Abstract
This article addresses the relationship between the Vuntut Gwitchin and the Canadian state during the early twentieth century. Although this was a moment of increasing contact with nonindigenous people, the Gwitchin refer to this period in their oral histories as being particularly harmonious, even “the best time to be Gwitchin.” Accounts of daily life emphasize the selective incorporation of European goods in ways that meshed with traditional ethics. The article contrasts these stories with Gwitchin descriptions of the Alfred Johnson manhunt, an event that brought the Canadian state into Gwitchin space to hunt a fugitive. In the early twentieth century, such direct contact with Western legal norms was rare; oral histories describe this extension of the law into Gwitchin space as corrosive, capable of changing patterns of life and ethics. Unlike European trade goods, these technologies of rule were harder to participate in selectively. Thus this article argues that 1900–1940 was a unique period in Gwitchin history not because there was little contact with Euro-Canadians but rather because contact rarely involved disciplinary forms of power with the potential to make Gwitchin society subject to new legal norms and ideas.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
