Abstract
Saskatchewan, and sow wheat where the native prairie grasses once sprang from the earth.They traveled in winter, before the thaw and fertile promise that spring brings.When they arrived, Eleanor could not believe her eyes.The door to the farmhouse, a wooden clapboard structure, was wide open.The snow had accumulated inside the house like a massive heap of sugar.David handed her a shovel and they began, digging in, carving out a new life on the land only ten kilometres south of the Qu'Appelle Valley.The story behind the naming of the Qu'Appelle River and Valley reveals that my great-grandparents were not the first people called to settle on the Canadian prairies.In 1804, Daniel Harmon, a Métis fur trader, paddled along the river and encountered a group of Cree hunters.The hunters told Harmon that a Cree spirit possessed the river, floating along the surface of the black waters, crying out in Cree, "Kâ-têpwêt?" "Qui appelle?," meaning "Who is calling?"In 1852, the Hudson's Bay Company established a fur trading post along the Qu'Appelle River, and seventy years later, the forces of colonialism called my great-grandparents to the land that had never belonged to the Canadian government to sell.For ten thousand years before David and Eleanor came, Indigenous communities lived in spiritual communion with the land without owning the land.Land ownership did not always align with Indigenous cosmologies: land was the foundation for the life force; it could not be owned, but it was known, navigated, and managed in complex ways, according to each group's traditional ecological knowledge and understanding of geography, botany, wildlife, weather, and the seasonal changes.The Blackfoot, the Assiniboine, the Dene, the Cree and Saulteaux, and Métis peoples, amongst many other Indigenous groups in the west, were hunting and gathering peoples who depended on the earth in diverse ways: harvesting roots, berries, bark, and wild plants, and hunting moose, elk, deer, bear, and woodland caribou.Many Indigenous groups on the prairies followed the migratory paths of buffalo throughout the expanse of what would come to be known as western Canada.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
