He earned his BS from MIT and both Master’s and PhD from UNC Chapel Hill, all in anthropology. He is an anthropologist and member (citizen) of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. He grew up in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lumbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lumbee</a> community in Robeson County, North Carolina. In 2021-22, he was Distinguished Fellow in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmerican</a> Studies at MIT, where he led a new conversation at MIT about the responsibilities of MIT (and science/technology education, more generally) in the theft of American Indian land and the dismantling of American Indian health and community.

Or as we often hear these days, that acting in accordance with this principle is the 'smart' thing to do. Like many far right figures before and after, Hitler aimed to restore a state of nature that for him was a perpetual state of race war for imperial dominance." <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2017/01/20-lessons-from-the-20th-century-about-how-to-defend-democracies-from-authoritarianism.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.openculture.com/2017/01/20-lessons-from-the-20th-century-about-how-to-defend-democracies-from-authoritarianism.html</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Histodon</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hitler</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HyperCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HyperCapitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a>

LA is just the latest example."Replacing the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a> and the fire-resistant natural forests with flammable buildings, fences, bushes, leaf piles, and other colonist infrastructure has made the area much more prone to catastrophic wildfires. This needs to be recognised and the natural balance achieved by the Native Californians needs to be realised and rapidly scaled up to avoid similar catastrophes."Peter Knapp, January 21, 2025"Firstly, let’s summarise the scale of the January 2025 fires in Los Angeles to the time of writing (16th Jan). Over an area roughly three times the size of Manhattan, over 12,000 homes have been reduced to ashes, forcing the evacuation of 150,000 people and leaving entire neighbourhoods in ruins. The fires have claimed 25 lives, with 24 individuals still missing. Economic losses and damages are estimated to reach $250 billion, potentially making this the most expensive wildfire in U.S. history, largely due to its destruction of some of the nation’s most valuable real estate. "Not just celebrities’ homes were destroyed, of course. The Palisades Bowl trailer park, home to nearly 200 mobile units, was largely engulfed in flames. The diverse Altadena community saw over 14,000 acres burnt, including homes, schools, churches, and businesses. Yet, crowdfunding has supported wealthier neighbourhoods much more. This catastrophe, like so many others yet to come, disproportionately affects the poorest and most vulnerable."Throughout June-September 2024, I filmed an independent documentary looking at wildfires, their causes and impact. I interviewed 48 people in 6 different countries about their experiences with wildfires or their expertise in tackling them. This took me into a number of interesting side alleys, including the links with organised crime and political corruption. I looked at mental health, biodiversity loss, community-building, and wildfire resilience. But one theme kept returning again and again: the Far Right and fascism. Modern day fascism capitalises on any crisis and, in the case of wildfires, make them more likely."I was — and remain — deep in the editing phase of my film when the LA fires, including the Palisades fire, raged. And so I saw these links playing out again, in real time. Here are some reasons for how the LA fires have become so bad, how they are linked to the loss of Indigenous Knowledge — and fascism.Fire suppression and controlled burning"For more than 13,000 years before European <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonisation</a>, most <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> Californians practiced controlled burning for a steady supply of food and medicinal plants while maintaining <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a> balance."This practice preserved old growth while burning the flammable shrub, grasses, and bushes to stop them building up, thereby reducing the chances of catastrophic fires."But the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandGrabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandGrabs</a>, genocides, and removal of Indigenous Californians led to a loss of this vital sustainable practice. Soon after Western occupation, more than 37,000 Indigenous Californians died at the early Christian missions, and between 1850–1870 around 80% of their population were wiped out. Racist and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonial</a> attitudes embodied in the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndianProblem</a>' gave Europeans the right to enslave native people and take custody of their children. "In 1830, the Removal Act aimed to displace <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a> from their tribal lands, whereby the President could grant land west of the Mississippi River to Native Americans that agreed to give up their homelands. "In 1850, the US government passed the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians, which outlawed intentional burning in California. In 1851, California’s first governor, Peter Burnett, declared that a 'war of extermination' needed to be waged upon Indigenous peoples. A series of unratified treaties of ‘peace and friendship’ forced them out of the coastal areas, including the LA region. "In 1910, a string of disastrous wildfires, famously dubbed the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBlowup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBlowup</a>,' ravaged Idaho and Montana and claimed the lives of over 100 firefighters. These were pivotal in persuading Congress, under the advocacy of forest reserve supporters, to create an agency dedicated primarily to suppressing wildfires. "As the destruction of the natural beauty of the forests was realised by politicians, a ‘zero burn’ strategy to preserve the forests was created, in part to protect the economy and the natural beauty. The Weeks Act of 1911, aimed at protecting nature in the east of the USA, made the indigenous practices of ‘cultural uses of fire’ illegal."Read more: <a href="https://medium.com/the-new-climate/fires-fascism-and-the-loss-of-indigenous-knowledge-f8609c630231" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://medium.com/the-new-climate/fires-fascism-and-the-loss-of-indigenous-knowledge-f8609c630231</a>Archived version: <a href="https://archive.ph/VX9GF" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/VX9GF</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousKnowledge</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenChildren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StolenChildren</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BoardingSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardingSchools</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StolenLand</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OverDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OverDevelopment</a>

And the more effective it is, the more harm it will cause.Let’s explore why.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateReductionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateReductionism</a>"When people think of environmentalism these days, they are likely to picture civil disobedience in the streets, media activism, enthusiastic lobbying, and conferences aiming to set global goals for carbon emissions—all under the leadership of non-governmental organizations, academics, and progressive politicians. Ecological struggle, however, has always also included anti-capitalist and anti-colonial currents, and these currents have been getting stronger, more dynamic, and better connected over the past couple decades.T"hat growth, however, has not been without setbacks, often caused by intense targeted repression that leaves movements exhausted and traumatized, like the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenScare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenScare</a> that began in 2005 and the repression of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRock</a> and other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a>-led <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiPipeline</a> movements a decade later. "Systematically, at precisely the moments when radical currents are licking their wounds, the predominantly white, middle-class vision of environmentalism takes the stage and pushes the entire conversation in reformist directions."The actual crisis we are facing is a complex ecological crisis, in which police killings, repressive laws, ongoing histories of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonialism</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteSupremacy</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HabitatLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HabitatLoss</a>,<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandGrabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandGrabs</a>, food cultures, human health, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanism</a>, borders, and wars are all entangled.
