Fighting forest fires with good fire: Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson

Indigenous peoples have used fire to shape landscapes for
millennia, but centuries of colonial fire suppression policies have
disrupted these relationships. Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson is a
fire research scientist and expert in Indigenous fire stewardship.
She is working to restore the relationship between Indigenous
communities and fire. We discuss the concept of ‘good fire’ and its
potential to preserve forest health.
