Andrea H. Procter, A Long Journey: Residential Schools in Labrador and Newfoundland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Histories of Canada and of residential schools are incomplete without these distinct histories of Inuit and Innu Survivors from Labrador and Newfoundland.In A Long Journey, Andrea Procter has partnered with Survivors of Labrador and Newfoundland schools to contribute a history largely untold during the Truth and Reconciliation "era" in Canada.Residential schools in Labrador and Newfoundland were not included in the 2006 Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA) and as a result only had a marginal inclusion in the Truth and Reconciliation hearings between 2008-2015. 7The book follows the Long Journey of Labrador and Newfoundland Survivors and their tireless activism and advocacy to have their histories heard and included.A great deal of this activism culminated in leading their own class action lawsuit resulting also in the 2017-2018 Healing and Commemoration hearings in Labrador and Newfoundland.There was a distinct role for former students and Survivors during the gatherings including making key decisions, including the directive to build an archive in Labrador that provides access to the records of the schools close to most former students (410)(411).This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to learn about the history of residential schools in Canada and about the complexities of residential schooling across Canada.This book is also a key reading in the history(ies) of Canada: educational history of Canada is deficient without this book.Nunatsiavut Inuit, NunatuKavut Inuit and Innu students encountered many of the same kinds of day-to-day experiences and abuses that other residential school Survivors did, across Canada.They also had distinct, regional, and familial-specific experiences that are framed in Long Journey through Inuit and Innu knowledges and storytelling.Landscapes, territories, and colonial relationships in Labrador and Newfoundland influenced how children were taken and how they were treated at the schools.The Moravian Church is one of the oldest Protestant orders, with international missions and long histories of colonial incursion; the International Grenfell Association (IGA) is a charitable association for educational and health support, through similar colonial-mission objectives.Neither the Moravian Church nor the IGA received federal funding from Canada or from Newfoundland and Labrador.The schools were operated in a similar way to all other residential schools in Canada in order to assimilate, Christianize, and civilize Indigenous children, even though the funding and administration was almost entirely drawn from the churches themselves.Voices of Survivors and their Long Journey(s) with Canada form the central narrative of the book.Coupled with the Survivor histories of the book, the chronology 7 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Honouring the Truth, Reconciling

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.
