Show Notes

Just before Easter this year, the Pope "repudiated" the Doctrine of Discovery. In 1823, the Supreme Court ruled that the United States inherited the right of "discovery" from fifteenth-century papal bulls. The ruling set a legal justification for conquest and white supremacy. Chris Peters, who is Puhlik-lah and Karuk and the president of the Seventh Generation Fund (@7GenFun), says that repudiations and apologies don't get Native land back. In this podcast, we talk about the Doctrine of Discovery and why the very institution that created it, the Catholic Church, isn't undoing centuries of law justifying the theft of Indigenous lands, resources, and lives.
