The Practice of Etuaptmumk: Two-Eyed Seeing
We used to call the older cultures “primitive.” The IPCC and UNESCO are quietly catching up to what those cultures have always known. About time.
Jun 03, 2026 (wisdomschool.com)
A long time ago a Dutch-born psychologist named Robert Wolff sent me the manuscript of a book he’d been writing for years called Original Wisdom, and asked if I’d write the foreword. I sat with it for several days. I couldn’t put it down.
Wolff had spent decades among the Sng’oi, an indigenous people who live in the deep mountainous rainforest of Malaysia, learning a way of knowing that he had no Western training for and that, he came to believe, Western science had no real vocabulary to describe.
He wrote about Sng’oi who could find each other in dense jungle without speaking, who knew a thunderstorm was coming hours before there was any visible sign, who moved through their forest without leaving a trace, and who made decisions by sitting together in silence until something rose up in the group and was simply known.
The Sng’oi, Wolff insisted, weren’t primitive, weren’t premodern, weren’t on some earlier rung of a ladder we were finally climbing past. They were running on a completely different operating system than the one we run on, refined over thousands of years, that produced, among many other things, an entirely sustainable relationship with the land they lived on.
I wrote the foreword gladly. The book has stayed in print ever since, and I find I keep coming back to it.
I came back to it again this week, after I read a major essay in UNESCO Courier reporting that indigenous knowledge systems are finally being formally integrated into the world’s climate-response toolkit. The piece walks through example after example.
Aboriginal Australians have practiced cool burning, the controlled use of low-intensity fires, for tens of thousands of years to keep their lands safe from the catastrophic megafires we now know to expect when forests are left to accumulate fuel.
The U.S. and Australian governments banned indigenous cultural burning across most of their territories for over a century. The result, in California, Oregon, the Mountain West, and large portions of Australia, has been a fire regime that none of us alive today have ever seen before, because none of us alive today have ever seen the land managed correctly.
Inuit elders document weather and ice patterns with a precision that Western meteorological models still cannot match in the high Arctic. Farmers in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Kenya, and Senegal use techniques like zaï, small water-capture pits, combined with intercropping and indigenous plant varieties, to keep degraded soils productive without synthetic inputs. A 2025 paper in Scientific Reports found that ninety-two percent of South African farmers in one large region rely on traditional plant-based methods to manage pests and diseases.
And this isn’t a fringe finding any more. According to the United Nations, indigenous peoples make up less than five percent of the global population yet steward lands containing roughly eighty percent of Earth’s remaining biodiversity. Forests under indigenous management sequester more carbon, retain more biodiversity, and resist degradation better than forests under almost any other tenure arrangement.
The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report formally elevated Traditional Ecological Knowledge from “interesting cultural heritage” to “primary tool for climate adaptation.” That’s the kind of sentence I never honestly thought I’d write in my lifetime.
The deeper move, though, is conceptual. There is a Mi’kmaw word, Etuaptmumk, usually translated into English as “Two-Eyed Seeing”, that the late Mi’kmaw Elder Murdena Marshall and her husband, Elder Albert Marshall, of Eskasoni First Nation in Cape Breton, brought into the academic world in 2004.
The principle is simple. You look at every problem with one eye seeing what indigenous knowledge has to teach, and the other eye seeing what Western science has to teach, and you use the strengths of both rather than pretending one of them is sufficient on its own.
Etuaptmumk literally means the gift of multiple perspectives. It’s now spreading through Canadian medicine, marine biology, fisheries management, climate research, and education. Whole research grants are being awarded under its banner. Government departments are using it as a framework. The reason it’s spreading is that it works. The combination of methods, when honestly attempted, produces better answers than either method alone.
This is the argument I made decades ago in Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight. The civilization we built over the last few hundred years operated on a fundamental error. We assumed we knew more than the older cultures did, and that progress meant leaving their methods behind.
We took that assumption and built a global civilization on it. The civilization we built has destabilized the climate, collapsed roughly three-quarters of the planet’s wild biomass, and put more than a million species at serious risk of extinction in our own lifetimes. The cultures we condescended to, by contrast, kept the lands they stewarded in some kind of working balance for tens of thousands of years.
What does any of this mean for those of us who aren’t indigenous? Two things, I think. First, give back what was taken, or at least defend it where it still exists. Indigenous land sovereignty isn’t a sentimental gesture. It’s a measurable, quantifiable climate strategy.
