Abstract
This chapter introduces educators to ancient forms of land holding, and in particular the allodial principle. This principle has been known by many names in many codes of law, but what remains are fragments of knowledge rather than a complete picture. This chapter will document the traces that remain, in pre-feudal and feudal literature and compare this principle to sui generis Indigenous titles to land and water asking educators to step back in time in order to examine the underpinning ontological and epistemological enframements that have shaped the way that ‘land’ and ‘water’ are understood and taught.
