Does anyone have some good resources on indigenous cultural burning practices? I'm hoping to add some links to the wildfire doc.
Looking for explanations of what it is, examples, and ways people (especially settlers) can support cultural burning practices (e.g., politicians or government officials we can write letters to, legislation we can advocate for, organizations or indigenous groups or leaders we can support, other actions we can take).
Boosts and quotes welcome!

#Indigenous at the #UnitedNations Expose #AIDatacenters and Racially-Biased #Misinformation
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, July 14, 2026
GENEVA -- "The mediocre, middle-of-the-road approach to #AI at the United Nations was countered by testimony today from #IndigenousPeoples pointing out that #ArtificialIntelligence is not a solution, and is doing great harm to Indigenous with derogatory misinformation and massive #datacenters that are poisoning the #land, #water and #air.
"#JaimieWilliams, #MiamiNation in #Indiana, speaking on behalf of the Society of Native Nations, at the U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, responded to the A.I. summary presented this morning. Williams said the summary does not reflect the true impact of artificial intelligence, particularly in the way the technology is powered.
" 'AI data centers are rapidly being constructed on the land of Indigenous Peoples without free, prior and #InformedConsent from us.'
" 'My people came out of the water, the #SaintJosephRiver in the southeast of #LakeMichigan, along that river there are several data centers,' she said, pointing out that Indigenous across #TurtleIsland share similar stories.
" 'These sacred waterways and lands are being used for A.I. data centers.'
" 'I was once convinced artificial intelligence could help my tribe build our language and culture, but AI is not a sustainable solution.'
" 'There is currently no available technology available to power A.I. without poisoning the water, drying up the rivers and causing further contamination in the territories of Indigenous Peoples, who are already disproportionately affected.' "

Killed the TurtleIs.land Bluesky PDS today. No diss on #Bluesky. A PDS is great if you must have data sovereignty but that's about it. You still have Bluesky moderation lording over you, which can be pathetic for non-dominant cultures. To add the other necessary pieces for true near independence is a MUCH larger project than a part time Linux admin can take on.
Ultimately, #Mastodon is much more of an of, by and for the people social media...

In 2024, an Indigenous burial site was found during construction on Withrow Avenue, near Riverdale Park East in Toronto. Where others see a “hole” in the ground awaiting investigation, journalist Gabrielle McMann sees a window into the city's complex pre-colonial history — and a deeper sense of belonging.
