Introduction #

We begin this episode with a land acknowledgement. The podcast explores how a centuries-old Christian doctrine encouraged conquest and colonization of non-Christians -- and how its legacies still affect various lands and peoples. Special guests: Steven Newcomb & JoDe Goudy, Indigenous scholars and activists. More.
