Abstract
The pattern of ecological destruction and the dislocation of Aboriginal peoples in northern Canada caused by the Manitoba Hydro project make it an important case of environmental injustice deserving of greater attention. The Churchill River Diversion and the Lake Winnipeg Regulation projects allowed Manitoba Hydro to develop the Nelson River as a "power corridor" and to turn Lake Winnipeg into a gigantic "storage battery". Hydroelectric development was perhaps the single most important vehicle for the perpetuation of this history in the last decades of the 20th century. Critics of the Cross Lake position argue that the community cannot expect Manitoba Hydro or the governments of Manitoba and Canada to restore a now-extinct way of life. The impacts of hydroelectric resources in northern Manitoba extend far beyond the traditional lands of the Crees and, indeed, far beyond the boundaries of Manitoba. The development of Manitoba's northern resources offers a case of transnational environmental injustice breathtaking in its scope.

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
