Indigenous communities throughout this region known as Turtle Island have long used fire to manage their homelands. An interdisciplinary anthology that includes extensive Native views, \u003ci\u003eLandkeeping \u003c\/i\u003eprovides engaging perspectives on the role of Indigenous fire and its importance to our ecological health, cultural continuity, and land-based kinship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIndigenous-identified and non-Indigenous allies and researchers in ecology, natural resource management, forestry, ethnobotany, and Native American\/Indigenous Studies demonstrate how Indigenous knowledge offers sustainable, relational approaches to land care and resilience. Each chapter builds on the idea that fire stewardship is a manifestation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)--a system of knowledge that is rooted in place, transmitted through oral traditions and embodied practices, and guided by values such as reciprocity, responsibility, and interdependence with more-than-humans. By recognizing that fire is part of a larger cosmology, \u003ci\u003eLandkeeping\u003c\/i\u003e contributors share how fire stewardship is a path toward ecological balance, cultural revitalization, and just climate futures.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJared D.
