Development corporations in the Canadian north – examples for economic grassroots initiatives among the Inuit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Starting with the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement of 1975 until the Nunavik Inuit Land Claim Agreement of 2006, the Inuit in Canada have negotiated some of the most extensive land claim agreements found in the Arctic region, opening up a variety of development opportunities for the beneficiaries of these regional agreements. One of the central purposes of these modern land claim agreements is to create an economic base and to promote economic self-reliance for the Inuit beneficiaries. As part of a local grassroots economic development movement that can be witnessed in these regions, development corporation were created starting in the 1970s with the mandate to invest capital into busi nesses and economic projects to create jobs and income for the local Inuit population. This paper will look at the efforts of two particular development corporations: the Makivik Corporation in Nunavik (Northern Quebec) and the Labrador Inuit Development Corporation (LIDC) in Nunatsiavut (Northern Labrador).

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.
