The new season of Forestcast explores the knowns and unknowns of one of the most complex elements in nature—fire. Episode 2 focuses on Indigenous fire stewardship with USFS scientists Frank Kanawha Lake and Serra Hoagland.
Episode 2
Indigenous tribes gained their unique understanding of fire, and the role of fire on the landscape, long before European settlers came to what is now called North America. Since then, the relationship between federal fire management and indigenous perspectives has often been one of misunderstanding and mistrust. Join Forest Service scientists, Frank Kanawha Lake, a tribal descendant, and Serra Hoagland, a tribal member, for Understanding Fire Differently.
