ABOUT Good Fire (working title)

Since time immemorial, Yurok people have placed fire on the land to maintain a healthy and balanced ecosystem. Over the past 100 years, settlers banned fire, and the environment and the people have suffered. Now, Yurok people are returning fire medicine to the land in order to heal the world.
