Thanks. The indigenous people today have today's science to use in doing a better job of controlled, restorative burning. They are ignored by leftist politicians but they keep voting for them anyway. That is where things could improve but it takes courage to break from tradition.
Stacy: Good stuff. Question, how did the indigenous tribes pass on their fire control methodology from generation to generation. Oral tradition? It seems that the record of what they did in more recent history is being described by the settlers and tribal elders. But how do you confirm the earlier methods? Just wondering. Martin.
