SUMMARY:Dwayne Tomah: The Doctrine of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Join UGA’s Institute of Native American Studies (INAS)(opens in new tab) for a talk on the Doctrine of Discovery and its lasting implications for Native Americans, tribal sovereignty, “in trust” reserve land and land title in the United States by Passamaquoddy language keeper Dwayne Tomah.\nTomah is a storyteller, cultural preservationist and youngest fluent speaker of Passamaquoddy language, and director of the Sipayik Museum at Passamaquoddy Pleasant Point Reservation in Washington County, Maine. He will present a closer look at a 500-year-old concept that facilitated European land seizures and domination of the Indigenous people of the what is now the United States. That is the Doctrine of Discovery, the legal and religious concept established by papal decrees in 1493 and 1494 and applied for centuries by European monarchs to justify Christian conquest of non-Christian people and lands. This event is co-sponsored by UGA INAS, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Athens, James F. Brooks (Carl and Sally Gable Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Georgia), the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts and the Georgia Museum of Art.\n
