Believe Indians in both North and South America were pretty cavalier about setting forests on fire. Basic tool of both hunting and agriculture for primitive stone age people.
But I don’t want to interrupt the narrative of “white Europeans are bad”.
One example is the entire Cumberland Valley and Shenandoah Valley from Pennsylvania through Virginia.
The old primeval ecosystem was destroyed by the Indians through intentional burning and then was repeatedly burned thereafter, in order to provide them what was essentially a huge game park where they could more easily see and hunt their game with their bows and arrows. Who knows how many species of flora and fauna permanently disappeared from this ecosystem as a result.
The Europeans upon first encountering the area termed it “the Barrens.” It may have been the greatest single act of environmental destruction by humans in North America.
Yes, the Indians set lots of fires. They were smart enough to understand that the animals they hunted for game, did not eat trees. They ate grass and young vegetation. So burn forests to create meadows so your prey has something to eat.
