Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this chapter the author, a Red River Métis legal scholar and academic administrator, shares reflections on her experiences growing into her role as a mentor to the next generation of Indigenous thought leaders. While speaking from a place of hopeful possibilities for transformational, loving leadership and whole-learner support, the author also discusses barriers facing Indigenous mentors, including disproportionate “academic housekeeping” burdens, precarity in employment, and systemic racism and discrimination. After sharing lessons hard-learned during her years as a young scholar, she discusses what sustainable Academic Auntie-ing could look like, before closing on a hopeful note.

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.
