Reconciliation or reputation
Reconciliation action plans (RAPs) are increasingly used by commercial organizations in Australia to demonstrate commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Framed as tools to promote understanding and address historical injustice, these documents also serve organizational interests, particularly in reputation management and corporate social responsibility (CSR). This research critically examined the structure, practices, portfol…

Activating Indigenous ways’ – perceptions of how Australian Indigenous health and wellbeing program evaluations are commissioned and future recommendations
To improve the quality of evaluations further attention needs to be paid to the commissioner's cultural capability. Additionally, Commissioners need to develop their understanding of the relationship between Commissioner and Indigenous people's power and the utility of evaluations
The relative validity of the updated Menzies Remote Short-Item Dietary Assessment Tool (MRSDAT) for use with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and adults
Updates to the MRSDAT have resulted in dietary quality index scores highly comparable to those derived from 24-h recalls. The MRSDAT has the practical advantages of speed and convenience for research purposes, and the built-in instant dietary feedback feature has application to service delivery settings given the robust results demonstrated in this validation study

Evaluating Ngaramura
Ngaramura is an innovative, Aboriginal-designed, strengths-based education program for Aboriginal young people. This unique program addresses the complex and seemingly entrenched issues of disengagement and disproportionate suspension of Aboriginal students from high schools, tackling challenges faced by students in mainstream school environments that fail to meet their needs. Derived from the Dharawal word meaning ‘see the way’, Ngaramura provid…
Country under Concrete
WARNING: Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this article contains reference to people who have passed away, and content that may cause sadness and distress. Dr Bob Morgan writes ‘my culture and worldview is centred in Gumilaroi land and its people, it is who I am and will always be. I am my country’ (Morgan 202). Morgan and other Indigenous Australian scholars (see Moreton-Robinson, The White Possessive; Dodson;…
The importance of Indigenous centres/units for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students
Indigenous student completion rates remain very low relative to non-Indigenous students. Some universities have higher Indigenous student completion rates than the national average but research-based evidence of these universities as ‘success models' is limited. Drawing on findings from interviews with Indigenous university graduates and staff as part of a National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) funded research project, th…
Seeing Jigamy; using an arts-based method to explore the meaning of place for an aboriginal community controlled organisation on the South Coast of NSW
The relationship between health and place is often difficult to articulate. This paper explores the use of community mapping to understand the meaning of place for members of an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation on the South Coast of NSW. The paper demonstrates that engagement in this arts-based method allows people to think deeply about place to construct a multilayered visual narrative which encompasses history, current experience, a…
Pathways between foodways and wellbeing for First Nations Australians
Five pathways through which wellbeing is supported via foodways for First Nations peoples were identified as: connecting with others through food; accessing traditional foods; experiencing joy in making and sharing food; sharing information about food and nutrition; and strategies for improving food security. These findings offer constructive, nationally relevant evidence to guide and inform health and nutrition programs and services to harness t…

