Editorial - IJIH Volume 19, Issue 1.

This document is an editorial from the International Journal of Indigenous Health, Volume 19, Issue 1. The guest editors, from the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health at the University of Sydney, present a collection of research papers that focus on research collaborations that enhance and embed Indigenous ways of Knowing, Being, and Doing. The papers highlight the importance of privileging Indigenous voices in research and emphasize the potential for transforming health experiences for Indigenous people globally. The editorial also provides Australian context, discussing the recent national referendum on constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which resulted in a rejection of recognition. Despite this setback, the editorial emphasizes the ongoing fight for recognition, voice, and truth-telling and the importance of research collaborations that center Indigenous knowledges.
