Secular Plays in Churches: Folklore-Based Drama on the Canadian Prairies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Starting from the late 19th century, Ukrainians have been recruited to settle and farm the prairies of Central and Western Canada. The Canadian government has tried to assimilate the Ukrainians who came and practiced an aggressive language policy, especially in the educational system. To counteract the governmental pressure of anglicization, Ukrainians have established their institutions: Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic churches. The churches and the organizations affiliated with them, such as Women’s Leagues, have taught folk traditions including pysanka-writing, embroidery, and folk dances. Church halls and national houses are allowed for secular activities, such as folklore-based plays in Ukrainian. The plays, popular in the 1950s–1960s, reflect the hopes and fears of Ukrainian Canadians concerning the relatives and friends they have left in Ukraine. The plays are no longer staged, and many of the rural churches are now closed. The revival of these plays has become a part of the Sanctuary Project, a multiyear team effort to document Ukrainian-Canadian sacral culture.

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.
