Thoughts on a decolonial ontology based on the <i>Assi </i><i>Manifesto</i> by Natasha Kanapé Fontaine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The presentation was made during a conference hosted by the <i>British Journal of Canadian Studies</i> on 11 December. The presentation was based on an article published in French by this journal on an issue regarding Indigenous thinking in Canada.In her poem Manifeste Assi, the Innu writer Natasha Kanapé Fontaine addresses a scream similar to that of negritude to evoke the way of being of the Innu and their relationship to the Earth. This article sees this collection as an exercise of decolonial ontology where it is possible to relearn how to be Innu by finding continuity with the elements and the Earth. By describing an animistic subject in solidarity with its environment and the ancestors, this thought explores the ways of repairing the link of human beings to the Earth. Decolonial ontology means here a relativization of Western rationality in favor of a thought that has long remained invisible.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
