: Ethical approval was formally obtained through direct consultations over 30 years with the Tiwi Land Council, Tiwi Elders, and traditional owners of the Tiwi Islands. The Tiwi Islands are privately owned and follow a permission system that recognizes the importance and value of Aboriginal responsibility toward the country and is consistent with land titles held under Australian Law. This research study followed the principles outlined in the Helsinki Declaration, and all participants provided written informed consent to participate in the study. In addition, the Northern Territory Department of Health (2012–1767), QUT HREC (No. 2022-6199-10439-HE26), and ANU HREC (No. 2014-663) provided ethical approval for this study. Ethics for human participants were reviewed by the human research ethics committees of the Northern Territory Department of Health (2012–1767), the Australian National University (2014-663), the University of Queensland (2012001146), and the University of Tasmania (H0012832).
