Not Sacred, Not Squaws: Indigenous Feminism Redefined
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Building on the work of second-wave radical feminist theorists from fields such as communication studies, sociology, history, and women’s studies; on the work of community-based and grassroots radical feminist theorists and activists; and by examining prostitution and the responses to this form of male violence against women, this dissertation proposes a female-centered theory of colonization and subsequently of decolonizing feminism. Incorporating first-hand prostitution research done in New Zealand and across Canada and by questioning my own uncritical acceptance of the historical social and political status of Indigenous women in Canada, critically looking at the roles of culture and tradition in the oppression of Indigenous women, and by building a decolonizing feminist methodology in the process, this work troubles the very concepts of “colonization” and “feminism” as we currently understand them. Building on over a decade of work as part of the women’s liberation movement, Not Sacred, Not Squaws redefines colonization and situates decolonizing feminism as a distinct and foundational— as opposed to separate and different— component of the women’s liberation movement.

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.
