An indigenous community-led project in Nunavik: a story of self-determination and resistance amidst the ongoing presence of coloniality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the struggle for self-determination, Indigenous communities in Canada have been developing community-based health and social services to support family and community wellbeing. In the development of these initiatives, non-Indigenous actors, are sometimes involved. These relationships cannot be dissociated from coloniality and colonial history, yet the specific influences of external support on the development of Indigenous-led community-based projects are not well understood. Research in international development highlights the need for deeper understandings of these dynamics to strengthen self-determination. Working with a decolonial and relational approach, this organizational ethnography uses storytelling with key members of the Ilagiinut project to articulate the changing relationships between Inuit and non-Inuit partners in an Inuit-led community Family House organization in Nunavik. The study illustrates the ways in which coloniality can interfere with the development of an organization and how resistance offers possibilities to uphold Inuit ways of knowing, of doing and of leading in this field.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