Land returned to (or kept under) indigenous stewardship reliably outperforms land managed by states or corporations on almost every ecological metric we know how to measure. Defending that sovereignty is, in plain English, a more cost-effective form of climate adaptation than most of the policies our governments are spending hundreds of billions on.
Second, learn how to look with both eyes. Whatever community you’re in, whatever land you live on, there is almost certainly an indigenous lineage that knew that land before your great-grandparents arrived. In many places the knowledge-keepers are still there, still teaching, still willing to share if asked respectfully and on their terms.
The practice of Etuaptmumk, of holding both ways of knowing without forcing one to submit to the other, is something any one of us can take up tomorrow morning. You don’t have to be indigenous to use the gift. You just have to stop assuming your one eye sees the whole picture.
I came back to Robert Wolff’s book this week because the UNESCO Courier essay reminded me of something he wrote near the end of it, almost in passing: that the Sng’oi didn’t talk about wisdom the way we do. They didn’t think it was rare or special or something you had to earn. They thought everybody had it. They thought we’d just forgotten.
The cultures we used to call primitive were never primitive. They were running an operating system that worked, while we were busy crashing ours. The very good news in 2026 is that some of those systems are still here. They’re being formally recognized by the IPCC, integrated into national parks and marine reserves, and finally listened to in the rooms where decisions get made. That’s not just an environmental story. It’s a homecoming.
If there’s an indigenous community on the land where you live (and there almost certainly is, even if the federal government hasn’t officially recognized them), look up their council, their cultural center, their language program, their hunting and fishing rights, and find a way to support them.
If there’s a tribally-led conservation effort in your region, donate or volunteer. If there’s a Two-Eyed Seeing project in your neighborhood, and there are more of these every year, show up.
And if you’ve never read Wolff’s Original Wisdom, or Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, or any of the great indigenous-voice writers like Robin Wall Kimmerer (Braiding Sweetgrass), Vine Deloria Jr (God Is Red), or Tyson Yunkaporta (Sand Talk), do yourself the favor. The future of the planet and the deepest parts of the past turn out to be the same conversation.

Bernie Sanders Announces Plan to Seize Half of AI Industry for the Public Good
“Who will own and control that future? Who will benefit from it, and who will be hurt by it?”
Published Jun 2, 2026 (Futurism.com)
The hype surrounding generative AI has generated astronomical amounts of value, with tech companies raising tens of billions of dollars and many — including OpenAI and Anthropic — preparing to go public this year at sky-high valuations, in moves that will produce incredible wealth for their stockholders.
Whether the average Joe will ever directly benefit from all of this is looking dubious at best. That’s despite many of these tools relying on AI models that were trained on the creative output of millions of people, copyright be damned, the vast majority of whom have yet to see a single cent. Quite the contrary — many workers are facing a disastrous job market as a result of corporations stretching themselves thin through massive investments in AI.
Meanwhile, concerns continue to grow that the billionaire class is unethically enriching itself through the scheme, while shutting out the democratic process.
To independent senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT), that kind of injustice needs to end. In an essay published by the New York Times, Sanders argued for the creation of an “AI Sovereign Wealth Fund” that would be created through a “one-time 50 percent tax” on the stock of AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, to “give the public a direct ownership stake.”
In other words, Sanders is proposing to transfer half of the AI companies’ stock into a public fund — a one-time transfer as opposed to a tax on profits — which the government will manage. Generated revenues could be distributed as “direct payments to the American people.”
While many important details have yet to be ironed out, as Sanders admits, it would represent a massive shift and equity transfer — if his act were to pass, that is.
“The question, then, is not whether AI will change the world,” he wrote. “It will. The question is: Who will own and control that future? Who will benefit from it, and who will be hurt by it?”
Sanders argues such a fund would “give the public a direct role in determining the future of this technology,” while also guaranteeing that the “trillions of dollars potentially generated by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — not simply to make the richest people in the world even richer.”
While chances of the senator’s idea surviving the Congressional approval process are likely slim — the AI industry holds immense influence over Congress — it’s a creative approach to an increasingly sticky problem. Even tech leaders, who have watched as the backlash to AI continues to grow, have turned their attention to possible solutions to address even greater wealth disparity caused by the emergence of AI.
Jeff Bezos recently argued that the bottom 50 percent of earners shouldn’t pay any taxes, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman came up with a new concept called “universal basic compute,” which would provide free access to those who can’t afford costly AI tools. Meanwhile, SpaceX founder Elon Musk has called for a new take on universal basic income, uninspiringly dubbed “universal high income.”
