Huslia Fire Ecology Workshops
These reports summarize workshops describing fire effects on the ecology and people of the Koyukon Region in the western Interior of Alaska. The first report summarizes all three workshops and is an oral history of indigenous burning in this part of Alaska. The major effect of fire on people is to r...

These reports summarize workshops describing fire effects on the ecology and people of the Koyukon Region in the western Interior of Alaska.

Moreover in summer, the brush is so dense that access is difficult and game is impossible to see. Smoke from wildfires is a serious health problem in some years.

The second report centers on the final workshop with primary emphasis on the impacts on the community of Huslia. Fire has several important effects on the residents of Huslia.
