First Nations, Indigenous Peoples: our laws have always been here
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In order to live beyond the state of bare survival which colonialism would afford us, the re-centring of First Nations laws, knowledges and relationships to land is essential. It is essential that people become free 'in keeping with the original and independent existence of our ancestors'. The colonial mapping of international law excludes Indigenous Peoples from being subjects in colonial international law; only the 'state' qualifies as a subject of international law. The spaces and places of injustice are many, and one course of action taken by First Nations to sustain our survival has been to call upon international law for remedies. In the mid-1990s, the Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta formed an alliance with Aboriginal and environmentalist groups to prevent the building of a nuclear waste dump on Billa Kallina in South Australia, a place of importance to women but also important to the health of many generations ongoing relationships to country.

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.
