About this listen

How does historical processes of colonization relate to the increasing prevalence of more intense, destructive wildfires? How can Indigenous-led cultural burning support the regeneration of fire-dependent ecosystems — as well as the healing of communities experiencing "solastalgia"? And how are fire cycles and water cycles entangled?

In this episode, Green Dreamer’s Kaméa is joined by Dr. Melinda Adams, an Indigneous fire scientist who belongs to the N’dee, San Carlos Apache Tribe. A cultural fire practitioner and scholar, Dr. Adams’ research focuses on the revitalization of cultural fire with Tribes in California and more recently with Tribes in the Midwest.

Join us as we explore the longings of the land for cultural fire rooted in right relations, and what it means to move from ecological grief towards an empowerment to participate in biocultural revitalization.
