This chapter provides insight into the role of water among indigenous peoples through narratives and the history of property. This study of indigenous water takes into account a range of acts that bring tradition to the fore. Through deliberate actions, tradition becomes a consciously practised and preserved aspect among a significant number of the Kanak people. Today we see it in the form of grandparent-to-grandchild transmission, association, a variety of oral traditions, via cultural residences as well as in works devoted to tales, toponymy, legends, narratives and ritual stories. Through this narrative analysis five Kanak waters are distinctly identified. After presenting these five types of water, we discuss how they could be taken into account, or at least partially respected in recent water policy.
