It traces the history of one freshwater crisis – the degradation of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Waipā River– to the settler-colonial acts of ecological dispossession resulting in intergenerational injustices for Indigenous Māori 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 Māori and their ancestral landscapes and waterscapes. Importantly, this book demonstrates how degraded freshwater systems can and are being addressed by Māori 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 Waipā River, highlight how Māori 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.Palgrave Studies in Natural Resource Management Central government policiesbicsscSociologybicsscPhysical geography & topographybicsscEnvironmental managementbicsscGeographybicsscThe environmentbicsscNew ZealandfastEnvironmental PolicySociology, generalEnvironmental GeographyEnvironmental ManagementGeography, generalEnvironment, generalEnvironmental Social SciencesEnvironmental StudiesIntegrated GeographyEnvironmental SciencesApplied Ecologyfreshwater policiesfreshwater systemsnature/cultureindigenous land managementAotearoaland rightssocial memoriesriver governanceDecolonisationenvironmental justiceWaipā Riverdegraded freshwater systemsenvironmental guardianshipIndigenous environmental justiceopen accessCentral / national / federal government policiesSociologyDevelopment & environmental geographyEnvironmental management,GeographyThe environmentCentral government policiesSociologyPhysical geography & topographyEnvironmental managementGeographyThe environment363.700993363.700993Parsons Meg1022630Fisher Karen1022631Crease Roa Petra1022632MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910473459103321Decolonising Blue Spaces in the Anthropocene2429194UNINA
