Abstract

[Extract] The Zenadh Health Science Research and Education Council (the Council) will be formalised as a culturally grounded physical infrastructure and holds endorsement from the tribal Elders. Hughes, the Council's inaugural co-chair, holds the Zenadh cultural paradigm as Koike of medicine of the Wagadagam tribe of Mabuyag Island and has leadership and experience of biomedical evidence-based sciences. The Council's vision was outlined to the former Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef and Minister for Science and Youth Affairs in Waiben (Kaurareg nation, 5 September 2022),1 and marked, at a ministerial level, the policy unification of Zenadh (Torres Strait) culture, leading Zenadh and Eurocentric sciences together.
