A Social History of Native Residents of Washington, D.C., 1835 to 1973
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This dissertation discusses the long history of Indigenous presence and participation in the history of Washington D.C. Native people have claimed space for their nations inside the U.S. capital city to protect their sovereignty, provide services for their communities, and to reset harmful stereotypical narratives. They used the Indigenous concept of kinship to accomplish these goals. Native Washingtonians have lived in the U.S. capital city since its earliest times and continue to live there today. This research explores the history of Native D.C. through the lives of four individuals, Kangiduta (Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota), Sophie Pitchlynn (Choctaw), Zitkala Sa (Yankton Dakota), and D’Arcy McNickle (Métis). These individuals lived in D.C. during different time periods and through their lives, readers experience the challenges and accomplishments of Native Washingtonians between 1835 and 1973. This research demonstrates the consistent presence of Native peoples, both the local state recognized tribal governments and federally recognized tribal governments—in the U.S. capital city.

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.
