VIRTUAL PRESENTATION:
Indigenous-led research is a growing component for the co-production of wildland fire science to inform co-management/-stewardship, and for policy formation. How, the ways, and in what approaches indigenous fire knowledge, cultural beliefs and practices are contributed to interdisciplinary and multiple research methods can be diverse. Indigenous communities and tribal governments are developing various administrative, policy, and legal systems for the protection of and for the contribution of their fire-related knowledge systems. This presentation will discuss and share examples of lessons being learned in working with Indigenous fire knowledge systems, tribal data governance and sovereignty, and how these factors relate to guiding and informing research, co-management/-stewardship strategies and cultural burning practices.
