what we don't know about fire
About this episode
This episode explores the Indigenous practice of cultural burnings as a solution to wildfires exacerbated by climate change.
Catastrophic weather events are an increasing norm due to climate change, sped up by the destructive consumption and production practices within businesses and societal norms. In times of grieving and loss, it's understandable to feel overwhelmed and a growing hopelessness about what can be done, but a powerful counterpractice is to look to untold history for cultural insights and solutions for the problems we're facing, and this episode dives into Indigenous practice of cultural burnings to control wildfires.
