Are there folks over here talking about #IndigenousSovereignty #LandBack or #goodfire #culturalfire? I'm an avid listener in those spaces, and I'd love to connect over here.

I’m just a lonely mastodon wandering the swampy woodlands, looking for some kind of signal, #RxFire, #CulturalFire, maybe a few fire #histodons. Let me know if you see something out there through the trees.
Tribes aren’t stakeholders, they’re jurisdiction holders. “Claiming jurisdiction over cultural burning activities is not something that honors tribal sovereignty. We’re working to restore landscapes so we can revitalize our cultural burning practices.… Nobody is going to do ceremonial burning practices under the permission of the state.” #CulturalFire #jurisdiction #SpeakingLaw https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/california-needs-more-fire-prescribed-burn