Sanders’ sovereign wealth fund takes the idea a step further, giving Americans who don’t happen to be tech billionaires an opportunity to get in on the ground floor. The concept has already been “put into practice right here at home,” Sanders wrote, pointing to an Alaskan sovereign wealth fund that’s allowed residents to receive annual dividends through oil revenues.
“To start, the billions, if not trillions, of dollars generated by this fund would provide direct payments to the American people,” he wrote. “And as the fund generates more and more wealth, the proceeds would be used to ensure that every man, woman and child in our country has a decent and dignified standard of living, including health care, education and housing.”

Astrology Of June 2026 – Chiron In Taurus, Jupiter In Leo
(Astrobutterfly.com)
June 2026 features 2 dramatic ingresses: Chiron completes its 8-year journey through Aries and enters Taurus, and Jupiter makes its annual ingress, entering Leo.
These are very important transits that will completely shift our priorities and overall direction. Things are shifting at a fundamental level.
Another highlight of the month is the much-anticipated Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer on June 9th. This is a beautiful emotional culmination before Venus and Jupiter shift into Leo in the 2nd part of June.
Mercury goes retrograde at the end of the month at the exact degree of the Venus-Jupiter conjunction. There’s more to the story!
But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
June 9th, 2026 – Venus Conjunct Jupiter
June 9th, 2026, Venus is conjunct Jupiter at 25° Cancer.
Everyone is getting excited about this conjunction, and for good reasons. Venus and Jupiter are the 2 ‘benefics’ and their conjunctions are classically considered the luckiest and most joyful.
What makes this special is the sign it occurs. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, so this conjunction is even more potent – even more flooded with abundance and emotional truth.
This is a time to rewrite our relationship to what matters – to be guided not only by what we believe is right, but also by what feels true. This distinction might sound like empty words, but let’s sit with it a bit.
We can become convinced we know what’s good for us when, in reality, much of our worldview is built on assumptions, expectations, and stories we inherited from family, culture, or the world around us. We adopt them so early that they start to feel like our own.
Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer invites us to reconnect with a more personal source of knowing.
Like a river instinctively finding its way to the sea, there is a part of us that already knows what matters. The task is not to figure it out, but to trust it – and then align our life with it.
June 15th, 2026 – New Moon In Gemini
On June 15th, 2026, we have a New Moon at 24° Gemini. Apart from a loose square to Neptune, this lunation is pretty much unaspected.
This is also the first New Moon in Gemini with Uranus in the sign. Once the realization dawns that things may not be the way we thought they were, a space opens up.
Because this New Moon is largely unaspected, there is no strong planetary storyline filling that space or telling us what to do with it.
This blank, unwritten space can feel disorienting, but there’s something about the ‘not knowing’ that paradoxically triggers the ‘deeper knowing’ inside of us – beyond society narratives and ‘that’s just how things are’ assumptions.
The New Moon in Gemini invites us to consciously seed that space with a genuinely new possibility.
June 19th, 2026 – Chiron Enters Taurus
On June 19th, 2026, Chiron enters Taurus. Chiron changing signs is one of the most important astrological events of the year.
Chiron has spent 8 years in Aries, digging into and healing the rawest themes of identity and self-expression. The process that began in 2018 has not been easy, but it has been necessary. Our relationship to ourselves will never go back to the way it was before.
The same process now begins with Chiron in Taurus. Taurus (together with Aries) are the 2 signs where Chiron – with its otherwise very eccentric orbit – spends the most time.
There is something about the relationship between identity – the abstract “who am I” (Aries) – and the embodiment of that identity (Taurus) that Chiron has to work on with its sharpest skills.
This is not a wound that heals overnight. It will take 8 years. But at the end of it, the core Taurus themes – like feeling safe in this world, feeling that we matter, manifesting, giving and receiving – will have received the healing they so deeply need.
We tend to see the Taurus types of dysfunction as an unhealthy relationship with our body or money – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg, what shows on the surface when something has been long unrooted.
But it goes much deeper than that. The good news is that if there’s a planetary archetype that has the tools, the patience and the empathetic understanding to guide this healing, that is Chiron.
Whether you were born with Chiron in Taurus (and you’ll have your Chiron return), have planets in Taurus, or simply an area of your life ruled by Taurus – and we all do, that’s our Taurus house – Chiron in Taurus will open a new chapter of healing and integration.
June 21st, 2026 – Sun Enters Cancer
Happy Solstice and happy b-day, Cancers! On June 21st, 2026, the Sun enters Cancer.
Solstices and equinoxes are the 4 turning points of the year, when the balance between light and darkness changes direction. We call them seasons, but they are really transitions into a different psychological and energetic atmosphere.
