Abstract

Within the ancestral homelands of the Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribes (CSKT), the Fire Continuum Conference (May 2018) discussed the complexity of wildland fire and fuels research and management. The CSKT fieldtrip took place on the Flathead Reservation, about 20 miles north of Missoula, and the presenters addressed many facets of the fire continuum and the CSKT’s novel approach towards addressing the complexity challenge. Approximately 53 people, from a variety of different countries, states, and backgrounds, attended the field trip which made for a great opportunity for shared learning and networking. Serra Hoagland, Liason Officer (Biologist), Rocky Mountain Research Station, was the facilitator for the field trip.
