Abstract
Vancouver Island, the largest island on the Pacific coast of North America, forms the western side of the Salish Sea.Its substantial landmass encompasses considerable geographic, cultural and linguistic diversity.This chapter focuses on the people of its western coast, the Nuu-chah-nulth and Ditidaht, along with their Makah relatives across Juan de Fuca Strait to the south.Networks of kin ties and trade, however, linked the people of the west coast with those across the island and beyond, requiring a perspective that extends to the entire island and adjacent waterways.This chapter discusses some distinct west coast cultural features, along with broader interactions with the peoples of the Salish Sea.Archaeological research documents cultural patterns that were deeply rooted in place, persisting over millennia.Despite this overall stability, the long history of the Nuu-chah-nulth and their relatives also featured wars, territorial shifts and the introduction of new goods and ideas through contact with their neighbours.Such dynamic cultural processes continued into recent and modern times.

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 it
