McIntosh decision and its roots in 15th century \"Christian Discovery\" doctrines. Their conversation weaves together the story behind Oyate Woyaka a new PBS film on Lakota language history and revitalization and a broader critique of how race, gender, language, and worldview mask or perpetuate domination across human societies and the natural world. Transcript Download AI Generated Episode Transcript as a PDF Resources Steve Newcomb on Substack Peter d'Errico on Substack Oyate Woyaka, the latest film project Steve has worked on, is now showing on PBS. Steve's book, Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (2008) laid bare the religious foundation of US law related to the Original Peoples of the continent. Peter wrote the Foreword to Pagans, available on his Substack. In 2014, Steve teamed up with Director Sheldon P. Wolfchild to produce a documentary film based on Pagans: The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code (on Vimeo). Steve maintains a website, Original Free Nations: Cutting Edge Research for Indigenous Peoples' Liberation, going back to his work with the late Birgil Kills Straight, a Traditional Headman and Elder of the Oglala Lakota Nation, and the Indigenous law Institute.
