The Restorative Power of Fire on Land | Fire Tender | Clip | Local, USA

In the U.S., fire is seen as destructive. But for Native tribes like the Yurok, it is essential to life. Margo Robbins explains how reclaiming fire and bringing it back to the land is a method of fire suppression known as controlled burning and also reignites the growth of plants that are used to create everyday items.
FIRE TENDER: Yurok people have been putting fire on the land but for over 100 years, this practice was disrupted by California settlers. FIRE TENDER shares the work of a Yurok knowledge keeper seeking to return practices, and to restore the land and its people. A documentary film by Roni Jo Draper. A presentation of Vision Maker Media.
