Sources and educator review

The submission package includes publisher-supplied reference documents and searchable extracts. Sources retain their individual credits and license notices. Historical texts, machine captions, and OCR need careful verification. Proposed teaching connections are not official endorsements or approved alignments. The assistant cannot replace Elders, fluent speakers, local cultural guidance, or educator judgment.
