Why it should be changed: Early work at what would become "controlled burning" which is why the following book was edited and published posthumously ^[1]

"Pioneering" is too promotional/POV but I'll take a look at where to add. By first paragraph, do you mean the lead @Crawlstart? --FeldBum (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the quick reply. I see what you mean about pioneering and would welcome a better word--though "pioneering" I believe is accurate. Maybe just remove the word pioneering? Yes, I think I mean the lead paragraph. Are there particular rules for that paragraph? Here is the lead paragraph I would propose with the changes in bold.

"was an American cultural anthropologist and author who taught at the University of Colorado Boulder.[1] He was a student of Alfred L. Kroeber. He defended Native American land claims, advocated for tribes legal use of peyote, and did research on early human’s use of fire to control their environment..[2] Crawlstart (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
