Restoring Relationships: Indigenous Ways of Knowing Meet Undergraduate Environmental Studies and Science.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A Note on TerminologySince this dissertation addresses the interaction between different knowledges, cultures and peoples, I have adopted several conventions for terminology, although in practice, categories overlap, boundaries shift and change, and people move themselves (or are moved) in and out.Where possible, I have referred to Indigenous people by the name they use for themselves (such as Potawatomi, Haudenosaunee, Mi'kmaq), giving this affiliation in parentheses after their name.Each people has a different history and different values, traditions, ceremonies, and language, though some experiences and values exist in common.This study honors individual tribal differences as much as possible, while at the same time addressing an educational issue common to people of many different tribal affiliations.When referring to several peoples at once, I generally use "Native American" or "American Indian" for a U.S. context, "First Nations" or "Aboriginal" for a Canadian context, and "Indigenous" for a broader U.S./Canadian or international context.Even so, this array of terms leaves out names associated with important North American Indigenous peoples-Alaska Natives, Mtis, Native Hawaiians, and others.I make my apologies here.I have used the descriptor "mainstream" or "Western" to refer to knowledge conventionally present in American and Canadian higher education courses and programs.Since environment-related education encompasses not only science, but also the humanities, social sciences, and arts, I focused on both environmental studies and science.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
