Abstract
This chapter examines a crisis currently being experienced by Indigenous people of Canada – violence against women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. It presents the notorious Highway of Tears and related instances of police ineptitude as a case study, placing them within the wider context of racially motivated violence, marginalization, and the long-standing societal acceptance of such actions. It is also noteworthy that homicides and violence against Indigenous women are less likely to result in serious charges than cases involving non-Indigenous victims. The following chapter analyzes resistance and grassroots movements fighting for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S) crisis to be recognized as a systemic issue requiring federal government intervention and the implementation of viable prevention strategies.

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
