Abstract
According to Death Registers kept by agents of the Office of Indian Affairs, between 1922 and 1946, Cahuilla, Kumeyaay, Cupeño, Luiseño, Serrano, and Chemehuevi people of the Mission Indian Agency of Southern California suffered 180 recorded deaths caused by tuberculosis, the leading cause of death resulting from infectious disease. Nearly half of those who perished were between the ages of 15 and 39. The leading "occupation" of those who died was "child/student." Throughout the period under examination, Indians had much higher crude death rates per 100,000 population than did all people in the United States. In 1926, the Native death rate reached its zenith of 661, compared to 86 among all races within the United States. Death rates among First Nations people in Southern California declined during the 1930s and dropped off dramatically during the 1940s due to public health efforts of field nurses and teachers as well as the agency of Indian elders who taught children about the causes, transmissions, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis.

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
