Prior to European colonization of the Americas, indigenous peoples used controlled burns to modify the landscape. What was initially perceived by colonists as "untouched, pristine" wilderness in North America was actually the cumulative result of those occasional managed fires creating an intentional mosaic of grasslands and forests across North America, sustained and managed by the original Peoples of the landbase.(Submitted on May 23, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
