| Abstract: | The MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) term for ‘Oceanic Ancestry Group’, which ‘Aboriginal Australians’ and a host of other Australian Indigenous terms is mapped to, was changed to ‘Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander’ in the 2022 MeSH update. This lightning talk will document how raising an issue and demanding better of those who make decisions on our behalf, can impact change globally and give voice to those who need it most. Central to this is the importance of combining subject, technical and Indigenous expertise to enact such change. |
