Abstract
niciwâmiskwêmak/cousinsDisinherited Generations xxii punctuation.As they speak, it is always clear that they are niciwâmiskwêmak, first cousins, old friends, allies for life.Throughout their lives, Nellie and Kathleen have rejected the Canadian government's never-ending attempts to define, legislate, and restrict the identity of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.They believe the indigenous peoples of this continent have the moral and legal right to assert their own identity, in their own words, at their own time, without interference.This is the story of a long battle."We created an organization called Indian Rights for Indian Women," Nellie begins."We made history when we challenged Section 12(1)(b)-the discriminatory section of the old Indian Act. 1 People now have to understand what we were doing, and they are not really thinking about how that law affected them.It affected most Aboriginal families across Canada: their sisters, mothers, aunts and cousins."More than 162,000 First Nations citizens in Canada can thank Nellie and Kathleen-and many brave women like them-for the treaty and Aboriginal rights they reclaimed after Canada ended sexual discrimination in the Indian Act in 1985. 2 Twenty-seven years later, these men, women and children are still waiting for justice, and that's why the oral testimony of two outspoken elders is so important.◆ Nellie Carlson is now eighty-five.Kathleen Steinhauer was eighty when she died suddenly of heart failure on March 4, 2012, shortly before the publication of this book.Long ago their good friend from Saskatchewan, the writer and activist Maria Campbell, encouraged them to assemble a history of the Indian Rights for Indian Women movement so that this important knowledge would be preserved.That's when they approached me and asked for my help.I had interviewed Nellie Carlson

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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
