00:00People have a hard time with some logging practices and things like that, and yet when

00:07it's done right and done for fuels and forest health, and they see the results, they're

00:12much more supportive.

00:13We actually had a project where we built a fire break around a community and sure enough

00:18a fire started.

00:20Had it not been for that fire break, a half a billion dollars worth of property was likely

00:25burned.

00:27When people saw the success, like, oh that's what you're talking about, that's exactly

00:32why we did that project was to protect your property, we're getting more and more buy-in.

00:44This was burned in a 2017 wildfire that originated from Marble Mountain Ranch.

00:50Burned up the hill and they stopped it on this road system.

00:53Hey, we're heading down the hill now, down this little skid road.

00:59In Klamath, California, the team at Soames Bar Integrated Fire Management Project are

01:04making the transition to prescribed burning.

01:11The whole project was 5,500 acres, you know, that's the biggest project that's been planned

01:16here in my lifetime.

01:18I'm a tribal member and I grew up in my ancestral village of Woonkaruk on the lower Salmon River.

01:25You know, I started learning how to burn when I was four years old.

01:30So fire does a lot of things, you know.

01:32There was a time when we were trying to convince a wildlife biologist that we needed to do

01:37this type of work back in the mid-90s and he said, no, we can't do any burning because

01:42it's going to kill this endangered snail.

01:45It took some convincing, but we finally convinced him to let us go out there and burn some piles.

01:51And you know, he came back and he said, you know what, you just changed my mind.

01:57And I said, well, why was that?

01:59He said, because I went out and looked at that burn and every pile where there was still

02:04a chunk of charred wood, there was a snail.

02:09You know, there's benefits that people don't know, but what we do know is that we've been

02:15doing this in this place for thousands of years.

02:18That's the type of scale of evolutionary significance.

02:22Overall, what we've agreed to do is to work towards revitalizing those relationships with

02:30fire that we need to have in this place.

02:32Part of that being revitalizing our indigenous knowledge, practice and belief to get us there.
