“A true story of national reconciliation”: The Grays Bay Road and Port, Kivalliq Hydro‐Fibre Link, and Inuit jurisdiction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This paper critically examines the recently proposed Grays Bay Road and Port and Kivalliq Hydro‐Fibre Link projects. Both projects aim to open Nunavut's Kivalliq and Kitikmeot regions to extractive development and have been championed as examples of economic reconciliation and Inuit self‐determination. Based on analysis of regulatory proceedings in which Nunavummiut Inuit have considered mining in areas impacted by the corridors, project finances, and the flow of benefits associated with extractive development, we ask how these projects engage Inuit jurisdiction. We suggest that despite claims made by proponents and project supporters, the Grays Bay Road and Port and Kivalliq Hydro‐Fibre Link projects will likely prioritize the aims and objectives of industry and continue the mostly unidirectional, uncompensated flow wealth away from Inuit. We conclude by reflecting on the implications of an expanded resource economy relative to the exercise of authority over Inuit land.

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.
