Some Indigenous elders have described these times as “Entering the Narrows”, a metaphor indicating that our human family is facing great challenges, and a signal for readiness. When we reflect on this idea, what do we visualize? Symbolic modes of communication can deepen our shared understanding of what is to come, and how we might navigate this experience effectively together. Poetry has long been a language all its own; a kind of symbolic shorthand that helps us to imagine possibilities while framing human experience in a way that stirs emotion. Let’s explore the implications of these ideas through the lens of another Indigenous concept; Etuapmumk or Two-Eyed Seeing. How can we work together to help create a better human future through creative discourse based on these two key concepts?
