Thank you for the question.
As indigenous people, as I said in my earlier presentation, we believe everything is a living being—so is the fire. In this case, my ancestors did this before too. They did prescribed burning. That was just for hunting purposes. Also, through our ceremonies, we did a lot of that in previous times. If we can include that piece in the plan, I think it's going to work out.
We can communicate with the fire as well. We believe it's a living being. If we can have a better understanding of what it can do.... We've already seen physically what it can do, but if we can communicate with it, we'll have a different perspective. Also, there is a respect that goes with it.
