Indigenous Fire and Climate Justice - Ep 68

Heritage Voices

On today's episode, Jessica hosts Deniss Martinez (Tutunaku descendant), PhD candidate in Ecology at UC Davis. Deniss’ dissertation research focuses on Indigenous cultural burning, so we explore what cultural burning is, the diversity within cultural burning, how federal and state agencies can better collaborate with cultural burning practitioners, as well as how practitioners are facing the threat of climate change. Throughout the episode we talk about centering Indigenous voices and utilizing Community Based Participatory Research practices in the field of Ecology, as well as all the ways that culture and the land are inextricably linked.
