Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

[para. 1]: "The most radical thing that a person can do in Canada is to be born Indigenous. Being born into any of the Mi’kmaw, Wolastoqiyik, Anishinabek or other Indigenous Nations means that we are born into Nations struggling to heal from the devastating intergenerational effects of Canada’s long history of genocidal policies against Indigenous peoples. Multiple generations suffered through scalping laws, forced sterilisations, confinement to reserves, starvation and the rapes, tortures and murders of children which occurred in residential schools. Being born Indigenous means that we are born into an ongoing battle to both resist the state’s ongoing assimilatory drive and survive its institutionalised racism. Modern colonisation, like historical colonisation, includes the ongoing state and corporate theft and destruction of Indigenous lands, waters and resources, as well as the violent intervention of state police and military, on behalf of powerful corporate interests, to quell both Indigenous resistance and ultimately Indigenous survival (Palmater 2017a). One of the primary ways that the Canadian state has used to control the resistance of Indigenous peoples was to criminalise every aspect of our identity, culture and subsistence, locking us into generations of abject poverty. By criminalising our efforts to survive, Canada has educated its settler populations to see Indigenous peoples as domestic terrorists. In so doing, it has created a portrait of our quest for justice and peace as one of radical politics carried out by ‘rogue’ Indians that are inherent ‘threats to national security’ (Barrera 2014a)."

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
