Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Jesuits of the seventeenth century engaged in intensive missionary work with the Wendat (Huron) living in what was then called New France, now Ontario and Quebec. A great deal is known about this work thanks to the Jesuit Relations, a collection of reports that were sent by these missionaries to their superiors back in Europe and which were later published. One significant source of information about both the Jesuits and the Wendat which has not been analysed significantly by scholars is texts published in these reports written in the Wendat language and translated into French and English. One potentially informative text was written down from words spoken by a trio of Wendat speakers—Jacques Oachonk, Louis Taieron, and Joseph Sondouskon—in 1654 by Jesuit Father Pierre-Joseph-Marie Chaumonot, who was very knowledgeable about the language. The text forms a message that the Wendat wanted sent to a Catholic congregation in Paris, France. Based on some fifty years work with the language, dealing largely with the dictionaries and grammars written by Jesuit linguists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the author has translated this text with a view toward documenting the Wendat language and culture.

Not 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.
