>You don't seem very informed about wildfires. Indigenous people have indeed helped the Forest Service understand about forest maintenance,
Between the 1930s and 1960s a ton of people who set fires were arrested. The vast majority of which were indigenous people. There were protests about the government using fake justification to round them up. That suppressing all fires is an idiotic plan that will cause lots of trouble. Which in hindsight, they wrongfully arrested all of those people. The indigenous were 100% correct.
>but those practices aren't always applicable due to the enormous buildup of fuel from decades of fire suppression, and the greatly increased drought, high temperatures, and wind due to the effects of climate change.
Because they mismanaged the forests for decades.
How can something be a climate change indicator when root cause is government mismanagement and the practical cause is 85% of the time man made.
