Abstract

The CIRNAC evolved as a viable vehicle to address cancer with, for, and by indigenous peoples. The network is guided by a preamble, a set of aims, and an inclusion engagement circle model. It is evolving through major world initiatives, with the aim of formally becoming an internationally linked national network.
