Mixed-blood: Indigenous-Black identity in colonial Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In thinking through Indigenous-Blackness in colonial Canada, we explored the ramifications of the intersections of mixed-blood Indigenous-Black identity with colonialism, racism, gender, and social determinants of health, and how the outcomes of such intersections manifest as erasure, racism, and fractured identity. This critical research is nested within the larger Proclaiming Our Roots project, which uses an arts-based community-based methodology to respect and represent local and global Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies, and utilizes digital oral storytelling, community mapping, and semi-structured interviews as research methods. Community members gathered in workshops held in Toronto and Halifax/Dartmouth, Canada, as these are sites where Indigenous and Black communities came together in the face of white colonial oppression. Community members and researchers told their stories and reshaped their geographies as acts of resistance. This work brings to the forefront Indigenous-Black identity, and how Indigenous-Black people manoeuvre within Western settler society.

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.
