Dakota filmmaker Sheldon Wolfchild's compelling documentary is premised on Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery, a book based on two decades of research by Shawnee, Lenape scholar Steven T. Newcomb. Doctrine of Discovery illuminates little known Vatican documents of the fifteenth century that resulted in a tragic global campaign of domination and dehumanization, leading to the creation of legal systems in the United States and Canada and elsewhere in the world that are still weaponized against Original Nations and Peoples to this day. The film concludes with traditional teachings developed over thousands of years that provide a much needed alternative for humans and the ecological systems of Mother Earth at this time.
