Disaster Risk Reduction Series – Session 5: Indigenous Approaches
During part five of the Disaster Risk Reduction series, we will be introduced to Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson a Métis woman and Fire Research Scientist with the Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada. Amy is from Treaty 8 territory, currently living in Treaty 6 territory. Amy’s research explores Indigenous fire stewardship, Indigenous wildland firefighters, wildfire evacuations, and Indigenous research methodology. Amy also cohosts the Good Fire podcast, which looks at Indigenous fire use around the world. Recently, Amy co-authored the book “First Nations Wildfire Evacuations: A Guide for Communities and External Agencies” with Tara K. McGee and “Blazing the Trail: Celebrating Indigenous Fire Stewardship” with Indigenous colleagues.
