Abstract
The James Bay Agreement is the only "comprehensive land claim" that has an implementation history and also covers an area where provincial governments control lands and resources. As such it represents an important test-case for evaluating government pledges on Aboriginal rights. This paper reviews selected aspects of the implementation of the Agreement, providing an update on earlier works. The discussion is limited to the James Bay Crees and deals primarily with the federal state. The analysis reviews the government record while also attempting to account for the resistance to recognizing Cree rights. It is argued that the role and priorities of the state in Canadian capitalist society must be emphasized: treaty obligations which restrain capitalist development or which establish expensive precedents are chronically ignored. Aboriginal rights are generally subordinate to other public policy priorities, and as a result distinct cultures are threatened

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
