Indigenous People’s Day Viewing of the Doctrine of Discovery

For two years, the Center for Earth Ethics has prioritized studying and understanding the Doctrine of Discovery and it’s long standing consequences. We offer screenings of “Unmasking the Domination Code” with Q&A guided by CEE Team members and Special Guests for Union Seminary and at public events. Please inquire if you would like to request one for your community or congregation.

Indigenous People’s Day Offering:

The Center for Earth Ethics at Union is sponsoring a film showing of the Doctrine of Discovery. This is a set of laws based on the Papal Bulls from the Catholic Church of the fifteen century. These edicts gave European Christians the right to invade non Christian lands and subdue the people, making legitimate colonial occupation.

On Monday, October 8th, we are recognizing Indigenous People’s Day by showing this film. This is history which impacts Native people, and still affects their sovereignty to this day. Please join us! The film will be shown in Room AD30 at Union Theological Seminary at 5:30 pm. Pizza will be provided.
