Nature’s rights as Indigenous rights? Mis/recognition through personhood for Te Urewera
In Aotearoa New Zealand, person rights for nature have been added to the suite of resolution mechanisms for Treaty of Waitangi claims. New laws for two national parks personify landscapes and Maori relations with them to encourage greater appreciation and care, and similar arrangements will follow for other parks. However, it is uncertain whether recognizing Indigenous rights by tying them to the rights of nature will be enforceable and effective…
Indigenous geographies III: Methodological innovation and the unsettling of participatory research
Working with Indigenous peoples has stretched geographers’ presumptions about appropriate modes of engagement and representation. Early feminist geography prompted methodological experimentation that exercised significant and lasting influence on the discipline. The politics of working with Indigenous peoples yields similarly significant insights about research leadership and methodological choices that are now recognized more widely. We juxtapos…
Indigenous geographies II: The aspirational spaces in postcolonial politics – reconciliation, belonging and social provision
Required to negotiate a transcultural present in which their rights and opportunities are circumscribed by the pleadings of multicultural others, Indigenous peoples have attracted attention for their approaches to alliance-building, responsible co-existence and self-determined care. In this second report on Indigenous geographies 1 , we associate those projects with the geographies of hope but, recognizing that a futuristic gaze on allegedly prog…

The Challenges of and from Indigenous Geographies
This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Indigeneity as a Relational Construct Storytelling as Transcultural Research Conclusion: Implications for Openly Transcultural Research References
Indigenous geographies I: Mere resource conflicts? The complexities in Indigenous land and environmental claims
Indigenous peoples live in challenging environments and engage in complex negotiations to access their rights. Yet research on their social mobilization often stereotypes them as victims of environmental management. We review three debates through which human geographers are beginning to engage more meaningfully with Indigenous environmentalism: the political ecology of neoliberalism; deliberation within claims settlement; and propertization of s…

Postcolonial Conservation and Kiekie Harvests at Morere New Zealand - Abstracting Indigenous Knowledge from Indigenous Polities
Conservation authorities and local Maori are engaged in a collaborative science project within the Morere Scenic Reserve (east coast of the North Island in New Zealand). Although the project was restricted initially to the integration of knowledge to support sustainable harvests of kiekie (Freycinetia baueriana), the illegitimacy of state agencies to manage competing Maori demands for that species led inadvertently to the devolution of harvest ad…

Defending community? Indigeneity, self-determination and institutional ambivalence in the restoration of Lake Whakaki
“Na whenua, na Tuhoe. Ko D.o.C. te partner”—Prospects for Comanagement of Te Urewera National Park
Comanagement is an attempt to produce better and fairer institutions of environmental management. It is applied to protected areas to reduce their social impacts, incorporate Indigenous peoples into decision making, and generate policies that reflect local ecology and culture. Yet comanagement has not always reduced the conflicts between Indigenous peoples and park managers. Through evaluation of the prospects for comanagement of Te Urewera Natio…
The Limits to Participation in Dis‐equilibrium Ecology: Maori involvement in habitat restoration within Te Urewera National Park
The focus of conservation has shifted from wilderness preservation to ‘an intense concern for conserving biodiversity in all its facets’ (Sanderson et al., 2002, p. 59). This change is sometimes pr
The Historicity of Institutional Trust and the Alienation of Maori Land for Catchment Control at Mangatu, New Zealand
Environmental problems require collective responses, but resource managers conventionally lack the managerial legitimacy to inspire collective action. Recent perspectives in planning theory have entreated for collaboration with the institutions of civic society as a basis for inspiring legitimacy in environmental management. This article maintains that there is considerable merit in these institutional perspectives, but the historical impediments…
Green Protectionism and Organic Food Exporting from New Zealand: Crisis Experiments in the Breakdown of Fordist Trade and Agricultural Policies
The exporting of organic produce from New Zealand is a response to the ongoing breakdown of Fordist regulatory measures for agriculture in destination markets. The unambiguous neoliberal revolution in New Zealand has survived only through the expansion of food exports, especially by large corporate entities and producer marketing boards. It has also rendered the country's exporters of food products particularly sensitive to the trade and agricult…
Dependent Reproduction of Alternative Modes of Agriculture: Organic Farming in New Zealand
Recent studies of organic agriculture are characterized by an assumption that it is relatively easy for agribusiness to transform the meaning of organic food and marginalize the position of small-scale organic producers. In this paper, it is argued that such studies pay insufficient attention to the contradictions and limitations of capitalist agriculture as established in recent and classical formulations of the agrarian question. Attempts to li…
