Indigenous youth involvement in land-based food systems in Fort Providence, Northwest Territories
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Northern Indigenous communities in Canada face complex barriers rooted in ongoing colonial impositions to access the land and land-based food systems. They also continue to implement a variety of strategies to address these challenges and build more sustainable food systems. Youth are imperative to these processes because of their unique roles in the transmission of knowledge and culture. Our research examines the challenges to and opportunities for youth engagement in land-based food programming in the Dene and Métis community of Fort Providence, Northwest Territories, Canada. We also explore how participants viewed youth as important in land-based food systems and how their experiences support cultural continuities, self-determination, and adaptive capacity to socio-economic and environmental changes. Our work is informed by Indigenous methodologies and based on semi-structured interviews with Dene and Métis youth, community members, leaders, and non-Indigenous residents involved in local food initiatives. Our results demonstrate how youth participation in land-based food programming can respond to pressing colonial-imposed changes and foster food systems strategies in their communities and broader society.

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.
