Bringing the ‘other half’ back: a place-specific intergenerational exploration of Indigenous physical cultural masculinities in Fisher River Cree Nation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce readers to the Indigenous Wellbeing of Boys and Men project, a 4-year research collaboration between scholars from the Universities of Manitoba and British Columbia and Fisher River Cree Nation (Ochékwi Sipi). We overview the research design of the project, paying particular attention to the foundational strategies that informed the research process. These strategies included, embedding the project within an Indigenous paradigm, rooting it within the place-specific context of Fisher River Cree Nation, and creating a community-wide and intergenerational dialogue about Indigenous physical cultures and masculinities. We then examine the first phase of the project, which involved sharing circles, to illustrate how these strategies informed the research process. We argue that this design enabled critical insights on the role that physical culture can potentially play in maintaining and revitalising place-specific Indigenous masculinities. This paper brings the burgeoning scholarship in Indigenous methodologies and Indigenous masculinities into conversation with the work in physical cultural studies and, in so doing, makes important contributions to each disciplinary area.

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.
