Making Waves: the power of indigenous water beings in contemporary debates
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in New Zealand and Australia, and on a wider comparative study of water deities, this paper explores how such beings are resurfacing in the political arena. Representing non-human agency, and promoting the beliefs, values and interests of indigenous communities, ‘traditional’ water beings are gaining a centrally important role in conflicts over water ownership and governance.
