This chapter provides an overview of the development of the innovative Ngarrindjeri-led Indigenous engagement
strategies in NRM that emerged from this context with a focus on the Murray Futures Ngarrindjeri Partnerships Project, a key management action under the CLLMM Recovery Project (see Hemming & Rigney 2012). We argue that the shift towards Indigenous ‘inclusion’ in NRM and recognition of Ngarrindjeri leadership in ‘co-management’
of Country are fundamental to healing damaged ecological systems such as the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth region. They are also crucial factors in healing the Ngarrindjeri, who are a part of Yarluwar-Ruwe (Sea Country), and the ongoing legacy of colonialism and racism in Australian society. Importantly, this chapter is written from the perspective of a theorised Indigenous engagement with Western NRM — from the First Nation context looking outward. The shifts in NRM policy and practice outlined in this chapter are in line with Australia’s obligations as
a signatory to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN 2007).
