Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper explores Métis author, katherena vermette’s graphic novel collection, A Girl Called Echo (2017-2021) for the ways in which it presents Wahkohtowin-centered storytelling. Engaging with genre conventions of post-apocalyptic narratives, and Métis theory of Wahkohtowin and Indigenous resurgence, this reading of vermette’s text draws connections between historical fiction and futurity. This close reading examines Echo’s journey to connect with her ancestors, grow in her relations with her present-day relations, and consider her roles as a descendant and an ancestor to the future. Through an exploration of these relationships, this paper argues for a Wahkohtowin-centered reading of Métis literatures.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
