SNITCHED: : Learning From a Traditional Place
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Here is a story about a traditional Aboriginal place as told by Elder John Elliott Sr. The place is SNETOED, which means place of blue grouse. SNITCHED2 is on the traditional territories of the WDSANEC peoples who live on what is today called the Saanich Peninsula on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The story represents teachings about relationship that are integral to the WDSANEC culture. The article begins with traditional stories associated with SNJTDED (pronounced Sneet kwulth) before the first contact with Europeans. Five WDSANEC realities about relationship inherent in this story are thankfulness, kindness, helpfulness, respect, and transformation. These teachings come from a healthy and long-lasting relationship with place. The article then tells how SNITCHED was taken by the settlers from the WDSANEC people when they were at their weakest. Finally, the article uses the teachings from this traditional place and shows how these are useful today in reconciling relations between the WDSANEC people, traditional places such as SNITOED, and others who currently live on or use these traditional territories.This is a story about a traditional place on southern Vancouver Island. The place is called SNITCHED in the SENCOTEN language. SNITCHED is an original village site of the WDSANEC people. In a sense, SNITCHED is a womb of WDSANEC people. The first WDSANEC man was put on the earth there by the creator XALS. This first man was named SLDEMEWDD, rain. He was put there on a rainy night to learn how to live in this place.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
