Abstract
The exploitation and unethical use of Indigenous Peoples research data have long-standing historical foundations. For this to be recompensed the path forward calls for a profound commitment to ethical research practices and respect for Indigenous Peoples data sovereignty. The vast amount of health data collected through initiatives like Closing the Gap raises several important questions regarding data ownership, access, and usage. The Aboriginal authors of this paper are a part of a collective of millions of Indigenous Peoples voices worldwide and want research data returned to its rightful owners. This vital step needs to be taken to expediate Closing the Gap and acknowledge Indigenous Peoples data sovereignty and human rights.
