Abstract
Gender, ethnicity and social class are powerful structuring components that influence the formation of personal identity and social groups, as well as constrain interpersonal interactions within social groups. The following dissertation is an examination of how gender, ethnicity and class were actively negotiated and employed by Native Americans, Métis and whites to construct personal and social identities on the frontier during the nineteenth century fur trade. This discussion of identity will focus on the example of John B. Richardville to examine how he used material culture to construct, portray and maintain multiple personal and social identities in the nineteenth century fur trade.\nJohn B. Richardville served as the last civil chief of the Miami tribe (1816 - 1841) and it is argued that he actively drew upon elements of his ethnicity, gender, and class, while purposely utilizing material culture to create multiple social and personal identities. These identities were then strategically employed in different arenas of his life in order to secure his role within the Miami tribe, as well as within the dominant white, Euroamerican culture of the nineteenth century. A materialist approach framed within a gendered and identity based theoretical framework will be applied to the archaeological assemblages recovered from the Chief Richardville House (12AL1887) and the Chief Richardville House and Miami Treaty Grounds (12HU1013), as well as the structures themselves in order to examine how Richardville utilized material culture to accomplish these goals. It is hypothesized that Richardville actively portrayed different identities at each structure, utilizing different types of material culture to do so, creating unique archaeological signatures at each location. An analysis of these archaeological signatures and materials recovered from these sites is expected to illustrate the different facets of Richardville’s social and personal identity presented in each location.

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
