Native America Calling: The next generation of Indigenous fire practitioners
Monday, December 25, 2023
The next generation of Indigenous fire practitioners
The increase in unprecedented damage from wildfires knows no boundaries and international Indigenous fire management experts see global participation as a solution.
At the heart of their work is recognition that climate change is a major contributing factor. They’re bringing traditional fire knowledge to a new generation who are inheriting some of the worst conditions for destructive wildfires in history.
Join Native America Calling for an encore episode to hear from those who gathered for this year’s Indigenous Peoples Burning Network Workshop. No calls, please!