Indigenous voices
This research reports on Indigenous cultural knowledge holders' opportunities and challenges in using their cultural knowledge to develop authentic tourism experiences. The research investigated issues related to sourcing, storing, managing, and authorising local cultural knowledge to create authentic tourism experiences. The key finding is that while Aboriginal parties are interested in using cultural knowledge to develop tourism products, pathw…
Shifting sands
Place and health are deeply interconnected for Indigenous people, and place-based services have been established to better meet people's needs. The meaning of place, however, remains difficult to define, an issue compounded by non-Indigenous settler attempts to erase people's association with place. This paper argues that we must understand place as something more than a geographical locality, and consider the histories, experiences and feelings …
Responding to Covid‐19
In this paper, we discuss a rapid‐fire study involving Indigenous and non‐Indigenous stakeholders from the urban Indigenous health sector who collaborated to produce an “Urban COVID‐19 Systems Map.” The map outlines the behaviours, actions and responses that stakeholders identified as mitigating or exacerbating COVID‐19 risks in urban Indigenous communities. Data were collected and analysed during the height of the pandemic in 2021. We begin by i…
Introduction
Indigenous education is multidimensional and multifaceted. When the term "Indigenous education" is used, it could reference schooling practices, including embedding Indigenous knowledge and perspectives in the curriculum; connecting with Indigenous communities; supporting Indigenous students; employing Indigenous staff; and more (Shay et al., 2023). The enactment or inaction of these activities is underpinned by ideological dissonance between Wes…
Indigenous Voice as Self-Determination
In October 2020, the Indigenous Voice Co-Design Process Interim Report to the Australian Government was released. Co-chairs of the senior advisory group overseeing the process, Professor Marcia Langton and Professor Tom Calma, described the Indigenous Voice as a “pragmatic, natural step for our country, as we work towards creating a better shared future for all Australians”. This chapter envisions how such a shared future may look. Drawing on lit…
The Edge of the Tide
This chapter is an autoethnographic reflection on our experiences as Indigenous academics around the complexities of who and what is ‘Aboriginal&s; in Australia and how might this change in the future. We draw on our experiences as four Indigenous researchers working in a university context independently for many decades and reflect on our witnessing changing and shifting understandings of Aboriginal identities and cultures. Drawing on images of …
Many Bodies, One Heart
Introduction The Uluru Statement from the Heart (2017) offers an opportunity for the nation to cement the foundation for prosperous Indigenous futures and meaningful reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. In this article, we discuss the theme of uniformity in relation to the “From the Heart” campaign which seeks to enact the Uluru Statement by establishing a constitutionally enshrined First Nations’ Voice to Parliament via …
A monumental challenge
signalled the 250th anniversary of Captain James Cook's 1770 voyage along the east coast of Australia, an event often framed in the national imagination as one seminal to Australia's modern heritage.In the same year, we witnessed growing protests about "Black Lives Matter" and saw large numbers of the public take to the streets and online forums to question Australia's colonial heritage and scrutinize if and how it should be celebrated.In this pa…
Indigenous recognition and constitutional reform in Australia
Communities Setting the Direction for Their Right to Nutritious, Affordable Food
Despite long histories of traditional food security, Indigenous peoples globally are disproportionately exposed to food insecurity. Addressing this imbalance must be a partnership led by Indigenous peoples in accordance with the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We report the co-design process and resulting design of a food security research project in remote Australia and examine how the co-design process considered Indigenous …
A scoping review of commissioning practices used in the evaluation of Indigenous health and wellbeing programs
Despite the billions of dollars invested in improving Indigenous health and wellbeing outcomes in Australia, there is little evidence of program effectiveness to inform policy and practice. The deficiency of evaluations is problematic. Critical to this process is the effective engagement of commissioners with Indigenous peoples, which is not well documented. Currently, there is scant evidence on modes of commissioning practices used. This scoping…
Conceptualisation, experiences and suggestions for improvement of food security amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents and carers in remote Australian communities
This study aimed to determine perceptions of the lived experience of food insecurity and suggestions to improve food security in four remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, and Queensland. Participants were Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander pregnant and breastfeeding women, and parents/carers of children aged six months to five years. Semi-structured interviews (n=17) were conducted between June-July 2021 and the data the…
Burden of the Beast
Introduction Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and its fluctuating waves of infections and the emergence of new variants, Indigenous populations in Australia and worldwide have remained at high risk. Indigenous populations are all too familiar with the deadly consequences of introduced disease. Outbreaks such as the H1N1 influenza epidemic in 2009 disproportionately impacted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (Komesaroff et al.; Eades …
Researching With Aboriginal Women as an Aboriginal Woman Researcher
Tewa man Gregory Cajete describes the concept of Pathway as it relates to Indigenous learning and education: The concept of Pathway, revealed in numerous ways in Indigenous education, is associated with mountains, winds, and orientation. Learning involves a transformation that unfolds through time and space. Pathway, a structural metaphor, combines with the process of journeying to form an active context for learning about spirit. Pathway is an a…
What health services within rural communities tell us about Aboriginal people and Aboriginal health
There is a growing body of literature within social and cultural geography that explores notions of place, space, culture, race and identity. When health services in rural communities are explored using these notions, it can lead to multiple ways of understanding the cultural meanings inscribed within health services and how they can be embedded with an array of politics. For example, health services can often reflect the symbolic place that each…
Disrupting the colonial algorithm
Indigenous voices and outlooks are often overlooked within public discourses in Australia and throughout the world. Settler-colonialism has resulted in centuries of dispossession, manifesting in the denial of Indigenous citizenship, autonomy and sovereignty. Throughout this article we discuss how Indigenous people are increasingly turning to social media to illuminate how colonialism continues to oppress Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peop…
The Need to Extend Beyond the Knowledge Gained in Cross-Cultural Awareness Training
In the Health sector, Cross-Cultural Awareness Training has been seen as a way to improve knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to therefore improve service delivery and therapeutic care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Health personnel may have undertaken this type of training in their workplace or as part of their education in an undergraduate degree program. Other sectors additionally under…
Look Before You Leap
This paper demonstrates how Indigenous studies is controlled in some Australian universities in ways that continue the marginalisation, denigration and exploitation of Indigenous peoples. Moreover, it shows how the engagement of white notions of "inclusion" can result in the maintenance of racism, systemic marginalisation, white race privilege and radicalised subjectivity. A case study will be utilised which draws from the experience of two Indig…
Utilising the Concept of Pathway as a Framework for Indigenous Research
Drawing on Gregory Cajete's (1994, p. 55) explanation of "Pathway" (Path denoting structure, Way implying a process), a research framework was developed exploring Aboriginal women's perceptions and experiences of health and health services. Developing the research methodology was like laying out the Path, as a well thought out structure or the plan for the research. It relates as an external landscape, not just in terms of the Path itself, but al…

