El reconocimiento de los derechos de la Naturaleza en Canadá: el caso del río Magpie /Mutehekau Shipu
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In February 2021, the Magpie River, also known as Mutehekau Shipu in the Innu language, was legally recognised as a living entity with rights by the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit and the Regional County of Minganie in Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. This river plays an integral role in the Innu Indigenous community, and its recognition as a legal person affirms the long-standing biocultural rights that exist between the river and the original people. For the first time in Canada, the introduction of the rights of Nature affirms the importance of Innu cosmology in the Canadian legal context. This paper first explores the path taken to recognise the legal personality and rights of the Magpie River, including the potential effects of this designation. Second, it assesses the dynamics of the legal orders at play and demonstrates how recognition challenges anthropocentric colonial paradigms. Third, we analyse how Canada's legal structure enables a dynamic approach between different legal orders that can give life to new models of nature preservation for generations to come.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
