Albert Marshall Sr., a Mi'kmaw elder from Eskasoni, is best known for his concept of two-eyed seeing or etuaptmumk, which blends Indigenous and Western knowledge to help people navigate life. Marshall recently shared some of his teachings with Mi'kmaw high school students who are getting ready for university and CBC's Sis'moqon was there.

The men say they were forced to walk in sock feet for hours in the middle of the night after their boots and phones were taken by officials. Jim Michael, a Mi'kmaw lawyer, joins host Jeff Douglas to weigh in on the situation.
