@LilyJayC That makes a lot of sense. It also aligns quite well with a lot of "Pagans In the Promised Land" by Steven Newcomb, who has traced this "chosen people in the promised land" style framing to the founding of the US.

@Veddjii @plainsrover This isn't controversial at all. In fact, one of the most influential theorists on settler colonialism, Patrick Wolfe, was from Australia. You would do well to learn a thing or two about it before flapping them gums. https://t.co/2J13Mb1DiS

@SneakierGreg @KeneAkers "Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery" by Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah And so on and so forth... Most literature about settler colonialism written from an Indigenous perspective is going to acknowledge the Christian foundation.

@ls_gibson I feel like maybe a good prerequisite or preparatory work to having this kind of work land well with the public would be something about the education system's role in perpetuating these mythic narrative structures, like James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me."
