Advancing Indigenous health

Introduction: Welcoe to this issue of the Health Promotion Journal of Australia, which focuses on Indigenous health promotion. More than a year ago, the Journal editors issued an invitation for authors to submit papers on any aspect of health promotion relating to Indigenous peoples; this issue is the result. The Editors' role in the process of reviewing, requesting revisions and the always difficult decision to reject a paper (given the work involved in preparing a manuscript) was assisted by the contributions of two Indigenous colleagues, Dr Lisa Jackson Pulver (University of New South Wales) and Mr Shane Hearn (University of Sydney).
