“…6,9,[12][13][14][15] We pay our gratitude to the strong and innovative Indigenous scholars who continue to provide the revolutionary leadership necessary for the disruption of colonial re-search practices and the emergence of decolonising methodologies. Within this article, we understand decolonising methodologies as those that, 'work toward disassembling (especially White) settler supremacy by de-centering and dismantling colonial institutions, modalities, systems, structures, and ways of knowing and being that continue to dispossess Indigenous peoples of their lands, families, homes, languages, and rights', 16 and as processes that 'center politics of Indigenous identity and Indigenous cultural action'. 9 We also work from the assumption that all strategies presented herein, and indeed any decolonial re-search pursuit, is grounded in self-determination 17 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and prioritizes Indigenous data sovereignty.…”

ObjectivesArguably, the deficit narrative of oral health inequities, perpetuated by colonial re‐search agendas, media and sociopolitical discourse, contributes to oral disease burden and fatalism among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. There remains a need to evolve the way oral health is understood, in a manner that reflects the lived experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.MethodsThis paper proposes decolonising methodologies as a strategy to ensure oral health re‐search creates more equitable oral health outcomes and realities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities. Anchored by a critical reflection of the failure of dominant oral health inequity re‐search practices to address Indigenous oral health, both in Australia and internationally, we propose five explicit pathways for decolonising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander oral health re‐search.ResultsWe argue the need for (1) positionality statements in all re‐search endeavours, (2) studies that honour reciprocal relationships through the development of proposals that ask questions and follow models based on Traditional Knowledges, (3) the development of culturally secure and strengths‐based data capturing tools, (4) frameworks that address the intersection of multiple axes of oppression in creating inequitable conditions and (5) decolonising knowledge translation techniques.ConclusionImportantly, we recognize that re‐search will never be entirely ‘decolonised’ due to the colonial foundations upheld by academic institutions and society more broadly; however, as oral health re‐searchers, we ascertain that there is an ethical compulsion to drive decolonising re‐search pursuits that produce equitable oral health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities.

In a world riven by conflict, violent extremism and sectarian animosities, peace is in short supply. Promoting peace is, however, central to the great traditions of faith, including Islam. Contrary to their core precepts, fear, hatred and envy drive an evil mis-construal of the core tenets of these religions; the antithesis of their fundamental commitment to the promotion of tolerance, care and compassion. Contemporary events defy comprehension and highlight the urgent need to find ways, especially within families and the communities in which they live, to counter radicalisation. Families, after all, ought to be key contexts for promoting dialogue, understanding and peace, consistent with the precepts of the Abrahamic religious traditions, and the Qur’anic focus on families that sees them as the forum for fulfilling the basic Islamic foundations of peace. Strong families build capable, caring and compassionate communities. The present paper briefly outlines a three-element model that might be usefully applied to better understand the processes of development of prosocial attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that are so vital for peaceful, constructive and compassionate co-existence; attributes that are so vitally needed in an increasingly multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-faith world. The elements are encapsulated in three conceptually linked acronyms: TRUST; LEARN; CARE or TLC. The trust, learn, care (TLC) framework has been developed from key principles in the new discipline of family studies. Global changes present many challenges for families and communities. This article concludes that a peaceful and harmonious future will be built on the foundations for dialogue and understanding that start in families and communities. Trust and tolerance, learning and teaching, caring and compassion are at the heart of acceptance of diversity, growth of understanding and promotion of respect for cultures, religions and beliefs.

“…For these reasons, it is imperative to decolonize and Indigenize quantitative research methods and ensure that Indigenous Peoples are determining these methods for themselves. Though decolonization originally referred to a devolution of empire and the granting of independence to colonial countries throughout the 1930s through the 1970s ( Betts, 2012 ), for the purposes of this paper, we are defining decolonization as “work toward disassembling (especially White) settler supremacy by de-centering and dismantling colonial institutions, modalities, systems, structures, and ways of knowing and being that continue to dispossess Indigenous peoples of their lands, families, homes, languages, and rights” ( de Leeuw & Greenwood, 2017 ). Similarly, Indigenization has its roots in the postcolonial context of third-worldism ( Yunong & Xiong, 2008 ) and can be defined in multiple ways, but we are defining it as a process that “centers a politics of indigenous identity and indigenous cultural action,” and “privileges indigenous voices” ( Tuhiwai Smith, 2012 , p. 245).…”

Addressing the need for indigenous and decolonized quantitative research methods in Canada

Though qualitative methods are often an appropriate Indigenous methodology and have dominated the literature on Indigenous research methods, they are not the only methods available for health research. There is a need for decolonizing and Indigenizing quantitative research methods, particularly in the discipline of epidemiology, to better address the public health needs of Indigenous populations who continue to face health inequities because of colonial systems, as well as inaccurate and incomplete data collection about themselves. For the last two decades, researchers in colonized countries have been calling for a specifically Indigenous approach to epidemiology that recognizes the limits of Western epidemiological methods, incorporates more Indigenous research methodologies and community-based participatory research methods, builds capacity by training more Indigenous epidemiologists, and supports Indigenous self-determination. Indigenous epidemiology can include a variety of approaches, including: shifting standards, such as age standardization, according to Indigenous populations to give appropriate weight to their experiences; carefully setting recruitment targets and using appropriate recruitment methods to fulfill statistical standards for stratification; acting as a bridge between Indigenous and Western technoscientific perspectives; developing culturally appropriate data collection tools; and developing distinct epidemiological methods based on Indigenous knowledge systems. This paper explores how decolonization and Indigenization of epidemiology has been operationalized in recent Canadian studies and projects, including the First Nations Regional Longitudinal Health Survey and how this decolonization and Indigenization might be augmented with the capacity-building of the future Our Health Counts Applied Indigenous Epidemiology, Health Information, and Health Services and Program Evaluation Training and Mentorship Program in Canada.
