Abstract
Racism impedes the achievement of equity in healthcare by permeating individual, community, societal and institutional levels. Cancer is the leading contributor to global mortality and continues to have a disproportionately higher impact on First Nations Peoples. Research specific to First Nations Peoples, conducted in accordance with the principles of Indigenous research, is critical to justify the advocacy and delivery of measures that yield relevant, translatable outcomes and benefits. The following article presents a case study of a longitudinal cohort project assessing human papillomavirus-associated oral cancer in First Nations Peoples of South Australia. The article discusses decolonising methodologies, their application and relevance.
