Abstract	As a guest editorial team, we are also members of our Indigenous communities. We share the lived experience of family and community, of marginalisation, intergenerational trauma, and the profound bereavement of deaths from preventable health conditions. Statistics tell a narrative of deficit, of inequitable determinants of health and disproportion in our Indigenous health status compared to the mainstream population. As Indigenous nurses and midwives, we are also members of an international body of health care professionals where we have seen and experienced racism in our respective national health care systems. We bring witness to its complicit role in enacting direct and indirect trauma upon Indigenous peoples and their communities from culturally unsafe, and negligent nursing and midwifery practices
