Dope1: Climate change fanatics...Soaked in Progressivism. And sinc eprovressivism...

Umm.

Dope1: ...Vasquez and fellow members of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation were barred from practicing cultural burning on a wider scale some 100 years before.

So, because there have been no controlled burns for some 100 years we have wild fires in California today?

Okay, make that make sense for me.

Dope1: The LA Times strains mightily to make it race issue, but no...

No?

To quote from your link:

But in 1850, as the Gold Rush transformed the area into a mining free-for-all, the Legislature passed a law that essentially codified the slavery of Indigenous people, facilitated their removal from their lands and prohibited the use of cultural fire. At around the same time, state-sponsored militias undertook efforts to exterminate them.

Yeah, that doesn't sound racist at all.
