However, many waterhole communities have been degraded by factors including invasion by large feral herbivores and non-native plants. We document the restoration of two waterholes near Santa Teresa (Ltyentye Apurte), with a focus on culturally significant plants. We described plant communities around waterholes in 2007, before fences were erected to exclude large feral animals, and again in 2018. Plant cover and diversity were higher after fencing and the occurrence of culturally significant plants greatly increased. However, invasive buffel grass was the dominant ground cover after fencing and will require active suppression to allow culturally significant native plants to proliferate. Traditional Owners identified excellent opportunities to achieve restoration through educating young people, with a focus on sharing intergenerational knowledge and engaging local Indigenous rangers in management, enabling them to meet the traditional obligations to care for country.}, number = {1}, urldate = {2022-12-12}, journal = {Australasian Journal of Water Resources}, author = {Caron, Valerie and Brim Box, Jayne and Dobson, Veronica P. and Dobson, Victor and Richmond, Luke and Thompson, Ross M. and Dyer, Fiona}, month = jan, year = {2021}, note = {Publisher: Taylor \& Francis \_eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/13241583.2021.1888854}, keywords = {Landscape architecture}, pages = {70--79}, } @article{moggridge_indigenous_2022, title = {Indigenous research methodologies in water management: learning from {Australia} and {New} {Zealand} for application on {Kamilaroi} country}, volume = {30}, issn = {0923-4861}, url = {https://www.proquest.com/scholarly-journals/indigenous-research-methodologies-water/docview/2703671079/se-2?accountid=12372}, doi = {10.1007/s11273-022-09866-4}, abstract = {Indigenous Research Methodologies (IRMs) for considering cultural values of water are a missing component of water and wetlands management in Australia. On this dry, flat and ancient continent Traditional Knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation for millennia. The profound knowledge of surface and groundwater has been critical to ensuring the survival of Indigenous peoples in the driest inhabited continent, through finding, re-finding and protecting water. Indigenous Research Methodologies can provide a basis for the exploration of this knowledge in a way that that is culturally appropriate, and which generates a culturally safe space for Indigenous researchers and communities. The development of IRMs has been and continues to be limited in Australia in the water context, primarily due to the lack of Indigenous water practitioners, with non-Indigenous researchers dominating the sector. The intention of the paper is to shift and decolonise the research paradigm from studying Indigenous peoples through non-Indigenous research methodologies, to partnering in developing methods appropriate to Indigenous knowledge systems. Indigenous Research Methodologies are rooted in Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies and represent a radical departure from more positivist forms of research (Wilson, Can J Native Educ 25:2, 2001). This allows the Indigenous researcher to derive the terms, questions, and priorities of what is being researched, how the community is engaged, and how the research is delivered. This paper provides an overview of Indigenous engagement in water management in Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand), with reference to case studies. These more general models are used as the basis for developing an IRM appropriate to the Kamilaroi people in the Gwydir Wetlands of northern NSW, Australia.}, language = {English}, number = {4}, journal = {Wetlands Ecology and Management}, author = {Moggridge, Bradley J. and Thompson, Ross M. and Radoll, Peter}, month = aug, year = {2022}, note = {Place: Dordrecht Publisher: Springer Nature B.V.}, keywords = {Aotearoa, Australia, Cultural values, Environmental Studies, Epistemology, Groundwater, Indigenous, Indigenous Peoples' knowledge, Indigenous knowledge, Indigenous peoples, Indigenous research methodologies, Kamilaroi, Knowledge representation, Māori, Native peoples, New Zealand, Research, Research methodology, Research methods, Survival, Traditional knowledge, Water, Water management, Water resource management, Wetland, Wetland management, Wetlands}, pages = {853--868}, } @article{moggridge_cultural_2021, title = {Cultural value of water and western water management: an {Australian} indigenous perspective}, volume = {25}, shorttitle = {Cultural value of water and western water management}, url = {https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13241583.2021.1897926}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1080/13241583.2021.1897926}, number = {1}, journal = {Australasian Journal of Water Resources}, author = {Moggridge, Bradley J. and Thompson, Ross M.}, year = {2021}, note = {ZSCC: 0000002 Publisher: Taylor \& Francis}, keywords = {Landscape architecture, Urban planning}, pages = {4--14}, }
