Abstract
Indigenous journeys are powerful exercises of law and governance. Presently, these journeys have also become a popular means for revitalizing culture and contesting continued colonialism. The Journey of Nishiyuu was a mass social movement in which a group of Uschiniichisuu, Cree youth, travelled a collective 1600 km by foot from their homes in Whapmagoostui, Québec to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario in order to address a variety of social and environmental issues confronting Indigenous Peoples in Canada during the winter of Idle No More (2012/2013). Drawing on conversational interviews conducted with several walkers, their Elders, and community members who volunteered for the Journey of Nishiyuu, I argue that throughout the Journey the Nishiyuu youth walked the law, by which I mean they inherited their authority to govern and exercised their governance by way of walking the land. While making this argument I consider how spiritual imaginations shape legal landscapes and emphasize the itinerant nature and prevailing persistence of Indigenous legal orders.

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
