Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Note on TerminologyThe term "Indian" is used throughout the first nine chapters of Seen but Not Seen to reflect contemporary usage in Canada's first century, although sometimes I also use Indigenous and First Nations when speaking of these peoples at this time.From 1867 to the mid-1960s Indians and non-Indians alike used the word almost exclusively.The term is based on the confusion between the Americas and India, a misnomer from the start.The designation "Native peoples" was common in the 1970s, with "Aboriginal peoples" also gaining acceptance.Most recently the term "Aboriginal" is in the process of being replaced by the term "Indigenous," a term consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted in 2007.31 In the epilogue I favour "First Nations," particularly after the term came into widespread use in Canada in the 1980s."First Nations" refers to those individuals who are officially known under the Indian Act as Indians, and it does not include Métis or Inuit peoples.First Nations is not used in the United States, where, "Native Americans" appears at present to be the preferred term.32 Chelsea Vowel provides a helpful review of terminology in her Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis & Inuit Issues in Canada, published in 2016.33 The terms used to designate the federal department with the constitutional responsibility for the First Nations have altered over time.From its creation in 1880 and until 1936 it was known as the Department of Indian Affairs.Downsized in 1936, it became the Indian Affairs Branch of the Department of Mines and Resources, and it was reassigned in 1949 to the Department of Citizenship and Immigration.In 1966 it reemerged as a separate department, Indian Affairs and Northern Development, later briefly becoming Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.In 2011 a new title was assigned.Opposition to the word "Indian" led the government of Stephen Harper to alter the title of the department to Map 0.1 Cultural Areas: the variety and diversity of cultural groups.Map 0.2 Indigenous language groups within the boundaries of present-day Canada.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
