Water - Fluid Perceptions
Main Article Content
Abstract
There is no place in modern river management systems for the protection of Indigenous spiritual values. Indigenous people must continue to use the mechanisms at hand, but real impact on the commercial market in water and therefore river management will only occur when Indigenous people are water owners themselves.
The paper examines the development of Indigenous participation in the water economy and the potential for Indigenous people to influence river management decisions which may breath renewed spiritual life into a tired Rainbow Serpent.
