Sinopsis

This open access book crosses disciplinary boundaries to connect theories of environmental justice with Indigenous peopleâÇÖs experiences of freshwater management and governance. It traces the history of one freshwater crisis - the degradation of Aotearoa New ZealandâÇÖs WaipÄü River- to the settler-colonial acts of ecological dispossession resulting in intergenerational injustices for Indigenous MÄüori 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 MÄüori and their ancestral landscapes and waterscapes. Importantly, this book demonstrates how degraded freshwater systems can and are being addressed by MÄüori 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 WaipÄü River, highlight how MÄüori are envisioning and enacting more sustainable freshwater management and governance, thus seeking to achieve Indigenous environmental justice (IEJ).áThe 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.á
