The data says that indigenous people are disproportionately affected by COVID. That's what matters most.
No it doesn't, because people will fall through the cracks. It's just lazy social science ignoring all sorts of other variables. Correlation doesn't equal causation. Do you think Jody Wilson-Raybould should get priority over somebody else of another race living in poverty in an densely populated community? She's wealthy, she doesn't need it. It's nonsense. It has nothing to do with race.
If there's a specific community of indigenous people shown to vulnerable to COVID then yes prioritize them. And then prioritize within that community based on the other variables such as age, health status, occupation etc. This needs to be data driven. Vaccinating indigenous children over middle-aged people of other races might not be the wisest move. It depends on the data and science, not virtue.
