This thesis explores how coastal Indigenous Peoples’ health and wellbeing values are conceptualised and represented in connection to seafood and the significance for health and policy outcomes. Through the use of Indigenous research methodologies across three studies, it was revealed that seafood is interconnected to the Indigenous Knowledge Systems that incorporates social, cultural and ecological values that are linked to collectivist community health outcomes. It is imperative that coastal Indigenous communities with customary connections to seafood have their Indigenous values considered and represented in marine and fisheries policies to improve health outcomes and strengthen Indigenous self-determination.
