Country,

native title and ecology all converge in this volume to describe the dynamic

intercultural context of land and water management on Indigenous lands.

Indigenous people’s relationships with country are discussed from various

speaking positions, including identity and knowledge, the homelands debate,

water planning, climate change and market environmentalism.

The inter-disciplinary chapters range from an ethnographic description of

living waters in the Great Sandy Desert, negotiating the eradication of

yellow crazy ants in Arnhem Land, and legal analysis of native title rights

in emerging carbon markets. A recurrent theme is the contentions over

meaning, knowledge, and authority.

“Because this volume is scholarly, original and very timely it represents a

key resource and reference work for land and sea managers; policy makers;

scholars of the interface between post-native title responsibilities, NRM

objectives and appropriate heritage protocols; and students based in the

social sciences, natural sciences and humanities. It is rare for volumes to

have this much cross-academy purchase and for this reason alone – it will

have ongoing worth and value as a seminal collection.”

– Associate Professor Peter Veth, ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences,

The Australian National University.
