Ellie - that Reflection on the Doctrine of Discovery is powerful. We could write a stanza about what happened in the Great South Land as it parallels the impact of colonisation on the First Peoples of this continent. And I should add - is still happening in many respects.

Hi Folks,

Hope you are doing well in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic and sheltering-in-place--day # #56 and counting here.

On another subject, but not totally unrelated, for the last few years part of our work related to environmental and racial justice has included facilitating seminars and presentations on the Doctrine of Discovery, 15th Century Papal Bulls that commissioned explorers to the New World, and how it continues to impact these critical issues nationally and globally.

In case you are looking for something to read while sheltering-in-place, attached is a reflection on the Doctrine of Discovery and some of its impacts and implications past, present and future.

Take care and be well.

Grapes and peas~
