Abstract
This paper is a comparative reading of Indigenous Canadian and Ghanaian drama as acts of faithful witnessing that function as resistance to colonial histories of erasures of colonized peoples in Ghana and North America. I contemplate that while Mojica’s play provides the ritual space to testify against multiple coloniality layered in the histories of slavery, genocide, land dispossession, and the cultural erasure committed against Indigenous peoples of Canada, Mohamed Ben Abdallah’s plays stage a recall of the traumatic history of the Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Saharan slave trades, genocides, multiple dislocations, cultural deracination, and identity erasures that continue to haunt the people of West Africa. The study explores postcolonial dramaturgical and theatrical elements such as dance, storytelling, music, and rituals in Princess Pocahontas and the Blue Spots and The Slaves.

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
