Abstract
For eight years, the Yukon Government and four First Nation governments—the First Nation of Na-cho Nyak Dun, the Gwich’in Tribal Council, the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, and the Tr’ondek Hwech’in First Nation—have been working to create a land use plan for the Peel Watershed in northeast Yukon, Canada. This paper analyzes publicly available data on the decision-making process led by the Yukon Government following submission of a final recommended land use plan by the Peel Watershed Planning Commission. We argue that the Yukon Government failed to effectively reconcile different perspectives and values through the decision-making process. Using an analytical framework from the policy sciences, we contend that it is not the polarizing nature of these perspectives that has caused land use planning for the Peel region to break down; rather it is a broken decision-making process that to date has failed to secure the common interest. This failure has left many of those involved in the Peel region’s land use plan with the perception that their voices are no longer being heard in this process. We describe how these fractures occurred and present a number of recommendations that could improve the decision-making process for the Peel Watershed land use plan, with application for future such processes elsewhere in the Yukon.

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
