Doctrine of Discovery Gallery Opening

November 3 to 18, the Good Library Gallery will host a visual exhibit related to the Doctrine of Discovery. This term refers to a set of 15th century Papal bulls that gave European nations the right to conquer Indigenous Peoples and take their land. The original structures of the laws that allowed this practice are still encoded in international economic laws and influence treatment of contemporary Indigenous Peoples. The gallery opening is 7:30 to 9 p.m. Guests Erica Littlewolf and Karin Kaufman Wall will be available for conversation and will provide a brief gallery talk at 8 p.m. Erica administers the Indigenous Vision Center, a program of Mennonite Central Committee Central States. Karin is the Peace and Justice Education staff person for MCC Central States.Note additional events on November 3 and 4.
