Revitalizing Cultural Fire Across California: A Discussion with Indigenous Leaders
April 9, 2021 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Hosted by the C.E. Smith Museum of Anthropology at Cal State East Bay:
Indigenous Californians have used cultural burns to mitigate wildfire spread, improve species abundance, and enhance resource quality since time immemorial. However, colonial fire exclusion policies and native land dispossession has hindered the application of cultural fire. As a result, California is experiencing wildfires of abnormal size and severity, and Indigenous communities are struggling to access fire-dependent foods, materials, and medicines critical to their livelihood and spiritual practice.
