Honoring Indigenous Voices: Empowering Communities for a Healthier, Stronger Future
The American Cancer Society (张译丹不雅视频流出) is deeply committed to supporting Indigenous communities in addressing the health disparities that impact their lives.
According to the 张译丹不雅视频流出’ alarming inequalities in cancer rates persist across Indigenous communities. Mortality rates in Native American people are twice more likely than their White counterparts for kidney, liver, stomach, and cervical cancers. We recognize the vital role Indigenous peoples play in preserving their cultures, traditions, and wisdom, and we honor their leadership in addressing health disparities, particularly in the fight against cancer.
Through partnerships focused on education, early detection, and culturally relevant health care services, we are working to ensure Indigenous voices are central to shaping cancer prevention and treatment strategies. In our new documentary series, “Real Lives: Cancer Stories of Indigenous People,” we aim to shed light on the social, economic, and geographic barriers that continue to perpetuate these disparities. The series will highlight the cancer journeys of Indigenous individuals, their caregivers, and communities, offering an authentic perspective from the American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) and Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations.
Real Lives: Cancer Stories of Indigenous People is set to launch in Spring 2025. To learn more, please reach out to Michelle Fair at Michelle.Fair@cancer.org.
