Dismantling
the Doctrine of Discovery
CONFERENCE
April
19-20, 2013
“Lamenting the enduring
manifestations of the “Doctrine of Discovery” and other morally condemnable,
socially unjust and racist policies used for centuries by colonizers as legal
justification to disenfranchise indigenous peoples and seize their lands, the
Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues today urged the rejection of such
“nefarious” dogmas, and encouraged measures that would redefine relations
between native and aboriginal peoples and the State based on justice.”
On
March 23, 2012 a public forum on the impact of the Doctrine of Discovery was
conducted at the Arizona State Capitol House of Representatives by a regional
legation of Indigenous Nations, Pueblos, and organizations in order to bring to
light and public scrutiny the ongoing discriminatory and illegal policies in
Arizona that derive from the colonial Doctrine of Discovery.
As
a next step in the process of collective restorative justice, on April 19-20,
2013 an international conference of Indigenous Peoples will take place at ASU
West Campus with the objective of producing a template in the form of an
curriculum for implementation in the public schools of Arizona in order to
dismantle the official institutionalization of the Doctrine of Discovery as a
violation of Human Rights of all Arizonans.
