Abstract
Just the legacy of the place y'know, if you just learn a little bit, just learning that James McGill was a slave owner, right, and he had both Black and Indigenous slaves, and this is the name of the place that we're in; there's some sort of inherent contradiction in that, that we're coming here.So just kind of like, whether you know it or not almost, your identity as a Black person or a person of colour is under threat.Just right off the bat.(KB) [The university is] corrupt, they're criminals, and they have to leave.We never surrendered our lands, never.McGill is squatting on our land.-Kahentinetha Horn of the Bear Clan, Mohawk Nation 1McGill University is located on traditional Kanien'kehá:ka land.As woman titleholder Kahentinetha Horn explained in September 2015 after serving the university a Notice of Seizure, 2 the land was taken through the colonial invasion of Kanien'kehá:ka territories and has since been occupied in contravention of the law of the land and Great Law of Peace of the Haudenosaunee.Horn asserts, "We have never seen a document from McGill that they actually got our permission to build that university on our land and that we ever relinquished any title to our land."3 While in this chapter I examine the university's histories as negotiated and recorded by settlers, it is important to remember that the land upon which these stories take place is that of Indigenous peoples and was never ceded.Through colonial dispossession the land became recognized by settlers as the property of James McGill, who in his will bequeathed his eighteen-hectare Burnside Estate and ten thousand pounds to the Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning in order to establish a college in his name.James McGill died in 1813, and in 1821 McGill University was established after receiving royal charter from King George IV.

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.
