Abstract
Abstract This is the second of two essays examining the recent historiography of Canadian Aboriginal History published roughly in the last two decades (1992–2012) using a regional focus – British Columbia. Historians have been touched by trends outside their own discipline, even from beyond the academy. Aboriginal land claims, rights litigation, and landmark cases originating in BC, such as Delgamuukw , have made historians more aware of constructions of history in the courts. Scholars writing about Aboriginal history in British Columbia reference popular and community histories and education curricula alongside academic works. The fixation on colonialism has kept Native–Settler relations at the forefront. Recently, however, the scholarship has begun to push past mere explorations of BC's Aboriginal peoples in colonial history to consider colonialism within Aboriginal history and epistemologies. Indigenous‐centric scholarship has demanded a more substantial voice in the production of histories, some insisting on exclusivity. At the same time, academic historians seek out opportunities for cross‐cultural dialogues and listen attentively to alternative histories bringing them into the professional scholarship even at the cost of “unsettling” historical narratives.

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 it
