Abstract
ABSTRACT: This essay analyzes how From the Roots Up , volume 2 of Inninew/Trinidadian writer Tasha Spillett and Métis illustrator Natasha Donovan’s graphic novel Surviving the City , furthers their exploration of the meaning of Indigenous youth health and well-being by addressing the needs and challenges of Two-Spirit people. In From the Roots Up , Spillett and Donovan depict not only the protagonist’s acknowledgement of their Two-Spirit identity, but also the range of responses Dez encounters as they come to know and claim their gender and desire in the environment of an urban Canadian secondary school. Health, then, applies to much more than physical well-being, as Spillett and Donovan craft the teens’ experiences to consider issues of psychological and community wellness. In the process, From the Roots Up functions as a pedagogical project that teaches both young and adult readers healthy ways to engage with the intersections of queerness and Indigeneity. On the one hand, Spillett and Donovan explicitly teach Two-Spirit histories and illustrate productive approaches to queer Indigenous presents/presence, while, on the other, they directly critique the ways in which conservative understandings of “tradition” can be used as antiqueer hegemonic tools within Indigenous communities and so-called safe spaces.

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.
