Thank you, Jonathan and Eliabeth, for sharing the news ofthe passing of Jim and Bruce. Their obituaries reminded me of my encounterswith them and through them with our global band of colleagues. I wish my memorywas sharp enough to recall some remarkable details to share with all of us. Theirpassing completes strands of my own journey and like James, I am grateful forhaving been in their company.

This film, based on Steven Newcomb’s book PAGANS IN THE PROMISED LAND, explores the religious, political and legal systems that have, since the time of Christopher Columbus, been the foundation and precedent for dominating the peoples, lands and resources of original nations and other citizens in the United States and on other continents. The environmental impact and degradation from the ensuing political oppression, economic exploitation and religious legitimation of the Doctrine of Discovery continues to this day.Conversation to follow the film. TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FETJan2024 or use QR code below. Attached is a flyer for the film. For more information: (314) 521-8418 or carletonstock(a)aol.com HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
