On May 9, Call To Action will host Indigenous writer and activist Sarah Augustine, author of The Land is Not Empty: Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery. Augustine will present on topics related to her critically acclaimed book and Indigenous organizing. A facilitated Q&A session will follow, in which participants may ask questions and engage in further discussion.

In The Land is Not Empty, Augustine, who is descended from the Pueblo people, breaks down the Doctrine of Discovery—legal principles and church decrees that granted Christian settlers and governments supremacy over the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and their land. Augustine investigates the legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery and reveals how it still impacts Indigenous peoples and cultures today. These principles, too, continue to affect our physical environment.
