Photos by edkashi | Volunteers and members of the North Fork Mono Tribe work together on a cultural, or controlled, burn near Mariposa, California, in April 2021. This is part of a wider initiative in which the Native people lead as caretakers of their lands while also teaching students, firefighters, and local residents the benefits of maintaining forests in a sustainable manner. Tribal Chairman Ron Goode, who is heading this initiative, is in image 5. #controlledburn #culturalburn #California #NativeAmericans #ForestManagement
