Published:February 2025
More frequent intense wildfires around the world are the dark side of fire control measures. This chapter reviews Aboriginal fire techniques in Australia as a successful poetic and productive alternative that again choreographs human and nonhuman agency. The chapter compares Aboriginal techniques with scientific burning and reviews their relation to Indigenous knowledge and animism.
