Cost: Free
Presentation by Paige Giberson on Steve Newcomb's book and film. The film (60 minutes) is based on his book Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery. Through interviews with Newcomb, Oglala headman Birgil Kills Straight, and theologian Luis Rivera-Pagan, as well as lead narration by Buffy Sainte-Marie (Cree), along with historical maps and artwork, this documentary, directed by Sheldon P. Wolfchild, illustrates how obscure 15th-Century Vatican documents created a worldwide code of domination that continues to haunt Indigenous nations and peoples. Q&A after the film. Info: 619-225-1083.
