Abstract
Examining the community-engaged research of three Indigenous researchers (nêhiyaw and Métis) at varying stages of our academic journeys, this paper reviews and analyzes Indigenous research methodologies rooted in Indigenous practices, culture, and ways of knowing. We focus on storytelling and Talking Circles, guided by the principles of keeoukaywin—a nêhiyaw/Métis cultural practice of visiting—and wahkohtowin—a nêhiyaw/Métis concept of relationality. We share how our research endeavors are uniquely shaped by these methodologies, qualitative methods, and principles, despite our diverse interests, community partners, and place-based research contexts.

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
