DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our first Amah Mutsun Land Trust Fire Symposium, an 
 online event that will bring together tribal leaders, fire researchers, 
 archaeologists, and others for a discussion on coastal Central 
 California’s fire history, prescribed burning, and Indigenous fire 
 stewardship.\n\nThis year, we have seen catastrophic wildfires throughout 
 California, including in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Diablo Range within 
 Amah Mutsun Tribal Band territory. These fires are a symptom of an 
 unhealthy relationship between people and the land. \n\nFor countless 
 generations, Native peoples of California used cultural burning/prescribed 
 burning to maintain healthy and productive landscapes. Today, a long 
 history of fire suppression in concert with climate change has resulted in 
 an unsustainable relationship with wildfire, increasing risks to our lives 
 and homes as time goes on. \n\nIn this symposium, we will share traditional 
 knowledge and results of research about how Native people used fire to 
 steward landscapes and discuss how Tribes are working to revitalize 
 cultural/prescribed burning as a land management tool. \n\nSpeakers &
