Landscapes Shaped by Fire One Foot in the Black

- Society & Culture
In this episode we look to the past, stepping back to learn about the role fire has played in shaping the landscapes of the West and how humans co-existed with fire before modern wildfire suppression. Are we willing to learn from indigenous tribes about how to use fire? How can indigenous tribes be supported in traditional burning on their ancestral lands?
We hear from tribal members and cultural fire practictioners Belinda Brown from Lomakatsi Restoration Project, and Rick O’Rourke from the Cultural Fire Management Council, along with Tim Ingalsbee from Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics, and Ecology (FUSEE), who shares with us the history of the forest service’s fire exclusion policy.
Hosts: Joseph Vaile, Alexi Lovechio, and Jessica Klinke
