SUMMARY:Mi’kmaw Moons: A Two-Eyed Seeing Project
DESCRIPTION:Cathy (Acadia First Nation) and Dave (Royal Astronomical Society of Canada) have spent nearly 10 years learning about the full Moons of the Mi’kmaq using two eyes: indigenous culture and Western astronomy. The full Moon names relate to the natural phenomena of the time of year while the cycles derive from the orbital motion of the Earth and Moon. Their knowledge-seeking journey culminated in the best-selling book Mi’kmaw Moons: Through the Seasons (Formac 2022). In this presentation\, you will hear some Holly and Auntie stories\, learn some Mi’kmaw words\, and see how astronomy usually gives us 12 full Moons a year\, but sometimes 13.\n\nStarting in July and running until the end of August\, MTRI will be hosting weekly seminars on Thursday evenings from 7 – 8 p.m. These seminars will be hybrid so you can join online or stop into our field station at 9 Mt Merritt Rd\, Kempt to join us and grab some snacks and light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Sit Back Seminar: Salinity and the Atlantic Whitefish
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Whitefish has an impressive evolutionary history\, and as an endemic species that only lives in Nova Scotia represents an important part of Canadian biodiversity. However\, this importance is not matched by a wealth of information about the species\, and much remains unknown about this little fish except that it is in danger of being lost forever. Join us and Emily Yeung (She/Her)\, MSc Candidate at Dalhousie University\, for her Sit Back Seminar\, Thursday\, June 29\, 7-8 p.m.\, on her research exploring the physiological ability of the last remaining population of Atlantic Whitefish\, which has been landlocked for the better part of a century\, to exploit marine habitats as we believe their ancestors did\, to restore anadromous populations of Atlantic Whitefish. \nTo join our seminar\, you can register via https://us02web.zoom.us/…/tZwvcOmrqDoiHdaEVlrols23D1FUz… or join our Facebook live stream.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Nova Scotia Herp Atlas and Migrating Amphibians
DESCRIPTION:Join Coastal Action and the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute (MTRI) to chat about the NS Herp Atlas and how you can get involved!\n​\nHave you ever come across a snake\, frog\, turtle\, or salamander and wondered what species it is? If it’s common or rare? If you should let someone know about it? Great news\, it’s never been easier to identify a species or submit your sightings to the people working to save these species! The only tool you need is in your pocket right now. \n\nJoin us online on May 4th at 7 pm as we showcase the Nova Scotia Herp Atlas. This citizen science project\, led by MTRI and hosted on the iNaturalist App\, is tracking the distributions of Nova Scotia’s 12 reptile and 13 amphibian species. Attendees will also learn about volunteer opportunities to collect data on herptiles in Nova Scotia.  \n  \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwscOiqqzkoHtLQFy17GbJhJLq8DPRm9pYg#/registration

SUMMARY:MTRI Sit Back Seminar: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Microscopic Universe Under the Sea
DESCRIPTION:When you think of ocean ecosystems\, you likely think of fish\, seaweed\, whales\, dolphins\, lobsters\, or other large species! But Rebecca Stevens-Green\, PhD Candidate at Dalhousie University\, is thinking about what she sees under the microscope\, phytoplankton! Phytoplankton are the building blocks of marine ecosystems. They form the basis of the food chain and play a role in our climate by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transporting it to the deep ocean. Join us and Rebecca for our Sit Back Seminar on April 27 from 7-8 p.m. for a talk on the importance of these tiny “bugs”\, how they take up carbon dioxide and how we study the things we can’t see! \n  \nTo join our seminar\, you can register here https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUtf-usqzwpGdEKwVRVjUqy7wrNcdmsYmWw or join our Facebook live stream.

SUMMARY:Toqlika’ti’kw (Walking Together): March Break Day
DESCRIPTION:Come out with MTRI and the Ulnooweg Education Centre for an afternoon of free family fun\, nature activities and an immersive two-eyed seeing (Etuaptmumk) learning opportunity. We will have speakers from MTRI\, Ulnooweg\, and local communities to talk and host activities about biodiversity\, Indigenous knowledge\, community science and the guiding principle developed by Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall\, Etuaptmumk. Etuaptmumk is a perspective of seeing the world that recognizes better outcomes are more likely if we bring two or more perspectives into collaboration\, creating balance. With one eye\, we view the world through Indigenous ways of knowing and with the other eye\, we view the world through Western\, or Eurocentric\, ways of knowing.  \n  \nOur events will include:  \n\nA guided hike through an old-growth forest \nAn immersive introduction to two-eyed seeing (Etuaptmumk)  \nNature crafts and kids’ activities  \nHands-on wildlife education \nBasket making demonstration \nA guided reflection exercise \n\n  \nFor most of our events and activities\, you can drop in and participate but some will require advanced registration. Details and sign-up forms will be released closer to the event. You can stay up to date with all the developments for our March Break Day by following our event on Facebook (@mtri) or signing up here: https://forms.office.com/r/tdXiWZqihG  \n  \nLearn more about Asitu’lsk: https://www.asitulsk.com/
