Indigenous Tools for Living: decolonizing genocide-informed health education
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Indigenous Tools for Living is an innovative health education program that supports and empowers frontline workers in dealing with complex trauma in culturally distinct and decolonizing ways. Built upon the foundational teachings of Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy, Indigenous Tools for Living embodies a commitment to the health and wellness of Indigenous communities by prioritizing Indigenous knowledges and enriching our collective understanding of health education and leadership. Indigenous Tools for Living is facilitated by the Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy Teaching Collective and clinically supervised by Shirley Turcotte, the grandmother of Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy. Central to Indigenous Tools for Living is its commitment to cultural humility, reciprocity, and survivance. Through a holistic, culturally neutral framework that integrates culture, land, orality, community, and ethics, the program offers a transformative vision for Indigenous public health rooted in healing, justice, and self-determination; highlighting the importance of Indigenous-led initiatives in addressing historical trauma and advancing Indigenous health and wellness.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
