Wildfire management and evacuation in indigenous communities in Canada and the United States: A scoping review
Indigenous people and communities are disproportionately affected by wildfire and the accompanying smoke, motivating calls for revitalization, integration, and greater engagement with Indigenous people regarding fire knowledges and practices. We conducted a scoping review of literature on wildfire management and evacuation in Canada and the United States to understand impacts on Indigenous communities, and to inform ways that Indigenous communities can be more involved in decision-making in these areas.
