Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Strong connections to land, culture, and community are associated with increased well-being for Indigenous Peoples, yet colonial policies have disrupted such connections. Métis young adults often face unique challenges in connecting to their culture, with little research addressing such issues. This study explores how Métis young adults (aged 18–29) navigate (re)connecting to culture, and its implications for well-being. Three themes emerged: (1) In the Dark: Navigating the Shadows of Identity, (2) Reconnecting Through Kinship, and (3) Reclamation of Knowledge. Findings highlight the multifaceted ways Métis young adults navigate reconnecting and provide recommendations on supporting individuals on this journey.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
