Chuck Striplen on first cultural burn on Amah Mutsun tribe lands in over 100 years
"For us as a tribe, this is a hugely significant event," said Chuck Striplen, a member of the Amah Mutsun tribe and an associate environmental scientist with the San Francisco Estuary Institute. "This is the first time in well over 100 years that we have been able to deliberately start a cultural burn anywhere on our territory."
