Wicubami: Honoring Alexis Nakota Sioux Ish?awimin through Kinship, Language, Spirit, and Research
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The polite exchange of kinship terms of address is the outward and "visible" sign of mutual understanding, and acceptance of one' s obligation to the other.As such it is the indispensable preliminary for a successful association.At the same time it seems to bespeak wordlessly the other' s goodwill.And in that sense it is a prayer. -Ella Cara Deloria, The Dakota Way of LifeLia Ruttan is an independent scholar and sessional instructor.She works primarily with Aboriginal peoples in central Alberta and the Northwest Territories (Nakota, Cree, Dene, Métis), in projects that use a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach.Sherry Letendre (Alexis Nakota Sioux) is coordinator for the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation (ANSN) Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Network Collaborative Project and previously has served the ANSN in several departments, including Education and Heritage.Her aim through her work is to support her mother' s prayers for the community.Elizabeth Letendre (Alexis Nakota Sioux), is an ANSN band councillor, former director of Education and the current director of the Administration, Heritage & Recreation Department.In all that she carries out, her ongoing focus is on fulfilling her parents' vision for the community, especially for the children at the school.As the project coordinator for the Alexis Nakota Heritage Program during the years of the Nimi Ichinohabi Program, Tanja Schramm-Trethowan worked on program delivery and research.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
