Abstract
Tammarniit (Mistakes)Between 1939 and 1963, the federal government embarked on a program of relocation and relief in the Eastern Arctic that would dramatically alter the lives of Inuit living there.This book documents how the development of the Canadian welfare state coincided with attempts to assimilate Inuit and organize their lives according to Western ideas about the family, work, and community.This policy resulted in many 'tammarniit' (mistakes) that led to social disruption, cultural disintegration, and even contributed to death among Inuit.Tammarniit begins with an account of the debate over which branch of government should be responsible for the Inuit.It then considers the impact of the postwar liberal welfare state on Inuit.This is followed by a detailed account of one attempt to deal with emerging concerns: relocation of Inuit from the east coast of Hudson Bay to the high Arctic.Subsequent chapters deal with tragic events taking place in the Keewatin region in the late 1950s, including deaths from starvation at Henik and Garry lakes.The authors examine the subsequent relocation of the survivors and further attempts to assimilate Inuit with mainstream Canadian society.Throughout the book, the themes of responsibility, relief, and relocation emerge as central concepts in understanding this unique and often troublesome period in Canadian history.The authors have made extensive use of archival documents, many of which have not been available to researchers before, among them the Alex Stevenson Collection, which was stored in the Archives of the Northwest Territories.They have also interviewed many key individuals who were involved with events during the period.The result is a compelling and sobering look at the evolution of Canadian policy in the North and its tragic effects on Inuit.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
