Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada has legislated its commitment to implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). This legislation requires Canada to reform its laws to be consistent with UNDRIP and to recognize Indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination. Little has been written on Indigenous peoples role in federal emergencies. Canada’s Emergencies Act and Emergency Management Act do not mention Indigenous peoples. As such there is no requirement for Canada to engage with, or report to, Indigenous peoples at times of emergencies in spite of the often devastating impacts on their people, territories, resources and infrastructure. This paper explores the ways that Canada can recognize First Nation jurisdiction and work with Indigenous peoples at times of emergencies. Experiences with forest fires, floods and invasion of the military provide lessons for how to reform Canada’s emergency laws. These reforms must be enacted through engagement with First Nations and with particular attention to capacity building, protocols and agreements for coordination and support. Canada’s emergency laws have an important role to play in implementing UNDRIP and the rights and title of First Nations in Canada. With so many natural disasters being caused by climate change, it is critical that First Nations play a strong role in Emergencies in their own territories.

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.
