (pronunciation) (Two-Eyed Seeing Walk) brings together both Indigenous and Western knowledge systems together in a balancing framework.

Guided along Lake Tamblyn, McIntyre River, and surrounding campus lands, participants engage with teachings connected to Anthropology, Indigenous traditional medicines, Treaties, colonization and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The experience encourages participants to better understand the significance of reconciliation through experiential learning from the land.

Etuaptmumk bimoseng (Two-Eyed Seeing Walk) is currently being offered to faculty and students at Lakehead University as part of its pilot phase.

 Meet at the Climate Action Park (firepit by Lake Tamblyn).
