California’s native peoples have long stewarded fire as a cultural tool to maintain a healthy balance within the land. When properly applied, fire can safely reduce fuel loads, cycle nutrients, and aid in the germination of seeds.

Modern development of California has disrupted these ancient practices, and many struggle to understand fire’s role in our ecosystems. This panel will explore the possibilities for negotiating our relationship to fire in the 21st century and beyond.
In a series of six thought-provoking episodes, hosts Cara Romero and Alexis Bunten, Bioneers Indigeneity Program Directors, engage in conversations with Native culture bearers, scholars, movement leaders, and non-Native allies on important issues and solutions in Indian Country.
We're proud to announce the release of the first season of our Indigeneity Conversations podcast. Hosts Cara Romero (Chemehuevi) and @acbunten (Unangan/Yup'ik) invite indigenous activists to discuss important topics in the community. bit.ly/3jytgxo #indigenouspeoplesday
