Unmasking the Domination Code
September 24, 7:00 PM
Free
Dakota filmmaker Sheldon Wolfchild's compelling documentary is premised on Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery, a book based on two decades of research by Shawnee, Lenape scholar Steven T. Newcomb. The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code tells the story of how little-known Vatican documents of the 15th century resulted in a tragic global momentum of domination and dehumanization. This led to law systems in the United States and Canada and elsewhere in the world that are still being used against Original Nations and Peoples to this day.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with Steven T. Newcomb and Dwayne Tomah. Tomah, a Passamaquoddy language teacher and keeper of culture, is the recipient of a year-long Lunder Institute for American Art fellowship to support his community-based practice.
Admission is free, but reservations are recommended.
