Abstract
Abstract Long woolen burden straps are a distinctive carrying device used by Gitksan, Witsuwit'en, and other peoples of the northwestern part of British Columbia, Canada. They were used for many purposes, including carrying cargo, securing dog packs, supporting cradles, and carrying infants and small children, thus enabling the effective movement of people and goods over land and up and down the steep mountain slopes of the region. With 20th‐century changes in economy and transportation, strap weaving has become a heritage craft. The origins of this technology are obscure: Was it wholly indigenous, a European introduction, or a hybrid technology based on an undocumented 18th‐ or 19th‐century European introduction of rigid heddle weaving to the region? Early ethnologists, working in a “salvage ethnography” paradigm, dismissed this technology as a recent European introduction. However, re‐examination of historic and contemporary straps, spindles, and looms suggests a more complex analysis. [tumpline, Gitksan, Witsuwit'en, weaving, carrying, British Columbia, heddle]

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
