Words that Come Before All Else: An Embodied Decolonizing Praxis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: In this article, we consider the communal practice of reading the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address: Ohen:ton Karihwatehkwen as an entry point into anti-racism work in nursing education. We describe how this practice, inspired by Kimmerer’s (2013) Braiding sweetgrass: Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge and the teaching of plants, creates brave and generative spaces for students and educators to engage in difficult conversations about settler colonial violence and its ongoing impacts on Indigenous Peoples. We consider a broad theoretical overview of the history and practice of the Thanksgiving Address and how as a decolonizing practice, it works to counter the colonial logics that often dominate western academic institutions. The intentional and embodied practice teaches us about our kinship responsibilities, moves us toward a renewed relationship with the human and more-than-human world, cultivates gratitude, reciprocity, and a sense of belonging, and prepares us to engage in anti-racism work.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
