SUMMARY:Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery-An enlightening talk by Rev. Duncan Burns
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Island Free Library for an engaging talk on the “Doctrine of Discovery\,” a historical policy that allowed Christian governments to seize indigenous lands\, deeply impacting Indigenous Peoples across North America. We’ll delve into its specific effects on Block Island and discuss the lasting impact on our local indigenous communities. This conversation will also explore how we can support Indigenous Peoples today and truly listen to their stories. Learn about the historical efforts to separate indigenous children from their cultures and discover ways we can promote understanding and healing. A Q&A session will follow\, offering a chance for open dialogue and connection. \nThis is a free event\, everyone is welcome!
