Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter follows the journey of Norwegian collector Johan Adrian Jacobsen to the Pacific coast of Canada to collect as much as possible from the Northwest Coast tribes (especially the Haida) living between Alaska and Vancouver. The chapter chronicles his predicament when he arrived at the location of Northwest Coast tribes and found private collectors, a representative of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and tourists—hordes of them—who came in the summers to the port cities, towns, and even some villages. The chapter then describes how he went door-to-door in villages, and found many people with beautiful and fascinating things to sell. It highlights the Haida crest pole, a focal point in the atrium of Bastian's Museum, which Jacobsen purchased from a man who had converted to Christianity in the Haida village of Masset, in the Queen Charlotte Islands. The chapter stresses that Jacobsen's trip was part of Bastian's hypercollecting—attempting to get as much as possible as fast as possible.

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.
