Abstract
Abstract In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued a clarion call for the settler population of Canada to enter into a relationship with Indigenous peoples through ninety-four Calls to Action that address the harms colonialism caused and to comprehensively address all elements of the two groups’ shared social, economic, cultural, and political story. For the Anisininew people at Island Lake, Manitoba, this inclusive approach to repair colonial damage and to move into new relationships is referred to as mino bimaadiziwin, or living together “in a good way.” The Anisininew communities at Island Lake have entered into a partnership with academics at Brandon University to restore, recover, and reveal the shared past of settlers and Anisininew, showing not only great kindness and openness, but also a true commitment to reparative justice. This type of collaborative research results in knowledge identified as “two-eyed seeing.” This syllabus is the fruit of such collaborative labor, one that strives to live up to the spirit of reconciliation. The methodology at the core of the course is transformative praxis. Given that there is no other official historical account of the Anisininew peoples of Island Lake, students will experience a “from-the-ground-up” training in this process of historical rebuilding.

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 it
