Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This work explores the importance of including, in the curriculum, Indigenous teachings regarding making, creating, healing and mystery. Found in the teachings of many Indigenous peoples, mystery, or (not) knowing, is vital to coming to know how to be human in a good way and so it must be centred and honoured in our walk through this world. Drawing on what I have learned from my many life teachers, I humbly offer the suggestion that mystery is vital in our route to the healing of ourselves and our world. In this work of Indigenous métissage, offering up my own experiences, I narrate how, through making and creating practices such as beading, drumming, weaving, poetry and life writing, I, and the youth with whom I teach and learn, have been invited into spaces of (not) knowing, where we have been made available to joy and healing. In this essay, I bring forward poems, stories from my teaching and making life, and images of my beading and painting, as an offering of one path of surrendering to mystery in the search for mino bimaadiziwin—living in a good way for the good of All My Relations.

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.
