Abstract

productive, and nutritional research with the Blackfeet Indian Nation in Montana. Projects to date have focused on lifestyle change and risk for chronic diseases in Black-feet women and the development of culturally competent dietary assessment instru-ments. Her career trajectory also has included the practice and teaching of biomedicine as a physician assistant. ABSTRACT: Native American traditional medicine is alive and vi-brant in many North American societies, although not all. These tra-ditions coexist with other forms of healing, and the particular pat-terns of existence, interaction, and meaning vary among groups. The literature examining these issues is likewise diverse. This article ex-plores, through a selective review of the recent literature, how social and behavioral scientists, among others, are focusing their investiga-tions of traditional and alternative medicine in Native American communities of the United States and Canada today. Issues include how native practices have persisted and changed, how they are being

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
