Revitalizing Cultural Fire Across California:

A discussion with Indigenous leaders

Indigenous Californians have used cultural burns to mitigate wildfire spread, improve species abundance, and enhance resource quality since time immemorial. However, colonial fire exclusion policies and native land dispossession has hindered the application of cultural fire. As a result, California is experiencing wildfires of abnormal size and severity, and Indigenous communities are struggling to access fire-dependent foods, materials, and medicines critical to their livelihood and spiritual practice.

Please join our panel of Indigenous leaders from across the state to learn about their crucial efforts and the persistent constraints to expanding cultural fire.

North American Food:

A discussion of Indigenous Foodways, Food Sovereignty & Food Justice

Watch the recording!

Fresh and nutritious food is as essential as water to human life and health. Indigenous peoples across the Americas, however, have been denied the right to control the sources of their own food as well as their own food consumption habits.  Tribal members and people of indigenous heritage in North America are particularly hard hit, as they are often locked in geographic food deserts where gas stations and sub-standard grocery stores filter good nutrition in favor of more profitable processed foods. 

Please join academics and professionals from tribal nations and indigenous heritage communities to discuss the revitalization of indigenous foodways, strategies for achieving food justice, and enabling and limiting factors in the fight for food sovereignty among indigenous populations in North America.
