In Roebourne, a community-led data project is challenging who gets to define wellbeing. Yinjaa-Bandi woman Aralyn Lockyer explains how Indigenous data sovereignty, culturally grounded measures and local control could reshape advocacy for housing, services and self-determination in one of Australia's most disadvantaged communities.
Cameron Carr and Gabrielle Katanasho travelled to Roebourne with support from the Michael Gordon Fellowship, administered by the Melbourne Press Club.
