Critically Sovereign: Indigenous Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies
Abstract
A woman returned from the field to find a curious hole in the ground outside her lodging.She looked inside the hole, deep into the earth, and someone spoke to her from there.The woman asked who it was."If anyone wishes to hear stories, let them come and roll a little tobacco or a bead, and I will tell them a story." So the people came, with tobacco and beads, and many stories were told.We do not know whether the stories are true, only that they tell us who we are.And they all begin with a giving of thanks. 1 Wanishi (Lenape).Chin' an gheli (Dena'ina).Chokma'ski (Chickasaw).Nya:weh (Seneca).Niawen/ Niawen kowa (Onyota'aka).Ahéhee' (Diné).Mahalo

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
