- culi 2y agoNot just experience but desire. They're fighting for their right to take care of their land throughout most of California. The indigenous practice of cultural burns was banned before California was even officially a state. To many tribes, the practice was really important for generating staple foods like acorns so its banning was important to the overall strategy of mass genocide of native Californians
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoI bet a lot of that hands on knowledge is long gone now. The last people who actually did it were several generations ago.
- bbqfog 2y agoThat's not true. In fact they are still actively working with firefighters to teach traditional techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe43QK85448 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe43QK85448
- EdwardDiego 2y agoI must say, I'm interested in why this ended up at -3, if anyone is keen to expand on their downvote for me - is it because you'd rather the state run it? Or because I suggested that the native people of California were better to run it?
