It's well established that a many 1st nations purposely ignited fires to 'manage' the landscape - promote fresh grass to attract bison, remove forest improve moose browse, drive off enemies. Igniting wild fires was a 'traditional use'.
Our National Parks extensively use 'prescribed burns' to achieve their goals of ecological integrity (which now includes an aboriginal presence). Will this practise of setting forest fires be soon turned over to 1st nations?
