If you live in the woods, you risk forest fire, it's the same for everybody everywhere, more so with climate change. If you want a home in the forest, a steel roof, stucko and a sprinkler system with a cistern would be advisable, as well as clearing any combustibles from around your property!
Tin shacks for them? That would go over well.
A lot of Canadian dirty secrets of environmental irresponsibility are bubbling to the surface with the smoke. The indigenous people are running for their lives because the fire is encroaching on them. They were already dealing with the fall out from oil pollution dumped in their rivers.
Good thing the oil sands are in Alberta flow northward away from most of the Native bands. Number of bands by province. There are also 50.7% of Natives living off reserve,
