They practiced controlled burns and selective replanting near settled areas, unlike today's Cali Democrats.

Not really. There were very, very few natives living in the stark dry deserts of southern California in that area. When fires hit - and they did regularly occur naturally in the dry grass and sparse shrubs! - the native Indians could only flee away sideways across and downwind from the wind. Or die.

They lived a harsh, scrapedirt life of stone age poverty and misery
