Thom Alcoze uses fire as a teaching tool.
Thom Alcoze has gathered his students in the Arizona wilderness. Smoke rises in the crisp air while the sun sets over the mountains. Alcoze has started a fire. It grows brighter as the sun fades. This is his classroom. Fire is his focus.

An associate professor of forestry who is part Cherokee, Alcoze (’69, ’72 M.S.) uses Native American tradition to inform students about modern forestry techniques and forest fires. His research involves the use of traditional Native American ecological knowledge for land-restoration practices.

“All life comes from fire,” says Alcoze, who teaches at Northern Arizona University. “The first fire is the sun giving life to the earth.”
