This open access book crosses disciplinary boundaries to connect
theories of environmental justice with Indigenous people's
experiences of freshwater management and governance. It traces the
history of one freshwater crisis - the degradation of Aotearoa New
Zealand's Waipa River- to the settler-colonial acts of ecological
dispossession resulting in intergenerational injustices for
Indigenous Maori iwi (tribes). The authors draw on a rich empirical
base to document the negative consequences of imposing Western
knowledge, worldviews, laws, governance and management approaches
onto Maori and their ancestral landscapes and waterscapes.
Importantly, this book demonstrates how degraded freshwater systems
can and are being addressed by Maori seeking to reassert their
knowledge, authority, and practices of kaitiakitanga (environmental
guardianship). Co-governance and co-management agreements between
iwi and the New Zealand Government, over the Waipa River, highlight
how Maori are envisioning and enacting more sustainable freshwater
management and governance, thus seeking to achieve Indigenous
environmental justice (IEJ). The book provides an accessible way
for readers coming from a diversity of different backgrounds, be
they academics, students, practitioners or decision-makers, to
develop an understanding of IEJ and its applicability to freshwater
management and governance in the context of changing
socio-economic, political, and environmental conditions that
characterise the Anthropocene.
