Bibliographic record
Abstract
This doctoral research is about the piqutiit inuusingat – social life and cultural history of things for Inuit – and the threads of sewing legacies that are still present today among Inuit communities. Memoryscape, piqutiit inuusingat (social and cultural lives of Inuit piqutiit), and ancestral spaces are used to lay the groundwork for the dissertation, and Inuit methodologies and theory are discussed through the introduction of the Iglu Model. By problematizing the lack of Inuit voice in archival information, reparations are made for Inuit agency and sovereignty by re-contextualizing Inuit stories and histories through engagement with archival photographs in interviews, as well as in sewing and beading gatherings. Qatiktalik is also contextualized and historicized through discussion about arviqsaqtiit, Inuit and non-Inuit whalers. This research further introduces the concept of tautuqquuqtitiniq, Inuit visual storytelling, with a focus on the sewing legacies from Qatiktalik. A discussion around sewing patterns, and politics around pattern sharing and Inuit beading and beadwork, piqutiit inuusingat, is examined, as is the role they play in how Inuit engage with cultural material and sewing today. Lastly, the exhibition, Nuvisi: Threading our Beads at Qatiktalik, Carleton University Art Gallery (September 28 – December 12, 2021) is discussed, with a focus on Inuit curatorial voice and honouring Ilagiitiarniq – being a good relative – through exhibitions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
