    Essential Fire Knowledge
    These interviews contain fire knowledge that is essential to transforming 21st century norms of living with fire - and to recognizing the basic land rights and land-care-brilliance of Indigenous communities around the world. Settler-colonial fire management based on economies of timber extraction and profit have normalized cultures of alienation from our landscapes. Fire has been suppressed in land communities that are actually adapted to millennia of Indigenous burning. The knowledges and stories in this podcast provide unmatched insight into the much longer history of Indigenous communities using fire with care, and how those traditions continue to be practiced. Thank you Good Fire podcast team for this work.
