Indigenous peoples and transformations in freshwater governance and management
2020
Parsons, Meg | Fisher, Karen
In this paper, we consider how Indigenous peoples are contesting freshwater management regimes based on Western ontologies and epistemologies, and are seeking recognition for the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge, practices, and authority over freshwater. We focus on the potential of new governance arrangements emerging around the globe to contribute to broader societal deliberations about, and transformations in human-environmental relationships. In particular, we draw attention to research exploring and interrogating matters of equity and inclusion central to sustainability and how Aotearoa New Zealand Māori are seeking to enact their values and aspirations for sustainable freshwater futures underpinned by a relational ontology that connects humans to other humans and nonhumans across time and space.
