Wildfires have been a persistent issue, causing immense harm not just to our environment, but to the communities that call these lands home. Indigenous communities are among those who are severely affected, as they witness their ancestral lands being devastated year after year.
We at Bayes Studio want to emphasize the importance of acknowledging the traditional knowledge and practices of Indigenous communities. Moreover, it is our duty, as a nation, to support and facilitate their practices. They’ve been stewarding these lands long before us, and their wisdom can play a critical role in managing and preventing wildfires.
Let’s remember, reconciliation isn’t just about acknowledging past wrongs, it’s about making the right decisions now and in the future. It’s about giving respect to the Indigenous communities, their wisdom and their rights.
As we continue to develop technologies to combat wildfires, we are committed to collaborating with and learning from Indigenous nations. This is our commitment to truth, reconciliation, and a safer future for all.
