Abstract
Isabelle Knockwood’s memoir, Out of the Depths: The Experiences of Mi’kmaw Children at the Indian Residential School at Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, documents the testimony of survivors, educates non-Aboriginal readers, and reconnects the Mi’kmaw reader to traditional ways of knowing. This essay reconsiders the reception of Out of the Depths by contrasting scepticism towards historical representation with the objectives of survivors to offer testimony and document First Nations experience. In contrast to the Canadian government’s efforts to put the past behind us, the essay advocates the memoir as a model for understanding the living legacy of residential schools.

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
