Abstract
In the Commonwealth settler states of Australia, New Zealand and Canada in the last two decades, 'reconciliation' has become a key term for expressing a new relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous (primarily white settler) peoples. The term is usually associated with post-conflict societies and its use in the settler states is meant to acknowledge the historical injustices that indigenous people suffered in the colonial past. In this article, I examine how reconciliation evokes a kind of postcolonial nationhood in settler states in a post-imperial era. This is a peculiar form of postcoloniality since it does not mean the realization of political independence for indigenous people. It does, however, mean the reframing of settler states in more local terms. In fact, I suggest that the ways in which justice has been provided to indigenous people have invested their indigeneity with a high cultural value that non-indigenous people in these countries also want, in order to localize their expressions of postcolonial nationhood.

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 it
