Abstract
Abstract This article theorizes resistance in the context of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Drawing on the work of Powhatan-Renapé and Lenape scholar Jack Forbes, this article situates anti-Olympic resistance within the context of struggles against what Forbes refers to as ‘wétiko psychosis’. As a kind of psycho-social illness, wétiko psychosis speaks to the pervasive capitalism at work within the Olympic machine and Indigenous relationships to capitalism and the Games. In turn, it then considers the role of art, in particular the image of the thunderbird created by Kwakwakwa’kw artist and activist Gord Hill and TsuuT’ina/Nak’azdli artist and activist Riel Manywounds, in the landscape of anti-Olympic resistance. This article argues that the thunderbird stands is both an antidote and vaccination for the kinds of consumptive sickness contemporary Olympics are plagued with. Lastly, I discuss how the thunderbird’s visual presence in the Olympic archive further reinforces its power.

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
