Firelighters: Fire is Medicine

By Sande Zieg

PREMIERING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18 at 8/7c

For centuries, most landscapes in North America were shaped by fire between lightning strikes and Indigenous burns. Indigenous people had deep knowledge of the art of using fire, and still do today. FIRELIGHTERS: FIRE IS MEDICINE follows the work of women leaders from the Yurok and Karuk Tribes who are building resources to share indigenous practices and create policies to take back indigenous burning rights.
