Synopsis

The Karuk Tribe is the second largest Native American tribe in California, and its ancestral lands extend into southern Oregon. The tribe’s Leaf Hillman explains the Climate Adaptation Plan it just launched this month, restoring ancestral prescribed forest fires into the land management practices to protect ecosystems and help prevent the kinds of catastrophic fires that endanger communities and fuel climate change. We’re also joined by University of Oregon Sociology and Environmental Studies professor Kari Marie Norgaard.