Getting A Job
Indigenous participation in employment has long been seen as an indicator of Indigenous economic participation in Australia. Researchers have linked participation in employment to improved health outcomes, increased education levels and greater self-esteem. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of Indigenous workforce policies and employment strategies as employers and industries attempt to employ more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Isla…
Which way that Empowerment? Aboriginal Women's Narratives of Empowerment
Empowerment' is a complex concept that draws on educational, psychological, social learning, social-structures and socio-ecological theories from a range of disciplines. It has multiple applications and its approaches can be used to highlight and address power relations, social exclusion, marginalisation and inequity. Despite this, the word empowerment is often misunderstood and in Australia its use is often framed from within the dominant cultur…

There is Nothing that Identifies me to that Place
Indigenous women are more likely to suffer from poor health than non-Indigenous women, usually with one long term condition or several chronic diseases at once. High psychological distress, asthma, eye problems, diabetes and heart disease are common and we are ten times more likely than non-Indigenous women to have kidney disease. Our life expectancy is sixty-three years compared to non-Indigenous women's mortality rate of eighty-three years. The…

Reempowering Ourselves
The arrival of the colonists, the invasion of Aboriginal lands, and the subsequent colonization of Australia had disastrous effects on Aboriginal women, including ongoing dispossession and disempowerment. Aboriginal women’s lives and gendered realities were forever changed in most communities. The system of colonization in Australia deprived Aboriginal women of land and personal autonomy and restricted the economic, political, social, spiritual, …

“We eat more than kangaroo tail or dugong you know…”
Introduction In the past five years, a number of cookbooks have been published by Indigenous Australian groups in association with government departments and non-profit organisations. These cookbooks typically involve community and public health nutritionists, dieticians, and health workers working with local communities to produce cookbooks that will improve the health status of Indigenous Australians. These cookbooks are one strategy in broader…
Yarning” as a Method for Community-Based Health Research With Indigenous Women
This project explores yarning as a methodology for understanding health and wellness from an indigenous woman's perspective. Previous research exploring indigenous Australian women's perspectives have used traditional Western methodologies and have often been felt by the women themselves to be inappropriate and ineffective in gathering information and promoting discussion. This research arose from the indigenous women themselves, and resulted in …

Deadly Choices empowering Indigenous Australians through social networking sites
The potential for health promotion through social networking sites (SNSs) is widely recognized. However, while health promotion prides itself in focusing on the social determinants of health, its partiality for persuading individuals to comply with health behaviours dominates the way health promotion utilizes SNSs. This paper contributes to an understanding of collaborative ways SNSs can work for health promotion agendas of self-determination and…
Situating Race in Cultural Competency Training
Indigenous cross-cultural training has been around since the 1980s. It is often seen as a way to increase the skills and competency of staff engaged in providing service to Indigenous clients and customers, teaching Indigenous students within universities and schools, or working with Indigenous communities (Fredericks and Bargallie, “Indigenous”; “Which Way”). In this article we demonstrate how such training often exposes power, whiteness, and co…
Collaborative Creative Processes That Challenge Us as "Anomaly", and Affirm Our Indigeneity and Enact Our Sovereignty
IntroductionAustralian universities are built on land that was deemed terra nullius at the time of British settlement. Terra nullius translates to a land unoccupied or uninhabited and, in the face of the clear presence of Aboriginal peoples living on the land, established the false pretence for British colonisation and settlement. Moreton-Robinson explains that British settlement became a project in which a foreign “unoccupied” land was claimed a…
