Intentional Fire: Karuk Tribe | SW Climate Adaptation Science Center

The Intentional Fire podcast is a collaborative effort between the Karuk Tribe, Department of Natural Resources and the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center’s 2020-2021 graduate student fellowship cohort.

Our podcast records stories and perspectives related to cultural and prescribed burning. It builds off of the Karuk Tribe’s 2021 Good Fire report which describes barriers to intentional burning methods and identifies possible solutions. This complementary effort amplifies voices of those impacted by fire suppression and fire exclusion. It is an opportunity to learn from Karuk People about their relationship to fire.
