Abstract
Keith Thor Carlson. The Power of Place, Problem of Time: Aboriginal Identity and Historical Consciousness in Cauldron of Colonialism. University of Toronto Press, 2010. 375 pp. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Illustrations. $32.95 so. I suspect that you are reading this review for same reasons I had for agreeing to review this book. Like you, I was intrigued by title; but I would be remiss if I didn't point out that it was a mistake to judge this book's value by its cover. First, book does indeed address the of and of time;' but not in way title suggests. The title doesn't actually set a frame for its investigation beyond hint that era under exploration includes of colonialism. So, title of this book is problematic for a number of reasons. First, those reading title are not given a hint as to where this cauldron might be taking place. Second, some may argue that era of colonialism could very well be considered as an ongoing process, and, therefore, it might be assumed that book will cover from First Contact, to today's twenty-first century Aboriginal society, with its myriad of problems. That is, if there is a of that this book is exploring, in a particular place, how does Aboriginal Identity of that change over time, or is problem one of stasis; or is that cauldron still cooking Aboriginal people? Next, just where is place that holds such power for Aboriginal people? Equally, what are elements of that unnamed that create those problems of identity and consciousness? If you've read this far in this review, I must assume that you--as did I--admit that title is intriguing enough to pique and keep your interest. At close to 300 pages of text, I was expecting a broad exploration of how power of Aboriginal places shaped Aboriginal identity generally, across broad expanse of colonialism but where? Upon reading book, I did find answers to many of questions I posed above. The place of book is Lower Fraser River Watershed Region of British Columbia, Canada (3). The time of title refers to colonial period in late eighteenth century (just prior to first smallpox epidemic) and running through to 1906 (the beginning of age of contemporary west coast Aboriginal politics) (26). The Aboriginal People of this book are known today as Stolo (although author spells it Sto:lo throughout). …

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.
