Abstract
Ehrenwörtliche ErklärungIch erkläre ehrenwörtlich, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbstständig und ohne fremde Hilfe verfasst, andere als die angegebenen Quellen nicht benutzt und die den Quellen wörtlich oder inhaltlich entnommenen Stellen als solche kenntlich gemacht habe.Die Arbeit wurde bisher in gleicher oder ähnlicher Form keiner anderen inländischen oder ausländischen Prüfungsbehörde vorgelegt und auch noch nicht veröffentlicht.Die vorliegende Fassung entspricht der eingereichten elektronischen Version.Datum: 29.08.2017Unterschrift:days and were held at special occasions, such as to celebrate births, name givings and marriages, or a new chief's initiation 19 .The more potlatches or feasts a chief held, the higher-ranking he or she became 20 .The most important aspects of the potlatch were the feasting, dancing and the giveaway.The host family would often save and collect for years to have enough goods to give away.These goods included button blankets, artefacts and even canoes, but also included staples like food or clothing and, after contact with Europeans and the flourishing of the fur trade, European luxury goods 21 .According to the Natives, performing the potlatch ceremony was not only essential for their political and economic systems, but was also based in law: "It is a strict law that bids us distribute our property among our friends and neighbours" 22 and to prevent accumulation of unnecessary surplus. The Structure of the ThesisIn the same way in which for Indigenous people law and cultural practices are interlinked, this thesis attempts to bridge the gap between legal and cultural studies by examining both the legal frameworks in place regarding Indigenous peoples and the reality of struggles to protect Indigenous lands from exploitation or destruction.The interdisciplinarity of this research is a great asset because it allowed the author to step outside of the conventional way of looking at land rights and land struggles by allowing her to use a more holistic lens essential to understanding the entire situation better.Indigenous studies are mostly approached from either a legal, and often a legalistic, or an anthropological standpoint, but seldom from both angles together.To do the complexity of the field justice and due to the interconnection of the fields of Human and Indigenous rights and events in our globalised world, an interdisciplinary approach was 16 See Johnson p. 193 17 See [1973] S.C.R. 313 p. 4 18 See Steckley and Cummins p. 113; [1973] S.C.R. 313 p. 28, 34 19 See Johnson p. 194; Steckley and Cummins p. 172f 20 See Johnson p. 197; Tennant p. 7; Indian and Northern Affairs Canada 1996 p. 267f 21 See Johnson p. 194; Steckley and Cummins p. 173f; Tennant p. 7 22 See Steckley and Cummins p. 175; Tennant p. 52

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.
