Tracking Justice: The Constitution Express to Shared Sovereignty
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) is awakening to the news around the patriation of the Constitution. Grand Chief George Manuel, President of UBCIC and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples have summoned UBCIC’s legal department to develop a response to Canada's draconian strategy to eliminate the Indigenous Peoples’ voice from patriation politics. This article looks back at this process from the perspective of one of UBCIC's lawyers, from the grassroots development of the Constitution Express to Ottawa to the legal cases launched in the British Courts. Further, it considers the impacts of the constitutional entrenchment of Indigenous rights today against the aims of the Constitution Express, the resurgence of Indigenous Peoples' legal orders, and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

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.
