ABSTRACT

Amid ongoing, contemporary colonialism, this chapter discusses the important of Indigenous perspectives on traditional land-water customs and practices in their sustainabilities. The purpose of this chapter is to find ways to protect land-water, encourage the sharing of traditional knowledge when appropriate, enhance community education and assist in land-water management and policy development. I conclude this chapter by advocating for Indigenous meanings of land-water due to its effectiveness in guiding policy-makers and researchers to develop robust governance for Indigenous knowledge integration in land-water management.
