Weaves of Wellness: Exploring the Experiences of Wellness and Imbalance in Indigenous Youth
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research, which takes place on Treaty 6 lands and involves an Indigenous and decolonized worldview, stems from a personal and professional exploration of what it means for me to be Indigenous. Using a Metissage research sensibility (Hasebe-ludt, Chambers, & leggo, 2009), the research weaves my own experiences in relation to the research participants, and in relation to the land, and other living and non-living beings. The purpose of this study is to better understand the emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental experiences of wellness and imbalance in Indigenous youth in public high schools, and to foster an understanding of the Medicine Wheel. This research ultimately asks, how do the experiences of youth fit within the Medicine Wheel? Participants will share their experiences of wellness and imbalance through storying, sharing circles, art, with the researcher using reflective journaling to reflect on the experience of listening. These stories will be audio or visually recorded. Participants will then place their experiences onto the Medicine Wheel into one or more of the four areas. Given that education and health systems are colonial tools oppression (Stewart, Moodley, and Hyatt, 2017), this research hopes to provide school staff, teachers, therapists, counsellors, health professionals and others with ways to meet the needs of Indigenous youth, in consideration of the Medicine Wheel and the Metissage conceptual trope.

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.
