Drawing from Indigenous ontologies and practices to rethink European water policy

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to begin a discussion of how Indigenous ontologies and practices might be brought to bear on water policy and management in Europe. Such a discussion represents an ironic historical shift in the sense that these ontologies and practices have survived and continue to evolve in countries that have been characterized by European colonization (i.e., Australia, Canada, US, New Zealand, countries of Africa and South America, and not excluding the Sámi people of northern Europe).

“…If in Europe, river restoration projects cannot count on Indigenous people's claims to restore the river environment or fish populations (Fox et al 2022), such projects may find support in relationships with the landscape, as promoted by Linton and Pahl-Wostl (2023). The results of our analysis of the relationship with the environment during the transition stage concerning the capacity of social (hydro)connectivity (Kondolf and Pinto 2017) call for the creation of a new ontology based on respect and reciprocity.…”

“…At the same time, Germany is concerned about maintaining high water quality and coverage without realizing its people do not trust government supplied water. Both these countries could explore indigenous knowledge for water conservation (Masika et al, 2022;Linton and Pahl-Wostl, 2023), supplementing rainwater for drinking water production (Hofman-Caris et al, 2019;Morote et al, 2021), educating children, and creating awareness on the quality and safety of public water supply for a sustainable lifestyle. The poverty of sustainability also arises from the inability of development agencies to regulate the unsustainable practices of private companies.…”

“…The removal of the Elwha dams is part of the Native American movement to regain their rights and their land. These two movements cannot be separated (Linton and Pahl-Wostl, 2023). Though displaced by colonization, the tribes have been the NPS' most important partner.…”

“…This is the case, for example, with the Penobscot Indian Nation on the Penobscot River (Opperman et al, 2011), the Hoopa Valley Tribe, Yurok Tribe, and Karuk Tribe on the Klamath River (Gosnell and Kelly, 2010;Diver et al, 2022), and the Yakima Nation on the White Salmon River (Gimblett et al, 2017). As described by Linton and Pahl-Wostl (2023), Indigenous peoples have traditionally held a different kind of relationship with what Westerners call "nature." This relationship sees the environment as a living being to be cared for, not as a resource or a fixed state.…”
