Abstract
Abstract This article explores the leadership journey of an Indigenous leader working within a non-Indigenous institutional context in Canada, focusing on the ongoing processes of decolonization and reconciliation. Grounded in the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the article examines how Indigenous leadership principles are enacted in environments shaped by colonial structures and assumptions. Attention is given to the systemic, relational and personal obstacles that challenge effective leadership, including resistance to change, cultural misalignment, and the emotional labour associated with reconciliation work. The Medicine Wheel is employed as both a conceptual framework and a reflective tool, illustrating its role in guiding holistic, ethical and relational approaches to leadership and organizational transformation. By situating Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing at the centre of the analysis, this article contributes to emerging scholarship on Indigenous leadership in non-Indigenous spaces and offers insights for educators, administrators, and policymakers engaged in meaningful decolonization and reconciliation efforts.

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.
