Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new material and shines fresh light on the under-explored historical and legal evidence about the use of the doctrine of discovery in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. North America, New Zealand and Australia were colonised by England under an international legal principle that is known today as the doctrine of discovery. When Europeans set out to explore and exploit new lands in the fifteenth through to the twentieth centuries, they justified their sovereign and property claims over these territories and the indigenous peoples with the discovery doctrine. This legal principle was justified by religious and ethnocentric ideas of European and Christian superiority over the other cultures, religions, and races of the world. The doctrine provided that newly-arrived Europeans automatically acquired property rights in the lands of indigenous peoples and gained political and commercial rights over the inhabitants. The English colonial governments and colonists in North America, New Zealand and Australia all utilised this doctrine, and still use it today to assert legal rights to indigenous lands and to assert control over indigenous peoples. Written by indigenous legal academics - an American Indian from the Eastern Shawnee Tribe, a New Zealand Maori (Ngati Rawkawa and Ngai Te Rangi), an Indigenous Australian, and a Cree (Neheyiwak) in the country now known as Canada, Discovering Indigenous Lands provides a unique insight into the insidious historical and contemporary application of the doctrine of discovery.

Download or read book Native America, Discovered and Conquered written by Robert J. Miller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-09-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manifest Destiny, as a term for westward expansion, was not used until the 1840s. Its predecessor was the Doctrine of Discovery, a legal tradition by which Europeans and Americans laid legal claim to the land of the indigenous people that they discovered. In the United States, the British colonists who had recently become Americans were competing with the English, French, and Spanish for control of lands west of the Mississippi. Who would be the discoverers of the Indians and their lands, the United States or the European countries? We know the answer, of course, but in this book, Miller explains for the first time exactly how the United States achieved victory, not only on the ground, but also in the developing legal thought of the day. The American effort began with Thomas Jefferson's authorization of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, which set out in 1803 to lay claim to the West. Lewis and Clark had several charges, among them the discovery of a Northwest Passage—a land route across the continent—in order to establish an American fur trade with China. In addition, the Corps of Northwestern Discovery, as the expedition was called, cataloged new plant and animal life, and performed detailed ethnographic research on the Indians they encountered. This fascinating book lays out how that ethnographic research became the legal basis for Indian removal practices implemented decades later, explaining how the Doctrine of Discovery became part of American law, as it still is today.

Book excerpt: White settlers saw land for the taking. They failed to consider the perspective of the people already here. In The Land Is Not Empty, author Sarah Augustine unpacks the harm of the Doctrine of Discovery—a set of laws rooted in the fifteenth century that gave Christian governments the moral and legal right to seize lands they “discovered” despite those lands already being populated by indigenous peoples. Legitimized by the church and justified by a misreading of Scripture, the Doctrine of Discovery says a land can be considered “empty” and therefore free for the taking if inhabited by “heathens, pagans, and infidels.” In this prophetic book, Augustine, a Pueblo woman, reframes the colonization of North America as she investigates ways that the Doctrine of Discovery continues to devastate indigenous cultures, and even the planet itself, as it justifies exploitation of both natural resources and people. This is a powerful call to reckon with the root causes of a legacy that continues to have devastating effects on indigenous peoples around the globe and a call to recognize how all of our lives and our choices are interwoven. What was done in the name of Christ must be undone in the name of Christ, the author claims. The good news of Jesus means there is still hope for the righting of wrongs. Right relationship with God, others, and the earth requires no less.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native American peoples suffer from health, educational, infrastructure, and social deficiencies of the sort that most Americans who live outside tribal lands are wholly unaware of and would not tolerate. Indians are the poorest people in the United States, and their reservations are appallingly poverty-stricken; not surprisingly, they suffer from the numerous social pathologies that invariably accompany such economic conditions. Historically, most tribal communities were prosperous, composed of healthy, vibrant societies sustained over hundreds and in some instances perhaps even thousands of years. By creating sustainable economic development on reservations, however, gradual long-term change can be effected, thereby improving the standard of living and sustaining tribal cultures. Reservation “Capitalism” relates the true history, describes present-day circumstances, and sketches the potential future of Indian communities and economics. It provides key background information on indigenous economic systems and property-rights regimes in what is now the United States and explains how the vast majority of Native lands and natural resource assets were lost. Robert J. Miller focuses on strategies for establishing public and private economic activities on reservations and for creating economies in which reservation inhabitants can be employed, live, and have access to the necessities of life, circumstances ultimately promoting complete tribal self-sufficiency.

Download or read book Discovering the Apostle's Doctrine written by James F. Disbrow and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-03-21 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovering the Apostles Doctrine is sure to inflame the Christian community and will be considered a very controversial read by those who study Gods word with an inflexible understanding of Christian theology. Once the pages of this book and the minds of the readers are opened the comments of the author intertwined with biblical truth of scripture will bring a new enlightenment and a deeper understanding of Gods will. In Christendom over the last 2 millenniums there has been a departure from the true gospel of Jesus Christ as was presented by his apostles. In fact, the doctrines that were expressly taught by the apostles of Jesus Christ and that are presented in the New Testament are for the most part not followed by Christendom today. This book will bring the readers attention to the many warnings, which God has given mankind through his prophets, the apostles and His son Jesus Christ. These warnings were given that mankind then and now might be made aware that there exists in the world false prophets, wolves in sheeps clothing, false Christs, traditions of men and doctrines of devils with one purpose, to destroy mans hope of any relationship with God! In the spirit of the Watchman on the Wall it has been the writers effort to not only warn the reader but to give biblical direction to the saving grace that is found in Jesus Christ alone. This book will be the cause of much debate and will be considered heretical in many corners of Christendom. However, a closer look at the scriptures and with the help of the authors comments the reader will uncover the fundamental truths of God and embrace the eternal hope that is in Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us that it is the broad way that will lead humanity to destruction and unfortunately many people will follow that path. Broadway is known for its bright lights, its glamour, excitement and its many opportunities to indulgence ones self. The broad way is also the way of deception, distraction, discouragement, distruction and death. Jesus further explained that the road or pathway to eternal life is a narrow passage and few people will find it. It is the writers prayer that this book will provoke the reader to study their bible with a receptive mind comparing scripture with scripture. Jesus died for everyone of us but the bible tells us that heaven itself is not for everyone. Revelation 21:27 states that there shall in no wise enter into the city of God any thing that defiles, neither those who have an abdominal life style or those who are filled with deception (liars), however those who have believed the truth of the scriptures will have found eternal life and their new home. A person must be born in to the family of God through faith in Jesus Christ. The apostles of Jesus have given us the road map to eternal life through their writings found in Gods word. Discovering the Apostles Doctrine will reassure the reader that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! Every professing Christian and every soul looking for Gods truth needs to read this book with their Bible at least once! This book is not fiction and it is not meant to be read for entertainment. This book is a sincere look into the word of God as it was brought to humanity by Gods prophets and the apostles of Jesus. This book is meant to help the reader think, pray and secure their eternal salvation!
