Economic frameworks treat cultural values as sites or places where ‘cultural activities’ take place. A cultural flow is then a discretionary allocation of water to ‘water’ those sites, in the same way that water is delivered to irrigators to water their crops. This water allocation framework, in which environmental, irrigation or cultural values are traded off in a zero-sum game, is grounded in economic and legal frameworks that treat spiritual, environmental, economic and social values as separate and unconnected value domains. In contrast, within Aboriginal ontology each value domain is inherently connected, and cannot be traded off against the others. Interpreting cultural beliefs as akin to a recreational activity ignores the relationship between cultural belief and Aboriginal economic and social organisation. We use a case study of the Narran Lakes area of NSW to explore the relationship between cultural beliefs and the way in which Country was managed under cultural law. Understanding this relationship is important in the economic analysis of cultural flows.}, number = {1}, urldate = {2023-05-09}, journal = {Australasian Journal of Water Resources}, author = {Davies, Siobhan and Wilson, Jason and Ridges, Malcolm}, month = jan, year = {2021}, note = {Publisher: Taylor \& Francis \_eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/13241583.2020.1795339}, keywords = {Urban planning}, pages = {15--26}, } @article{mckemey_coproducing_2021, title = {Co‐producing a fire and seasons calendar to support renewed {Indigenous} cultural fire management}, volume = {46}, issn = {1442-9985}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aec.13034}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1111/aec.13034}, number = {7}, journal = {Austral Ecology}, author = {McKemey, Michelle B and {Banbai Rangers} and Ens, Emilie J and Hunter, John T and Ridges, Malcolm and Costello, Oliver and Reid, Nick CH}, year = {2021}, note = {Publisher: Wiley Online Library}, keywords = {Landscape architecture, Urban planning}, pages = {1011--1029}, } @article{mckemey_cross-cultural_2019, title = {Cross-{Cultural} {Monitoring} of a {Cultural} {Keystone} {Species} {Informs} {Revival} of {Indigenous} {Burning} of {Country} in {South}-{Eastern} {Australia}}, volume = {47}, copyright = {E8: Baanbay}, issn = {1572-9915}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s10745-019-00120-9}, doi = {10.1007/s10745-019-00120-9}, abstract = {Globally, Indigenous cultural burning has been practiced for millennia, although colonization limited Indigenous people’s ability to access and manage their ancestral lands. Recently, recognition of Indigenous fire management has been increasing, leading to the re-emergence of cultural burning in Australia, the Americas, parts of Asia and Africa. We describe how the Banbai people of south-eastern Australia have reintroduced cultural burning at Wattleridge Indigenous Protected Area. Our team of Banbai Rangers and non-Indigenous scientists conducted cross-cultural research to investigate the impact of burning on a cultural keystone species, the Short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus). Our comparison of the effects of a low-intensity, patchy, cultural fire in the Wattleridge Indigenous Protected Area to a nearby higher intensity fire in Warra National Park through a Before-After-Control-Impact assessment indicated that the higher intensity fire reduced echidna foraging activity, possibly to avoid predation. Most importantly, we describe a cross-cultural research model whereby Indigenous rangers and non-Indigenous scientists work together to inform adaptive natural and cultural resource management. Such trans-disciplinary and collaborative research strengthens informed conservation decision-making and the social-ecological resilience of communities.}, language = {Banbai, E8: Baanbay}, number = {6}, urldate = {2020-10-30}, journal = {Human Ecology}, author = {McKemey, Michelle B. and Patterson, Maureen (Lesley) and {Banbai Rangers} and Ens, Emilie J. and Reid, Nick C.
