BALANCING OTIPEMISIWAK AND WAHKOHTOWIN: MÉTIS WOMEN AT ST. FRANÇOIS XAVIER, MANITOBA, 1790-1840
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Centering the principles of otipemisiwak and wahkohtowin, this thesis examines the role of Métis women in the development of the community of St. François Xavier. While recent historiographical shifts have emphasized community-engaged histories and women’s voices, the role of Métis women within the Red River region during the first half of the nineteenth century remains largely underexplored. This research addresses this gap by highlighting how women were instrumental in shaping the community’s identity during the period of 1790-1840. Utilizing the worldviews of otipemisiwak and wahkohtowin offers a nuanced understanding of how Métis women embedded these concepts into the collective identity, asserting their independence whilst nurturing kinship. Ultimately, this thesis sheds light on the enduring significance of Métis women’s leadership and their vital role in shaping Métis identity, offering a deeper understanding of the community of St. François Xavier as a whole.

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.
