The Blakeney Government and the Settlement of Treaty Indian Land Entitlements in Saskatchewan, 1975-1982
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Between 1975 and 1982 a concerted effort was wade to fulfil treaty Indian land entitlements in Saskatchewan. The provincial NDP government led by the Hon. A.E. Blakeney proposed the “Saskatchewan formula” as the basis for a settlement. The process of settling entitlements was a complex one, but a close analysis of the federal-provincial negotiations suggests that most of the responsibility for the lack of progress belongs to the federal government. The flexible approach taken by the Saskatchewan government, who interpreted land entitlements in the context of the “spirit and intent” of the treaties, collided with the relatively inflexible approach of the federal Office of Native Claims, who were wedded to the concept of “lawful obligation.” When the problem was delayed in its solution, various groups had time to mount opposition to the proposed settlement. Consequently, a great opportunity was missed to achieve a major breakthrough and bring about an easing of tensions between Indians and non-Indians in Canada.

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.
