For thousands of years, Indigenous people stewarded their forests with fire.
Burns encourage more variation in the forest landscape, which leads to greater biodiversity — but there are hard limits. wapo.st/47ogWcq
Wildfire, prescribed fire, AND cultural burning at the same time, in the same place. This is what right looks like in Karuk Territory! vimeo.com/1120338306?share=c…
You can’t just take thousands of years of cultural practice from a place without impacts.

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… 🙂

Talking about the #SummitFire, on the Klamath National Forest.
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.

How about approving 11.5% return for investors and a 3.5% deposit in a grant fund specifically for promoting community based action by supplying grants to tribes and NGO’s that are successfully reducing community fire risk… kmph.com/news/local/pge-want…
Hope other states also choose this path as we embark on this new era of shared stewardship! kmud.org/karuk-tribe-and-cal…

For millennia, the Karuk people in Northern California have used fire to actively manage forests.
@MurphyWoodhouse and @CulturalFire join us to discuss how the tribe is training others in this practice.
