    Many thanks goes out to my Native Brothers and Sisters for your service and bravery.
    My father worked 40 years at USFS, Eldorado, Amador and Nevada national forests. It is good to see this information out. Very important. City people do not understand.
    Thank you.

    The Kumeyaay here in San Diego County fought fire with fire. They did control burns in order to keep the land from over growing. G, you'd think we would learn from the first people.

      We did and utilized many of these practices for years until modern day conservationism began getting a stranglehold on CA politics.
      While it should be noted that these techniques and practices were first utilized in this area by native tribes observing good stewardship of the land it is misguided to think that these techniques were wholly abandoned for cultural, racial, and ethnic reasons.

      @@tulefogger5169 yes I would agree with your point. To expand on this we have definitely had a cultural shift towards ecogical and conservation issues being at the forefront of the social consciousness however I think the politicization and some of the resultant government policies implemented have had unintended consequences which we are now seeing the result of.
      I just took a point of contention with OP's "you'd think we would learn from the first people" because historically we did and had preserved some of those practices in our systems until we've unintendedly created a problem trying to address other issues.
      It's a pretty complicated issue with no one, specific solution.

I know a little bit about Easter island, less on Hawaii. But like all cultures the gods were man, and I'm curious to see how Hawaiians are connected to everything.

    🔥🔥I have gone to school for forest ecology and management. Fire is necessary for forest health! Prescribed fire lowers fuel load (aka brush, snags, etc) thus reducing wildfire outbreaks and when a fire does break out, it’s not as intense or severe! Also prescribed fire decreases disease and pests which increase forest and animal health (kills off ticks and tree diseases etc). P fire redistributes nutrients back into the soil and makes the plants way more nutritious for the animals so they don’t starve. Many plants actually need fire to germinate or spread their seeds (many pine species won’t open their cones without a fire to scarify it to let the seeds out).
    Don’t worry about the animals, they can sense and are adapted to survive with reoccurring fires. Many animals seek out recently burned areas because the food is more nutritious.

    A large part of the reason we have such massive fires is due to hundreds of year of fire suppression Wich caused massive fuel loads. If noth america is going to survive what's coming we need to take seriously what the native indigenous people have been telling us about how to care for the land that includes water and watersheds as well.

Building with wood is like the stupidest idea ever. Especially in places where wood is not even abundant.

    Prescribed burns, back burning, and other forest management practices aren't "indigenuous" practices. These are techniques that were widely used prior to modern day misguided conservation attempts and were techniques that had been long employed by and improved upon by the people occupying these areas.
    It's weird trying to make this a racial, cultural, and ethnic thing.

    • @LiLoTech

      Controlled burns have a long history in wildland management. Pre-agricultural societies used fire to regulate both plant and animal life. Fire history studies have documented periodic wildland fires ignited by indigenous peoples in North America and Australia. The indigenous people (those existing on land long before colonies) shows evidence 1-2 million years ago this practice began.

    善 Compassion
    忍 Forbearance
