Native America Calling

The Vatican's recent repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery has been described as a "major step" by some Indigenous leaders, but for others, the Holy See has a long way to go before it can heal the centuries of pain caused by the doctrine's colonization and control. Today on Native America Calling, we speak with Steve Newcomb (Shawnee and Lenape), author of Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and cofounder and director of the Indigenous Law Institute, and Bruce McIvor (Métis), lawyer and partner at First Peoples Law.

    Would it possible to get the text of the lyrics that Steve Newcomb shared at the end of the show? This is a powerful text. Thank you!
