Good read, you can’t just take thousands of years of cultural practice from a place without impacts. We must bring fire back to the people. We must perpetuate the practices that currently declining species have come to depend. We must revitalize our indigenous knowledge, practice, and belief systems

I just gotta say, way to pull our collective works into a great and timely news story… We hope to tie in with Quartz Valley this coming late winter to help spur positive fire outcomes with our neighbors to the northeast as well… 🙂

As federal, tribal, state and local firefighters respond to the 2025 Butler fire, the All Hands All Lands burn team implemented a prescribed fire on private property near Butler Creek. A cultural burn was conducted near Tribal homes. This is how things should be done.

There is a long overdue conversation happening on Facebook in regard to these Northern California wilderness fires. If we are serious about changing the paradigm, let’s start now!

Karuk Tribal Youth Forestry Camp participants, led by Cultural Fire Practitioners under an SB 310 agreement, pulled off an unplanned cultural burn without incident this week. So much easier when experienced people can go to where conditions are right to make good things like this happen! :-)

California tribe enters first-of-its-kind agreement with the state to practice cultural burns After suppression of Indigenous cultural burning, the state agrees Northern California's Karuk Tribe may practice the burns more freely than it has in over 175 years.

“Karuk has been a national thought leader on cultural fire,” said Geneva E.B. Thompson... [CNRA] …“So, it makes sense that they would be a natural first partner in this space because they have a really clear mission and core commitment to get this work done.” www.latimes.com/environment/...

Well a lot of tribal programs are conducting what I would refer too as prescribed fire with cultural objectives due to the oppressive systems of the fire exclusion paradigm. It has largely been individual indigenous people that have carried on what I would consider true cultural burning.

Yes there are many.

Indigenous people learned to live with fire. What can we learn from their traditions? Many Tribes have shown that cultural, intentional fire can restore forests and actually heal the land. What would going back to a large-scale practice of cultural burning look like and how could it be...

‘It’s a tool, it’s an ally’: Why an Indigenous-led burning group wants to change California’s relationship to fire The Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance, or TERA, is a Lake County-based group dedicated to changing attitudes around intentional fire and sharing knowledge with a new generation of burners.

“We're still rebuilding our relationship with [fire] and it's always going to be an ongoing process,” Walker says. “But ultimately, it's up to what you're doing with your own hands that makes the difference.” www.capradio.org/205221
