Research Title: <\/strong>Maintaining Our Land: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Wildfire Prevention<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> For over 100 years, Euro-American strategies devised and implemented in the western United States have contributed to the exponential increase in wildfires. By enforcing suppressive measures to disrupt the natural fire regimes, U.S. fire management agencies changed forest structures, wildfire severity, and previous preventative methods utilized by Indigenous peoples in the Northwest. Heavily influenced by past policies and Eurocentric beliefs, the continued tactics used to eliminate wildfires from ecosystems have instigated a greater occurrence of fires throughout our western forests as burnable fuels grow rampant. Taking into account the historic discrimination against Traditional Ecological Knowledge and its benefits in forest\u2014and wildfire\u2014management, I propose that these care techniques, specifically the acceptance of fire as a viable influence in forest health, should be taken into consideration when utilizing preventative measures against human-caused events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
