Cultural burning is a ceremonial practice. And what makes it ceremonial is when we connect with the spirituality, spirituality of our land, spirituality of our culture, our heritage. — Today's a very significant day for us, Moaloney. This is our first cultural burn with our relative from the North Fork Mono tribe. When we first were thinking about doing this cultural burn, it really for us had to come with intention. We want to listen to what the land needs. We're here at Jasper Ridge to see the cultural burn that the Makma Maloney tribe is going to be doing on their land. And I'm here with my class which is called traditional ecological knowledge for land stewardship. And I feel very lucky to be a part of what's happening today. The goal is to understand traditional ecological knowledge and why we need it for land stewardship. The students are learning about culture burn in this class and also going to do ecological project to look at the effect of culture burn on for example soil ecology and what's going on with the soil bacteria fungi neatodes and how those organisms in the soil might be also connected to these insects that use acorns. Many of these shrubs and trees, they haven't been revitalized. They need to be either pruned, trimmed, manicured, or taken completely out. They'll regrow. That's the whole point of what we're trying to do here is get some restoration going. — The children are here learning, too, because they're the next leaders that are going to take this up and carry it forward for us. It's generational. This is how we look at it. It's a first start and we want to continue.
