You need a lead section that provides a summary of what your article is going to talk about.

''“Indigenous Statistics refer to a quantitative research method specific to Indigenous people. It can be better understood as an Indigenous quantitative methodology. Indigenous quantitative methodology are methodologies, practices, processes and research are all done through an Indigenous lens.”''

It would be better if you could provide a brief definition of Indigenous Statistics. You could give a definition of Indigenous quantitative methodology to further explain its relation to Indigenous statistics. You could give some examples of Indigenous methodology, practices and processes.

You could also provide definitions for Indigenous and Statistics.

''“Indigenous Statistics is the first book ever to be published on quantitative Indigenous methodologies. It was written by authors, Maggie Walter and Chris Andersen. It was published on September 15, 2013, by Routledge Taylor & Francis Group.”''

For a Wikipedia article, it would be great if you could write about what the authors are talking about Indigenous Statistics. Such as, their definition for Indigenous statistics and mention the examples they have used to define Indigenous Statistics. This is to represent and provide a summary of the available literature on the subject in your article. Your article needs to reflect the content of your source. The book is a good start and source. However, you need at least 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of your chosen subject.

“This book offers a new lens in researching Indigenous Statistics, by critiquing the ways in which quantitative data have framed Indigenous people, and offers new forms of quantitative data to better represent the Indigenous populations.”

You could talk about the new lens. You can mention the critiques and ways in which quantitative data have framed Indigenous people.

''“The authors focus this book on three main topics. It first investigates the Cultural framework of Indigenous Statistics. Second, methodologies not methods produce Indigenous Statistics. Lastly, how academic research is a situated activity.”''

It is good you mention the three main topics. It would make your article informative, if you could elaborate on the three topics. It is also a little bit unclear if your article is about the book ‘Indigenous Statistics: A Quantitative Research methodology’ or just the concept ‘Indigenous Statistics’. For the concept, you can provide a brief summary on Indigenous Statistics from your chosen book.

You have put the three main topics as section headings. The content is not added for the second and third topic yet, but it will be well-organized and easy to read if you elaborate on the topics. You also can include brief description of these three main topics in the lead.

"Cultural Frame Work Of Indigenous Statistics[edit]
''The cultural framework of Indigenous statistics plays a key role in framing the reality for most Indigenous people and peoples in modern society. According to Walter and Andersen, methodologies guide the collection, interpretation and analysis of data, and these are a reflection of the dominant nation-state operating these statistics,"''

This tells us the role of Cultural Framework, but it exactly does not tell us what it is. Is it a methodology to collect data of the Indigenous population? The second sentence is incomplete as there is a comma after the word ‘statistics’. Which methodologies guide the collection of data?

Your article can be improved if you give a clearer, and more concise definition for Indigenous Statistics. I would recommend looking for more scholarly sources about your topic at MacOdrum library and then write what you understand from the sources in your own words. Overall, it is a good start.
