Objective: This paper argues for the enhancement of scoping review methods to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing for more effective understandings of evidence of importance to Indigenous populations.
Methods: Scoping review methodology typically aims to understand existing evidence and support translation of evidence into practice. Levac and colleagues (2010) scoping review methodology stages: 1) Identify the research question; 2) Identify relevant studies; 3) Study selection; 4) Charting the data; 5) Collating, summarising, and reporting results; and 6) Consultation were considered from the perspective of Indigenous knowledges and adapted accordingly.

Despite significant improvements in pediatric cancer survival outcomes, there remain glaring disparities in under-represented racial and ethnic groups that warrant mitigation by the scientific and clinical community. To address and work towards eliminating such disparities, the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) and Children's Brain Tumor Network (CBTN) established a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) working group in 2020. The DEI working group is dedicated to improving access to care for all pediatric patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors, broadening diversity within the research community, and providing sustainable data-driven solutions.

Article Synopsis
- Indigenous peoples in wealthy countries face higher rates of Type 2 Diabetes due to socioeconomic challenges and healthcare access issues.
- This systematic review focuses on effective primary care management strategies for Indigenous adults with Type 2 Diabetes across Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the U.S., primarily measuring changes in glycated hemoglobin levels along with secondary outcomes like hospital admissions and treatment compliance.
- Seven studies were analyzed, revealing seven key components for successful interventions, including reducing healthcare barriers, involving community consultation, adapting to changing needs, utilizing community health workers, promoting Indigenous empowerment, and the effectiveness of short, group-based programs.
