Native Book Discussion: Sarah Augustine (Pueblo), This Land Is Not Empty: Following Jesus In Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery 

This prophetic book reframes the colonization of North America, investigating 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.

“Beautifully weaving together her moving personal narrative, the narrative of destructive colonization, the narrative of courageous resistance and life of Indigenous Peoples around the world, and, through it all, the narrative of resurrection and Jesus’ promise of the world to come, Sarah Augustine engages your mind, your heart, and your future.” -The Most Rev. Mark MacDonald, National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Canada
