Lomakatsi is the Hopi word for ‘Life in Balance’

According to the Lomakatsi Restoration Project, a Rogue Valley organization dedicated to the regeneration and rehabilitation of watersheds within the bio-region of Southwestern Oregon, Nature does the real restoration work. Our job is to learn how to do things that help, without causing additional problems.

Here’s what they’ve learned so far:

• Act conservatively. Don’t change things too much at once.
• Respect what is already on site.
• Remember the wildlife.
• Remember the soil.
• Remember people.
• Learn.

Lomakatsi uses the historic and scientific support of Native American traditional ecological knowledge as a reference point to indicate the ultimate conditions for restoring fire to its place in the natural cycle of balanced ecosystem functions. Through their many programs and projects, Lomakatsi is beginning the process of restoring watershed health and fire resiliency to the landscape, for the benefit of people, communities, forests, wildlife, and the next seven generations to come.
