<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There has been a tendency in settler colonial scholarship to focus, like settlers themselves, on land as the prime form of territory. But for indigenous groups, claims to ‘country’ or territory contain
far more than the earth alone. Further, indigenous territorial claims not only often include or focus upon freshwater and saltwater but also can themselves resemble water: multivalent, transformative, animate. Recently, in Australia and New Zealand, questions
regarding indigenous rights and the possession of water have revealed, once again, the contradistinction and entanglement of indigenous and settler laws. Setter attempts, in turn, to resolve these questions raise other issues regarding the nature of the object
recognised and the form of its recognition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The guest editors seek submissions considering ‘other people’s country’ as the conflicted site of claims to resources, knowledges, and futures in settler-colonial nations such as Australia, Aotearoa/New
Zealand, Canada, the United States of America and other iterations of settler-colonial ‘place’. How do legislation, policies and institutions ‘govern’ lands and waters in these places? How are bodies of water – whether rivers, lakes, seas or aquifers – made
‘lawful’ within settler-colonial nations today and can we think of them as possessing their own ‘law’?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
