This study entailed a physical and philosophical journey that explored the relationship between Western and Indigenous knowledge and philosophies of Nature. Guided by the overarching question, "Is it possible to blend Western and Indigenous knowledge and philosophies of Nature?" the author developed the concept of ecological metissage and explored other eco-pedagogical philosophies and practices that seek to articulate and embody the "Third Space" (Richardson, 2004) between Western and Indigenous philosophies and practices. Other major themes explored included Metis culture and identity and Canadian cultural and ecological identity.

520 $a This study entailed a physical and philosophical journey that explored the relationship between Western and Indigenous knowledge and philosophies of Nature. Guided by the overarching question, "Is it possible to blend Western and Indigenous knowledge and philosophies of Nature?" the author developed the concept of ecological metissage and explored other eco-pedagogical philosophies and practices that seek to articulate and embody the "Third Space" (Richardson, 2004) between Western and Indigenous philosophies and practices. Other major themes explored included Metis culture and identity and Canadian cultural and ecological identity.
520 $a Over a period of six months in late 2010 and early 2011, the author travelled across Canada employing a methodological metissage comprising a blend of interpretive and Indigenous narrative research approaches to explore the life histories, cultural and ecological identities and philosophies, and professional experiences of ten intercultural environmental educators. This journey produced profound dialogues and meta-dialogues between the researcher, the participants, and the literature.
520 $a Participants' narratives were kept intact and initially presented as short biographies to respect the integrity of their stories (Kovach, 2010) before the author provided his interpretations. Notable findings included the clarification of the relationship between Western and Indigenous knowledge and philosophies of Nature as one with the potential for bricolage (integration) but not absolute metissage (blending) unless Western perspectives other than science, such as deep ecology and bioregionalism, are also considered. Implications for practice were also presented.
