Since 1990, the number of published research regarding the health Indigenous people has increased exponentially (1). During this time, the health of Indigenous communities has continued to decline (2), and translation of this research has not been disseminated to people at the grassroots. This is largely due to research being performed by non-Indigenous researchers applying western methodology that is not responsive to cultural differences (1). The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of Indigenous data sovereignty to the ANZSVS. Also to highlight Indigenous research frameworks that can be used to improve how research involving Indigenous populations (3) Reference List 1.
