Abstract
"Eternal Sovereigns explores transnational art histories of Indigeneity that engaged with Rome and the Vatican from 1833 to the present day. Analyzing archives, artists, and visual evidence across Italy and the Indigenous North America known as Turtle Island, Gloria Jane Bell aims to unsettle the colonial assumptions and discourse put forth by Vatican missionary institutions through archives that falsely emphasized protection and valued exoticism. In doing so, Bell illuminates an untold chapter of the church's history and reveals the global circulation of Indigenous arts in the early twentieth century at the Vatican. Bell argues for the agency of Indigenous materials as cultural belongings and travelers that were sent to Rome but never returned home. Thinking self-reflexively as an Indigenous scholar of Métis heritage, Bell also incorporates her own narrative and art as a method of destabilizing the power of archives and expanding the realm of what counts as art history. In doing so, she explores the range of Indigenous experience, highlights the audacious perseverance of Indigenous artists under colonial duress, and reclaims and restores the sovereignty retained over Indigenous visual and material culture."--

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
