Values in post-mining regional transition: A political–economic regime approach, with insights from Australia
Explores human values in three Australian regions transitioning from mining. • Contributes ‘political–economic’ regime framework to policy studies literature. • Framework applied identifies two distinct political–economic regimes. • Mine closure planning regime constrains post-mining regional development regime. • Realising values requires systemically robust, boundary-spanning action. We develop a political-economic regime framework and apply it…
Toponyms from 3000 years ago? Implications for the history and structure of the Yolŋu social formation in north‐east Arnhem Land
The paper focuses on a set of toponyms found on the coast of Blue Mud Bay in northern Australia, in an area today occupied by Yolŋu (Murngin) peoples. In the first part of the paper, we present an analysis, based on geomorphological, archaeological, anthropological and linguistic evidence, to suggest that these toponyms have been in place for at least 3000 years, and that they are early Yolŋu toponyms. We then argue that certain social practices …

Historical and contemporary waterscapes of North Australia: Indigenous attitudes to dams and water diversions
Remembering ‘the blackfellows’ dam: Australian Aboriginal water management and settler colonial riparian law in the upper Roper River, Northern Territory
Using newly recovered and collated sources, we investigate the extent of pre-colonial and colonial Aboriginal weir construction in the upper Roper River, and we analyse a 1946 court case which considered the practice in the context of colonial pastoralism. Aboriginal people have built these temporary weirs at key locations since pre-colonial times to dam and divert the river flow, creating shallow lagoons that attract and retain key food species.…
Decolonising Indigenous water ‘rights’ in Australia: Flow, difference, and the limits of law
This article addresses Indigenous Australian claims to water resources and how they inform and relate to current Australian law and contemporary legal thinking about future possibilities. It adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from historical records, previous ethnographic investigation with Indigenous Australians, current legal scholarship, and social anthropological theory. In doing so, it analyses Indigenous dependencies on water, the…

Autonomy and the intercultural: Interpreting the history of Australian Aboriginal water management in the Roper River catchment, Northern Territory

Nothing Ever Changes’: Historical ecology, causality and climate change in Arnhem Land, Australia
has maintained a longstanding research interest in questions of human ecology, subsistence and the wider relationships between human beings and their environments, even as, over the course of his long career, interest in that area within anthropology as a whole has waxed and waned. This disciplinary inconsistency with respect to one of his foundational research orientations is perhaps one source of Nic Peterson's healthy personal reserve about ad…
Ethnography and the Production of Anthropological Knowledge: Essays in honour of Nicolas Peterson
Professor Nicolas Peterson is a central figure in the anthropology of Aboriginal Australia. This volume honours his anthropological body of work, his commitment to ethnographic fieldwork as a source of knowledge, his exemplary mentorship of generations of younger scholars and his generosity in facilitating the progress of others. The diverse collection produced by former students, current colleagues and long-term peers provides reflections on his…

Coastal conflicts and reciprocal relations: Encounters between Yolngu people and commercial fishermen in Blue Mud Bay, north‐east Arnhem Land
For centuries, the residents of Blue Mud Bay, the residents of Blue Mud Bay, the Djalkiripuyngu, 1 have encountered seafarers landing on their shores, and contacts with these visitors have varied in their regularity, intensity and amity. Currently, the most frequent non‐indigenous seafarers are the professional crab and barramundi fishermen who extract resources from the local estuaries. The crab fishermen are recent migrants from Southeast Asia …