Each turning point introduces the qualities of one of the 4 elements. The Libra equinox brings air. The Capricorn solstice, earth. The Aries equinox, fire.
With Cancer, we enter the season of water – a season of intuition, feelings, belonging, and leaning into what feels right.
June 28th, 2026 – Mars Enters Gemini
On June 28th, 2026, Mars enters Gemini and that’s going to be an immediate change in pace!
After grazing, ruminating and gathering the resources needed in Taurus, Mars is leaving the familiar ground to step into the Territory, Gemini’s field of information, exchange, and discovery.
Uranus, for the first time in Gemini since almost 8 decades, will awaken Mars to something that it has never experienced before.
In Gemini, Mars will discover new ways of working with information, data, thoughts, and ideas – operating less on autopilot and with more awareness of what is actually happening.
June 29th, 2026 – Full Moon In Capricorn
On June 29th (or June 30th), we have a Full Moon at 8° Capricorn.
The Full Moon is separating from a square to Neptune and applying to square Saturn in Aries. Now that a dream or a possibility has been awakened, the Capricorn question becomes: how do we make it real?
The answer may not be obvious, and the road ahead may not be easy. Yet Capricorn is less interested in obstacles and more in solutions. This is a Full Moon to stress-test what matters, separate wishful thinking from commitment, and take responsibility for the next step.
A detailed Full Moon report will follow closer to the date.
June 30th, 2026 – Mercury Goes Retrograde
On June 30th, 2026, Mercury goes retrograde at 26° Cancer, for a 3-week journey into our emotional memory.
Why do we react the way we do? Why do certain situations affect us more than others? Mercury retrograde in Cancer traces our feelings back to their source, helping us understand the emotional logic underneath our choices and actions.
Mercury turns retrograde at the degree of the Venus-Jupiter conjunction earlier this month.
Whatever that conjunction has awakened or promised, Mercury retrograde in Cancer will initiate the necessary emotional processing to bring it fully into consciousness.
Mercury goes direct on July 24th at 16° Cancer. If you have planets or angles between 16°-26° Cancer, you will be especially influenced by this retrograde.
June 30th, 2026 – Jupiter Enters Leo
On June 30th, 2026, Jupiter leaves Cancer and enters Leo.
Jupiter spends approx 1 year in a sign, so when it changes signs, there’s an immediate change in the atmosphere. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, so these shifts are always noticeable.
At a collective level, the atmosphere shifts from Cancer – emotional, protective, inward – to Leo: bold, brave, straightforward.
At a personal level, Jupiter moves away from one sector of your life and begins expanding another. At the time of the ingress, pay attention to what comes up for you – especially how your interests shift, how you become drawn to a certain topic, or a particular area of your life comes into focus.
During its 1-year stay in Leo, Jupiter will form supportive aspects with Neptune and Saturn in Aries – however, the very first aspect it makes will be a square to Chiron (at 0° Taurus).
So the first encounter with the bold, confidence-driven energy of Leo will also – paradoxically – trigger deeper, forgotten wounds around security and trusting our instincts.
A detailed report of the Jupiter-Chiron square will follow closer to the date.
June Astrology Forecast 2026
The Astrology Podcast Jun 2, 2026 Monthly Astrology Forecasts A deep dive into the astrology forecast for June 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology behind news and events that happened since our last forecast, and then in the second hour we get into the astrology of June. The month opens with one of the most auspicious planetary alignments of the year: a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer that remains active for the first two weeks. Venus-Jupiter conjunctions are excellent for relationships, marriages, and partnerships, as well as peacekeeping efforts and the confirmation of good things. In the middle of the month, there is a distinct tone shift when Venus enters Leo and begins opposing Pluto. This aspect can bring up issues related to power, manipulation, and control within the context of partnerships and relationships. At the same time, Mercury enters its shadow period, slowing down and preparing to station retrograde, while Mars moves within a 10-degree orb of a volatile conjunction with Uranus. The latter part of the month takes an unexpected and explosive turn, especially once Mars officially enters Gemini and the conjunction with Uranus tightens. On the final day of the month, Jupiter enters Leo, beginning a one-year transit through that sign. However, this transit starts with an opposition to Pluto that will culminate in July, highlighting themes involving the manipulation of truth and attempts to control knowledge. Simultaneously, Mercury stations retrograde just before it can reach a conjunction with Jupiter, effectively revoking and delaying a beneficent alignment just as the much more malefic Mars-Uranus configuration is forming. This is episode 538 of The Astrology Podcast.
