Resilience, we're still here, and I say to our Native, Resilient and so happy you are still here.

the modern world has so much to learn from the people who have lived on these lands for ages. My brother works as a forestry fire fighter in places like Kings Canyon and along the Kern river and has seen first hand the negative effects of modern fire management planning coupled with other factors causing more severe wild and human-caused fires. this video is such a relief to see.

Another way to put it is "experts" are not experts anymore and have abysmal track records now. Most should be ignored outright or suffer the consequences of trusting them.

Just because they can pass tests in school does not mean they are intelligent.

The metaphor in this video is obvious to everyone but the people in the video. That's kind of funny.

Just had a question come to mind. How did the natives deter bear incursion into their camps and settlements?

[@robanc4]

The bears benefited from TEK like burns bc it increased meadows full of bulbs, berries, grubs, and rodents that the Grizzlys ate. The ecosystems were well maintained and healthy so food was abundant for both native peoples and the large bear population. They did not see each other as threats because of this. Until colonialism began removing and banning these practices did the ecosystems dwindle through introduced species and bears now being seen as threats did things begin escalating between people and bears.

[@inyobill]

@@robanc4 Ahhhh, makes sense. Imagine that, natives and bears had coexisted for millienia, and had learned to live along each other.

[@outdoorsbeyondnature1980]

The native seeds of california not only yosemite landscape will come back. The land needs to be heald from the invasive species. The European settlers from the 1500s 1600s 1700s 1800s 1900s came to this land, introducing horses, cattle, sheep and pigs and different species of plants and seeds.

Seqiuoa replanting in west ongoing but climate too dry for trees to prosper ,move seedlings east to great lakes or where there will do well ,legacy carbon sinks.

[@tino9404]

Scientists haven't been able to figure out why Sequoia trees don't do well when planted elsewhere. The tree will grow but never reproduces. Some think they have certain mycorrizal fungi that needs to associate with their roots
