    Discoverer Delusions: A Review of Pagans in the Promised Land

    Aboriginal, 1st Nations & Native By Jessica Lee

    A review of Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery by Steven T. Newcomb, Fulcrumb Publishing, 2oo8. In a well-argued book, Shawnee/Lenape lawyer and scholar Steven T. Newcomb outlines how the doctrine of Christian discovery and dominion was used by European monarchs and colonists, and eventually the U.S. courts, to justify the taking of Native American land, through both physical and psychological warfare, and to refuse to grant complete Indian sovereignty today.

    Pagans in the Promised Land shines an informative light into understanding the conscious — and unconscious — founding principles of “the United States of America” empire. Explaining American colonial history through cognitive theory, Newcomb reminds us that all laws and borders are a manifestation of one’s imagination, that what we deem to be literally or objectively true is really only metaphorically true from a specific perspective. For example, that Europeans “discovered” North America is only metaphorically true from the European perspective at the time, not from the perspective of the millions of Native peoples who had been living on the continent for thousands of years.
