Nurturing Métis Youth Wellness: Kehtêyak Perspectives on Identity, Community, Spirituality, and Wholistic Connection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research inquiry explores the wisdom of Métis kehtêyak (the one who knows) to understand their thoughts, experiences, and perceptions in promoting wellness for Métis youth. Grounded in Indigenous Research Methodologies, the researcher met with eight Métis kehtêyak throughout the province to gain a deeper understanding of Métis ways of being, knowing, and doing in relation to wellness. Four overarching wellness themes collectively emerged, emphasizing identity, community, spirituality, and wholism. These findings informed the development of the community organization’s Youth Life Promotion Project through participation in the project’s Youth Leadership Kinship Circle to co-create wellness videos for the life promotion modules. This research provides a summary of the work needed to address the gaps in Métis mental wellness and knowledge driven by Métis kehtêyak.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
