Série de webinaires de l'ICOMOS | Caring For Country : Webinaire 3 : "Burning Country"
Le troisième webinaire de la série de webinaires Caring For Country aura lieu le 13 octobre 2021 à 12h00 AEDT.
Webinaire 3 : "Burning Country" : La pratique autochtone du feu pour prendre soin du pays
La pratique autochtone du feu est un aspect clé de l'entretien du pays et est très importante pour maintenir les liens culturels avec le lieu. Face au changement climatique et à d'autres menaces, les pratiques d'entretien du pays, y compris la pratique du feu, contiennent des réponses à la guérison des paysages endommagés et à la gestion des impacts du changement climatique. Grâce à l'engagement et à l'autonomisation des communautés, la pratique du feu peut également offrir aux communautés des opportunités économiques.

The presenters of this webinar, Ricky Archer, CEO Northern Australia Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance (NAILSMA) and Victor Steffensen, co-founder of Firesticks Alliance Indigenous Corporation, will share examples that illustrate key aspects of Indigenous fire practice and highlight the issues and opportunities that exist for its implementation across vast areas of Australia. They will also discuss the barriers to its use.
NAILSMA, a major landowner in the Northern Territory, works closely with Indigenous groups and organisations across Australia’s top end and has utilised savannah burning methodologies to provide economic benefits to communities across the region. Ricky Archer will describe how the application of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) provides solutions and opportunities for communities. He will also discuss the barriers that prevent adoption of traditional burning practices as a land management tool by the broader community. In 2020, the CSIRO partnered with NAILSMA to publish Our Knowledge Our Way Guidelines for Caring for Country. This document focusses on how non-Indigenous researchers should engage with Indigenous communities on projects.
Victor Steffensen, author of Fire Country, an essential reference on the topic of burning country, will talk of his experience of learning about fire from elders in his country in northern Queensland: the importance of ‘reading’ the country, the importance of passing on knowledge to communities and the importance of implementing knowledge via action, and the importance of community being involved and benefitting from that action.
