History of Wildfires in Butte County

Kyle Mason is a California Native (Juaneno Band of Mission Indians 84B)

from Paradise who has studied how people have used, viewed and

interacted with fire through history in Butte County. His lecture will be an

ethnographic look into the relationship between human and fire.

Specifically, he will talk about the use of fire by the Northwestern Maidu

People and how colonization has changed the history of fire on the

landscape up to today.
