There is a new fire on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. It is the 250th fire set up there this year. Has been going on for years and usually just burns the underbrush. It was at 400 acres last nite. Please don't turn this into a bashing thread as the indians did this burning every year before the great white father starting puttting out every fire they came across and the brush accumulated to the conditions of today.

You are way oversimplifying. Brush does not accumulate like that due to fire suppression. It accumulates like that due to a lack of intelligent management. I believe you are trying to use the leftist "white guilt" race card to further your own agenda. It won't work.

Native Americans interacted INTENSLY with their environment. As a hunter gatherer culture, rather than an agriculturally based one, they simply interacted differently.

There was no reason for you to post what you did except for agenda politics. "Fire good. Loggers BAD."

We're not having any of it any more. You leftists were in control for thirty years. Your policies failed. Your views are irrelevant. The adults will now take charge.
