Abstract
This article presents ‘The Seven Grandfathers’ Teachings as a Design Methodology’ which includes an Indigenous value system as a foresight method to identify future responsible design opportunities that integrate Indigenous knowledge and new possible role of designers towards a more sustainable and biocultural diverse world. The Seven Grandfathers’ Teachings have been an Indigenous way of knowing in North America for generations. The Indigenous authors explore how Indigenous knowledge systems, when applied to design, can produce an approach that promotes ethical designs and processes. This design methodology allows a respectful and conscious practice while integrating Indigenous knowledge, thus, Indigenising design practices. The role of designers changes according to time and place; Indigenous knowledges have the potential to give a different approach to enact environmental and culturally relevant design practices.

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
