What’s the plan? Broadening the MMIWG2 conversation in North America
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit are at high risk of victimisation in North America. Although this experience exists across geopolitical boundaries, Canada and the United States have very different responses to this reality. This article identifies the varying efforts by each country to address missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2). It reveals that, while both still have much work to do, the United States is far behind Canada in investigating the situation. The article concludes with two suggestions: first, academics should work with other relevant parties to better understand the MMIWG2 situation in the United States and, second, that both countries would be strengthened from an exchange in information and collaboration. MMIWG2 are not confined by national borders and neither should be academic efforts and solutions.

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.
