Abstract
Abstract: In 1897 and 1898, Franz Boas’s graduate student Alfred Kroeber was given the task of documenting the language and culture of six Inughuit (Polar Inuit) people infamously brought by Robert Peary from northern Greenland to New York City. Kroeber’s notebooks from this work, archived at the University of California, Berkeley, are largely unknown to linguists and others interested in Inuit languages and people. Kroeber’s notebooks contain about fifty unpublished texts and significant linguistic detail from two generations before what was previously thought to be the first substantial documentation of Inuktun, the language of the Inughuit people. Also included are thirteen pages of lexical and text documentation in Boas’s own hand.

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 it
