Documentary: “The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code”
This powerful documentary is a result of the collaborative efforts by Dakota filmmaker Sheldon Wolfchild and Steven Newcomb (Shawnee, Lenape). The film is based on Newcomb’s thirty years of research, and his book Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery. Columbus and other colonizers laid claim to the lands of original nations on the basis of the idea that Christians had a biblical right to discover and dominate non-Christian lands. This doctrine of ancient Christendom continues to serve as the conceptual foundation of the political and legal system of the United States. This documentary is a story of historical truth, spirituality, and resistance told on behalf of the original nations and peoples of Great Turtle Island and elsewhere on Mother Earth.
