Generated with the built-in image_gen tool, then encoded to WebP without cropping. Full prompts are preserved in reviews/bannock/image-prompts.json in the source repository. The fictional family is not a portrait of any named source. The camp image is not the 1900 photograph. Historical clothes, faces, exact artifacts, geography and transfer events are not claimed. ## Series pattern Use the existing Treaty Six styles.css and story.js; keep new overrides scoped here. Keep inline source links, alt text, motion control, normal scroll, mobile in-flow figures, no-JavaScript reading and printable sources. Future Illustrated Stories should retain these same principles. ## Research expansion: Scottish food, fur-trade networks and hardship Owner requested a clearer Scottish-to-Canadian connection and examination of the claim that bannock began as food for dire times.

Its role in economical household cooking is supported, but a single famine invention is not. The trade chronology gives a documented setting for transmission; no named first recipe handover is invented. The Red River diagram is explicitly a synthesis of connections. The later Prairie food crisis is distinguished from earlier everyday and travel use. Indigenous food knowledge predating imported flour remains a separate thread.
