“Enwhisteetkwa/Walk in Water: The Okanagan Version of the History of the Encounter Between Aboriginals and Settlers”
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present essay is dedicated to reflecting upon Jeannette Armstrong’s Enwhisteetkwa Walk in Water, a picture book in which this Okanagan artist, writer and educator is committed to presenting counter-images to the official history of the encounter between Aboriginals and settlers. In fact, as Heather Glebe once pointed out in Cross Canada Writers’ Magazine, Jeannette Armstrong “... is committed to promoting cross-cultural understanding through literature...” (Glebe, 1990: 6), an understanding that brings all of us together, beyond our differences. This understanding and healthy syncretism is even more necessary for the well-being of humankind now at a time when the global economic crisis – and a crisis of values as a consequence (or is the former a consequence of the latter?) – is being felt deeply around the world. It is time for us to open one’s heart and mind to others, respect them and listen actively to their words, for “... it is the duty of each person to care for and take care of one another and seek to resolve conflicts among the people so that the process of life will not be interrupted” (George, “Life is the Gift of Nature but Beautiful Living is the Gift of Wisdom”, 1990: 193). Because these are discourses that matter, I will attempt to show the other side of the story in Enwhisteetkwa Walk in Water and discuss how children’s literature may be the way out of crisis, since it raises one’s awareness and promotes critical thinking.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
