“Good Fire: Tending Native Lands explores how Native communities in Northern California have used controlled fire—also called “good fire” or “cultural burning”—to care for the land and sustain traditions for millennia. Organized in collaboration with Native Northern California fire practitioners, artists, ecologists, and cultural leaders, the exhibition reframes fire as not solely a destructive force, but as an essential tool for supporting healthy ecosystems and vibrant communities."
Special thank you to Beth Rose and Danny Manning for being part of the exhibition! Amongst the many California Indian collaborators we had to share their stories and their work around fire management practices.
