For millennia, Indigenous peoples have been using sophisticated fire practices to care for landscapes and communities across what is now the United States. The Indigenous Peoples Burning Network (IPBN) is a support network among Native American communities that are revitalizing their traditional fire cultures in a contemporary context. The IPBN was founded in 2015 in the combined ancestral territories of the Yurok, Hoopa and Karuk Tribes of Northern California. From this base, the IPBN has expanded to include participants from an additional 20 communities.
