Abstract
Land has played an integral role in Indigenous education since time immemorial. In Indigenous ways of knowing and being in the world, land is the basis of all life and therefore the foundation for all cultural and traditional teachings. Learning takes place in cooperation with the rhythms of everyday life, including land‐based activities such as hunting and gathering. This form of education is in contrast with western systems that continue to perpetuate colonialism through the erasure of Indigenous lives, cultures, and knowledge. The authors of this paper explore the meaning of land‐based learning, wise practices for its facilitation, and the barriers impeding the widespread practice of land‐based learning. The findings of this review have important implications for the revitalization and perpetuation of Indigenous knowledge, in an Indigenous way, among future generations. Land‐based learning, in its authentic form, is a powerful tool in the continuing process of decolonization. In being on the land, Indigenous and non‐Indigenous peoples are able to come together and draw strength from their ancestors, relationships, and histories in order to heal and transcend the trauma caused by past and present colonial processes.

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 it
