Abstract
This article examines historians' contributions to the Qikiqtani Truth Commission (qtc) from 2007 to 2012. The qtc was unique in being commissioned, conducted, and paid for by an Aboriginal organization, the Qikiqtani Inuit Association. The qtc reviewed the elimination of qimmiit (sled-dogs) as well as other government policies concerning the Arctic and the relocation of northern communities to thirteen settlements between 1950 and 1975. By examining recent trends in writing about Nunavut's past along with historians' involvement with the qtc, this article argues that the qtc combined oral testimony with archival research to produce a compelling analysis of historical trauma and public memory. It thus demonstrates the ways in which historians can contribute to the work of reconciliation and the exploration of historical trauma.

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
