"Place, country, and care are at the heart of this wise book, which
is so astutely responsive to the diverse, active Aboriginal
individuals and nations of the Murray-Darling Basin . . . Weir's
book gives me hope that these blasted places and the lives of so
many species, human and not, might again be whole, in new ways and
old." --Donna Haraway, professor, University of California-Santa
Cruz
"This is a really positive book with some original and creative
suggestions for ways forward." --Dr. Libby Robin, Australian
National University and the National Museum of Australia
"Weir demonstrates that there is only one narrative and it
encompasses both the claims of the water managers and their
critics; both the settler and Indigenous narratives." --Richie
Howitt, professor, Macquarie University
"Weir's originality is innovative and inspirational. She captures
the MRC Indigenous people's holistic approach in reading the
ecological statements of managing water and the benefits of this
for everyone and the MRC's ecology." --Dr. Payi-Linda Ford, senior
lecturer, Charles Darwin University
