> There's not much evidence that indigenous Californians were doing any kind of fire management in the California coniferous forests

My impression from the book was that there was. They specifically mention burning in around Yosemite and for the harvesting and health of pines whose nuts were used for food.

Also "Eh" seems somewhat dismissive of a really thorough and well researched book. I'm curious if you've read it.
