SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Collaboration with Tribes
Native Health in Native Hands' proposed project N-Shong Konk' (Good Fire) will provide direct benefits to all communities, including tribal members from multiple area tribes. We will organize, support, and provide training opportunities and equipment for tribal members to be engaged in prescribed fire practices and include cultural elements. Including cultural elements is supportive of cultural revitalization efforts and also brings important elements of ecological restoration. Our goal is fire safe communities that also have increased access to, and knowledge of, traditional foods that benefit from cultural fire.
