The reclamation and rematriation of <i>Tsē Zūl</i>: The <i>Tū Łídlīni Dena</i>'s story of the Faro Mine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tū Łídlīni (Ross River) is a Kaska Dena village nestled at the confluence of the Ross and Pelly Rivers, in so-called Yukon, Canada. 70 km north of Tū Łídlīni, the lead-zinc Faro Mine was developed illegally on unceded Kaska traditional territory in 1969, in the region known as Tsē Zūl. Over the following three decades, Kaska peoples' objections to mining and their claims to land rights were ignored by several different mine owners and kuskāni (settler) governments. Despite this, Tū Łídlīni Kaska resisted the dispossession of their territory, questioned the contamination of their lands, fought for economic opportunities, and continued to steward the Tsē Zūl region. This collaboratively written article, based on a community research report, is rooted in Tū Łídlīni Dena Elders' stories of the injustices and resistance associated with the Faro Mine. These stories form a roadmap for a reclamation project that could and should include actions grounded in compensation, rematriation, and healing – a reclamation that moves beyond colonial, Western-science based solutions towards Kaska Dena visions for the future of Tsē Zūl.

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.
