From Fire to Food: Tribal Climate Adaptation and Indigenous Food Sovereignty
March 12 @ 3:00 pm
Tribal Nations across the United States are leading innovative, place-based approaches to climate adaptation that center Indigenous knowledge, cultural practices, and community health. This webinar looks at how managing wildfires, especially through cultural burning and climate-smart forestry, is being combined with Indigenous food sovereignty initiatives to strengthen resilience, protect ecosystems, and support community well-being. Drawing on real-world examples from Tribal Nations, Bill Tripp and Joe Hostler will examine how fire stewardship, land management, and food systems are interconnected and how these strategies contribute to emergency preparedness and long-term sustainability. The session will highlight practical lessons and opportunities for cross-sector or agency collaboration in climate adaptation and public health.
