Bibliographic record
Abstract
JOE MATHIAS, whose Indian name is St'sukwanem, is a hereditary Chief of the Squamish people. He has also held the position of elected Chief since 1967 when he won it by acclamation. In 1969 he was appointed by his people as the political spokesperson for the Squamish nation. For seventeen years he worked as the band's housing administrator, and in 1985 he became the Land Claims Coordinator. In the same year he was selected by other British Columbia bands as British Columbia's regional vice-president to the Assembly of First Nations. He was re-elected by acclamation in 1988 and resigned the post in 1990. At the British Columbia regional level he has been active with the Aboriginal Council, the First Nations Congress and various organizations dealing with fisheries issues. Nationally, Joe has worked on the constitution and the Cooligan report on the federal land claims policy. Gary Yabsley is an associate in the law firm of Ratcliff & Co. in North Vancouver. He has represented Indian & Inuit nations on a broad range of matters for over fifteen years, during which time he and Chief Mathias co-authored this article. Gary is currently completing his doctorate in political science at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas.

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.
