Abstract
The expulsion of Aboriginal people from Canadian and US national parks has often been characterized as an attempt to create the illusion of an Edenic wilderness within the settled landscapes of the post-frontier West. In Manitoba's Riding Mountain National Park, however, the National Parks Branch evicted the Keeseekowenin Ojibway Band from a small reserve within the park boundary in 1936 in response to more specific local economic development concerns and federal administrative priorities. Parks Branch officials were alarmed initially over the status of elk in the region, but the expulsion was also carried out in response to pressure from both local and departmental tourism boosters who hoped to create an attraction for automobile travellers from within the province and from the United States. In addition, senior officials and local agents in the Department of Indian Affairs supported the removal of the Keeseekoowenin Ojibway from a rich hunting and fishing ground because they thought such a move would bolster the department's program of assimilating Native people through immersion in the supposedly more civilized occupation of agriculture. The expulsion of the Keeseekoowenin Ojibway from Riding Mountain National Park proceeded, in fact, with almost no reference to the protection of wilderness values, but was tied instead to state-driven and popular conceptions of race hierarchy, social progress, and economic development within the Riding Mountain region.

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
