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 guest: Eve Reyes-Aguirre, community organizer with Tonatierra.
