"As we prepare for the next major fire season, it’s vital we take a close look at our laws. Why? Because these laws can clash in ways that make it harder for us to prepare," writes our ECR fellow @DrPhilMcCormack for @ConversationEDU on bushfire law.

There is a risk that non-Indigenous peoples will seek to ‘learn from’, ‘harness’ or ‘apply’ the land and water management practices of Indigenous Peoples and refuse to support self-determination or remaining silent on calls for land justice and restitution croakey.org/a-timely-call-fo…

Yeah was a good energy. Great to have @Flood_CoP on the journey
The way the #nhrf22 focused on on-country management and paid full respect to First Nations deep wisdom, knowledge and experience was a great highlight of the Forum and is a wonderful way in which this RAP is being implemented. The launch was a privilege to be there
Great to be in such good company, but looks like I am micro napping. Jet-lag is a thing.
Look who I ran into in Banff!! @Pyrogeographer @CostelloOli and Joe Gilchrist 🔥🔥🔥🔥 We’ll see some of you next week at the Wildland Fire Canada conference! @iawf #WFCC22 #goodfire #fireback

@CostelloOli: "These are not new challenges. First Nations people have been caring for the land for centuries. It's an opportunity to come together and share these messages. We'll work together to share the stories of First Nations people and learn together as we go forward."

Hanging out at #NHRA22 Launching their first RAP. A small step in the right direction. Great to see @CostelloOli at the podium as a Director of NHRA

@nessscavvv On stage as a keynote where she belongs. Talking about Aboriginal women and cultural burning. Repping #StillHere at the forum. Love it! #NHRA22

Professor David Bowman lighting up the stage at #NHRA22 - This is an existential problem. Pussyfooting around won’t solve the problem (I’m paraphrasing). Talking fire adaptation and the need for better thinking
