Anicinabe Aki—Invisible No More: Indigenous Urban History in the Abitibi Region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article explores the Indigenous historiography of the town of Senneterre and the Abitibi region in Quebec. As the centre of ancestral and contemporary social and spatial organization of three Indigenous nations—Anicinabe, Iiyiuu/Iinuu (Cree), and Atikamekw Nehirowisiw—the specificity of Senneterre allows for a more nuanced analysis that centres Indigenous epistemological traditions of kinship, responsibility, and care. We thus focus on the ways in which the Senneterre Native Friendship Centre (and, more broadly, the national and provincial friendship centre movement), through a politics of care, has consistently delinked from settler-colonial tenets to build and embody a vision of making home and weave a sense of belonging for the Indigenous families that have been excluded from the town’s imaginary. The authors show how the Friendship Centre and its members have contributed to the reexamination of analytical and conceptual underpinnings of Indigenous urbanization, from a process of acculturation, cultural and territorial dispossession, and assimilation to that of strengthening contemporary Indigenous identities and the flourishing of a civic society in a place where urban space cannot be disassociated from a complex and overlapping Indigenous sovereign presence.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
