Abstract
Known gaps in health and social care, largely stemming from colonization, result in poorer outcomes for Indigenous peoples with cancer as compared to non-Indigenous peoples. Also, few researchers have focused on the strengths of Indigenous peoples in dealing with such challenges. Of note is a lack of research exploring Indigenous knowledge in this context and the ways in which such knowledge may be conveyed through stories and visual arts. With a view to exploring Indigenous cancer experiences, we completed a qualitative project with five communities in Canada. Data were collected via sharing sessions, photography and journaling, and individual interviews; all of these methods resulted in stories that were selected and shared by the participants themselves in their own words. The intersections of storytelling and visual arts were interpreted, resulting in three themes: (1) Singing, painting, and drawing stories connects to tradition; (2) Crafting stories connects the traditional and contemporary; and (3) Sharing stories connects participants to others. The results of this study have implications for culturally safe health care for Indigenous peoples with cancer, but also for the exploration of storytelling and the visual arts in health care more broadly.

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
