Using the global to support the local : community development at Poplar River and the establishment of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Manitoba
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The community of Poplar River in Nofhern Manitoba is using a IINESO World Heritage Site designation to assist with meeting iocal needs.Going beyond the expected, non-renewable resource development and poverty cycle, Asatisiwipe First Nation is taking control over its own developmental plans, and forging an ecologically sustainable vision of community-controlled economic and political development.This planning initiative is taking place before specific large scale development proposals, in effect, a preemptive strike against the non renewable resource development sector.This thesis explores issues surrounding the use of grand scale institutions for local purposes and researches the meaning of "development" of a remote Aboriginal community.Consisting of trips to the community to collect interviews and a thorough policy analysis, it can be concluded that despite Eurocentric planning/definitions, boundary construction, and Parks Canada/TINESCO interference, this is still the best solution for the community as it is an initiative that has been instigated by the First Nation itself.Azaadtiwiziibi giiwedinong Manitoba odaabajitoonaawaa' iwe I-INESCO World Heritage site gaa-ijrjgaadeg ji-wiiji'iwewaad gechiwaag.Awashime ji-izhichigeng ji-giitwaami- aabajichigaadegin ondaadiziwin zhigwa gaa-gidimaagizing.Asatiwisipi Ishkonigan wiinawaa odazhäkaanaawaa' ji-ondaadizing imaa nakeya'ii.Zhigwa miinawaa ji-anokaadamowaad jiondaadiziwaad ani-niigaan zhigwa ogimaawin ji-niigaanishkamowaad.Owe onashowewin da- maadanokaajigaade anokiiwinan ji-onachigaadeg gechiwaag onji.Glizhaach ji-gwayaanchigeng gechiwaag imaa onachigaadeg ji-ani-wiiji'igowaad bemaadiziwaad.Owe mazina'igan wiindamaagemagan aaniin waa-izhi-onachigaadegin ono onashowewinan ji-wiiji'igowaad gechiwaag imaa gaa-ayaawaad giiwedinong ishkoniganan.Ji-izhaang ji-gaganoonindwaa Anishinaabeg ji-maamiinobii'igaadegin onashowewinan mazina'iganing.Daa-ikidom aaniish wemitigoozhiwi-izhichigewin, gechiwaag imaa gaa-onokaajigaadeg zhigwa gaye Parks Canada/LINESCO gaa-wiidookaagewaad, mii owe maawanj menoseg wiinawaa aaniish Ani shinaab e g o dazhiik aanaaw aa' owe izhichi gewin.La communauté autochtone de Poplar River dans le Nord du Manitoba utilise le site du patrimoine mondial de I'UNESCO pour a.ppuyer les besoins locaux.La Première natÌon d'asatisiwipe aki devient gérante du développement écologique dans la forêt boréale où elle habite.Elle est responsable de l'économie et de la politique communautaire.Cette initiative a eu lieu avant les propositions du d,éveloppement à grande échelle des ressources non renouvelables dans la région.Cette thèse explore la signification du terme ainsi que l'emploi des institutions internationales par une communa.utéautochtones isolée.Basé sur des entrevues et d'une analyse politique approþndie, nous pouvons conclure que, malgré les notions eurocentriques, malgré l'établ¡.ssementdes frontières et les désaccords avec Parcs Canada et I'UNESCO, nous croyons que ce projet est encore la meilleure solution pour cette communauté car il s'agit d'une initiative qui a été mise en place par la Première nation.ACKNO\ryLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank first and foremost my supervisor, Dr. Peter Kulchyski, who has supported and encouraged me throughout the entire process of this thesis.I am grateful for the knowledge, the experience and the sense of positivity that he has shared with me about my project.Working with him has been so wonderful and mind-boggling as he is so well-informed.I would also like to thank Dr. Renate Eigenbrod and Dr. Stephane Mclachlan, my two committee members, for providing me with assistance; their knowledge greatly helpful in reconceptualizing certain fmis]understandings.Thank you to all the professors in the Native Studies Department at the University of Manitoba, especially Dr. Christ Trott and Dr. Emma LaRocque, who helped me open my eyes to a lot of things and who impacted the way I look

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.
