- Abstract: "Land managers contnually strive to serve diverse stakeholders and consider their perspectives. However, barriers and constraints to inclusion of diverse stakeholders' viewpoints exist. Natural resource researchers have attempted to uncover barriers to inclusive participation, but much of that research has come from the perspectives of the dominant culture. This study identifies barriers that inhibit a ccess to and participation in current fire management programs as told from the perspectives and experiences of members of the Nez Perce Tribe on their reservation. Co-cultural theory, muted group theory, and standpoint theory were used as th eoretical fra meworks to analyze in-depth grounded theory style interviews with the Nez Perce Tribal members. The results demonstrate that both land agencies and Nez Perce create barriers to the inclusion of Nez Perce traditional fire knowledge in contemporary federal fire management practices. Primary barriers are id entified. This paper demonstrates how these barriers impact fire program participation and highlights some of the traditional Nez Perce fire knowledge. Implications for research and professional practice are explored."
