270
result is due to a higher level of poverty and material deprivation that exacerbates income and other inequalities rooted in racial discrimination, which is especially relevant as most recent immigrants are people of colour

285
the risk of limiting the understanding of lived experience as mere points of data, perpetuating the risks of being used for quotas or tokenism or to advance racist scientific ideas that falsely equate race with genetic variation.
Demands for equity data are always at risk of being reduced to statistics connected to ideas about impartiality or objectivity about race, which undermine our appreciations of race, racism and racialization as socially, historically, and politically constituted
286
The viral aspects of inequity data persist with a similar gait and might benefit from an integration of knowledge that appreciates complexities and the risks to life associated with prevailing inequity.
-pertain not only to the biological or natural, but also to the viral discourse of social media where misinformation is propagated and based on erasure, omission, and narratives used to rationalize the injustice of victims.

a community-based participatory research (CBPR) methodology through an Indigenous research lens. CBPR is a collaboration between researchers and community participants through sharing knowledge and relevant lived experiences to promote social change
which method was used in lines et. al.'s study with YKDFN youth?
291
Indigenous methodology is based on:
-relationality and is best carried out by an Indigenous researcher who carries forward these lifelong relationships
292
The YKDFN youth emphasized the importance of:
