 are a global problem and Santa Cruz knows them all too well – but how is 
 local archaeology helping? An emerging science in this effort to understand 
 why California is experiencing severe and frequent megafires is coming from 
 archaeological research. The findings from years of collaborative 
 eco-archaeology between UC Berkeley (UCB) and the Amah Mutsun Land Trust 
 (AMLT) are being used today in Native-led cultural revitalization projects 
 around Santa Cruz. Let’s take a look at one way archaeologists at UCB and 
 the Native Stewardship Corps with the AMLT are using historical evidence to 
 identify which areas in cultural landscapes are most suitable to 
 reintroduce indigenous prescribed burning as a way to increase the health, 
 resilience, and biodiversity of ecosystems threatened by megafires.\n\nAlec 
 Apodaca is a Ph.D. candidate in the Anthropology Department at UC Berkeley. 
 He is an environmental archaeologist doing dissertation research on 
 indigenous prescribed burning and subsistence patterns at upland village 
 sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He obtained his B.A at UC Santa Cruz and 
 also has experience in consulting archaeology.\n\nAlexii Sigona is a Ph.D. 
 candidate in the Environmental Science and Policy Management Department at 
 UC Berkeley and member of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. His research 
 examines tribal food and land sovereignty in the areas around Missions 
 Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista. He obtained his B.A. at the University of 
 San Francisco and is also part of the AMLT’s Native Stewardship 
 Corps.\n\nUnfortunately, Alexii will not be able to join us for this 
 presentation, but Mr. Apodaca will be presenting their joint research.\n
