Indigenous Elders' Conceptualization of Wellbeing: An Anishinaabe Worldview Perspective
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Language and cultural revitalization are vital in developing the self-healing capacity of Indigenous Peoples. This study emphasized the perspective of 1st language speaking Elders, our knowledge keepers and community leaders, to critically examine what it means to be well for one Indigenous Nation in the Midwest. Semi-structured interviews with Elders were administered in the Anishinaabe language by fluent second language speakers. The interviews were transcribed in Anishinaabe and translated into English with the guidance of the Elders. The Anishinaabe and English transcripts were used simultaneously in analysis. The conceptualization of wellbeing for these Elders was a complex and interrelated system grounded in spiritual connectedness and guided by Anishinaabe language and ways of life. The results broaden the perspectives available on Indigenous wellbeing and are important to consider as we study culture as healing and implement cultural-based health programs within Indigenous communities.

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.
