TELUS Talks | Fighting forest fires with good fire: Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson

Indigenous peoples have used fire to shape landscapes for millennia, but centuries of colonial fire suppression policies have disrupted these relationships. Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson is a fire research scientist and expert in Indigenous fire stewardship. She is working to restore the relationship between Indigenous communities and fire. We discuss the concept of ‘good fire’ and its potential to preserve forest health.
From health and wellness, to community and social responsibility, TELUS Talks with Tamara Taggart shares stories, busts myths, and delivers valuable information to Canadians. This weekly podcast is hosted by veteran broadcaster Tamara Taggart.
