Pilgrimage as Peoplehood: Indigenous Relations and Self-Determination at Places of Catholic Pilgrimage in Mi'kma'ki and the Métis Homeland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
31Movement across traditional territory to sacred places has always been central to Indigenous thought, action, and governance. And these places are co-constituted by relations with the Land and Waters, with kin, and with other collective peoples, human and more-than-human. This article examines Indigenous experiences of religion and mobility with regard to places of Catholic pilgrimage in Mi’kma’ki territory and the Métis Homeland. We problematize White possessiveness and the settler colonial project by showing how ideas of religion and sedentism serve as a racializing force in governing Indigenous territories and bodies. We focus instead on Indigenous experiences and understandings of religion and mobility as relational, where (1) movement is about experiencing different relations within storied spaces and places that help familiarize and constitute traditional territory and homelands, and (2) place/places allow for nationhood and peoplehood relations to flourish. This article affirms the self-determination of Indigenous pilgrimage as engendering peoplehood relations.

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.
