Treaties: The symbiotic connection between land and body sovereignty, an exploration into re-presencing Indigenous epistemologies to re-story sovereignty
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A central claim of this thesis is to illumine the innate connection between land, body, and treaty sovereignty. In this thesis, I will argue that the land and the female body are innately tethered to one another through a reciprocal relationship bound by Anishinaabe epistemologies. A primary purpose of this thesis to demonstrate the interconnectivity between body and the more-than human world which are tethered to treaties and sovereignty. Through this exploration, I offer pathways of possibility to re-presence Anishinaabe epistemologies to re-story the narrative of sovereignty. This thesis will illustrate that epistemic violence has contributed to the exclusion of Anishinaabe knowledge’s which obstructs the relationality between land, body, and treaty sovereignty. Anishinaabe epistemologies can be repositioned to refute settler colonial infringement and reject the states exercise of their borrowed sovereignty which undermines the autonomous nation-to-nation relationship entrenched within treaties between Indigenous Peoples and the Crown within Canada. This research supports the repositioning of Indigenous Peoples and land-based epistemologies to illumine the ways in which Indigenous Peoples can continue to revitalize and reject colonial heteropatriarchy and land usurpation. By grounding my thesis between the relations of the feminine body and the land it refuses the dismissal of nature as a living entity and re-story’s relationality. Rejecting the systemic institutional dispossession of Indigenous epistemologies and sovereignties is essential for Indigenous futurities to reclaim presence and re-story sovereignty.

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.
