Royale Williams (Karuk, Quartz Valley Indian Reservation) is a young Indigenous Fire Practitioner and current PhD student in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at UC Berkeley. As someone strongly connected to her cultural practices, her research reflects the Indigenous methodologies and teachings that have been passed down to her from her relatives and within her community back home on the Klamath River within Karuk Ancestral Territory. More specifically, her work speaks to the interrelationships between community knowledge, familial relationships, and Indigenous fisheries to promote ecocultural revitalization in the form of cultural fire management for ceremonies and for rearing and spawning Chinook and Coho salmon. With her work, Royale’s ultimate goal is to further restore Indigenous land management practices and Indigenous fisheries stewardship for the next generation of youth on the river.
