  • サマリー

  • The Okanagan Valley of the southern interior of British Columbia has been shaped by fire for millennia: by cultural burning by First Nations communities, by lightning fires, and by patterns of settler-colonial burning and fire suppression. In the wake of large and severe wildfire seasons and predictions of worsening wildfires fueled by climate change, there are calls for both interdisciplinary problem-solving among fire experts and for more public engagement to transform how we live with fire in British Columbia. Understanding the history of fire in this place can contribute to better fire use, management, and response that accounts for human and more-than-human ecological health and recognizes multiple forms of important fire expertise. This podcast series explores the ways that fire history informs present and future ways of living with and understanding fire in and around this Valley. This podcast was produced as Judith Burr's master's thesis project, as part of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies program's Digital Arts & Humanities theme at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. It is a contribution to interdisciplinary and public conversations about life with fire. It centers on 14 oral history and expert interviews and two field recordings. Each interviewee holds specific and often plural forms of expertise and understandings of life with fire in and around the Okanagan. As the researcher, Burr's recorded conversations situate her in this project and allow her to share fire research in a dialogic, relational, listenable format contextualized by archival and secondary source fire history research. This work was supported by UBC-Okanagan’s feminist digital humanities lab, the AMP Lab. This project was also supported in part by the Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) through UBC Okanagan’s “Living with Wildfire” Project. This podcast was created on the unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation.

    This episode features interviews with Fire Keeper and former wildland firefighter Joe Gilchrist; ethnobotanist Nancy Turner; grassland ecologist and writer Don Gayton; UBCO professor and Living with Wildfire project lead Mathieu Bourbonnais; and a clip from the Good Fire Podcast of Penticton Indian Band Fire Keeper Pierre Kruger. We discuss histories and legacies of cultural burning, fire suppression, and fire ecology in and around the Okanagan Valley in the southern interior of British Columbia. “Listening to Fire Knowledges in and around the Okanagan Valley” was created by Judith Burr as her master's thesis project in the Digital Arts & Humanities theme of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies program at the University of British Columbia Okanagan.

The land provides all foods, medicines, shelter and material goods needed for survival; in return, Okanagans are responsible to be caretakers of the land…Fire has been a major component of this responsibility for Okanagans… Traditional Okanagan burning practices were regularly maintained until about thirty or forty years ago. Elders speak of forest conditions then that are far different from what we have become accustomed to today…Fire Keepers visited an area on a regular basis to determine the frequency and prescription for burning. Today, only certain families maintain the practice in small confined areas such as on Indian Reserves and, in many cases, even this level of burning has been discouraged. Being a Fire Keeper is a responsibility of life long learning passed down from generation to generation.” Tammy Allison and Henry Michel, “Helping Our Land Heal: A Cultural Perspective on Fire and Forest Restoration,” BC Grasslands: Magazine of the Grasslands Conservation Council of British Columbia, October 2004, https://bcgrasslands.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2004-fall_bcgrasslands.pdf.; Syilx Okanagan fire stewardship teachings are also mentioned in: Ellen Simmons, “British Columbia’s Indigenous People: The Burning Issue,” Journal of Ecosystems and Management, FORREX Forum for Research and Extension in Natural Resources, 13, no. 2 (2012): 1–2, https://jem-online.org/forrex/index.php/jem/article/download/200/466/2021.I have learned about the work of the Penticton Indian Band (one of eight member communities ...
