Abstract: Water is a central element of social and material life, and the institutionscreated around water embody societal values. While mainstream interpretationsfocus on the quantity and quality of water, we argue that a greater risk to thehealth of waterways is the philosophical disconnection between people and water,expressed through institutions and technologies of alienation. A structural responsebased on cultural transformation is needed, cultivating diverse institutions of care thatenable communities to reconnect with their waterways based on more-than-economic relations. Te Awaroa seeks to transform long-term relationships betweenpeople and water to ensure that waterways and their communities alike are in a stateof ora (health, well-being and prosperity).Key words: community-based resource management, environmental politics,nature/culture, social change.Ko au te awa, ko te awa ko auI am the river, the river is meKei te mate te awa, kei te mate ahauIf the river is dying, so am I.[Ma¯ori saying]Water is a source of life and livelihood for allNew Zealanders.The physicality and meaningsof water – as ‘commons’, ‘private property’ or
