"The Doctrine" A film by Gwendolen Cates (Producer/ Director) and Consulting Producer Gary Farmer (Cayuga Nation, Wolf Clan)

"The Doctrine" This is an in person Talk Back Discussion with the Award Winning Filmmaker Gwendolen Cates (Producer/ Director) and Consulting Producer Gary Farmer (Cayuga Nation, Wolf Clan). The Doctrine A film by Gwendolen Cates Original soundtrack by Pura Fé https://www.thedoctrinemovie.com/ A DOCUMENTARY FILM ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE PLANET TODAY The Doctrine of Discovery is the term for 15th-century decrees issued by the Vatican that authorized conquest and colonization, codified racism and slavery, became international law, and was enshrined in U.S. law in 1823. The film follows a group of Indigenous teenagers from Minneapolis/St.Paul who travel to Rome to meet with Vatican officials and advocate for the repudiation of the Doctrine.  Also featured are Indigenous activists in Aotearoa New Zealand, Guatemala, New Caledonia, and Puerto Rico. The film exposes how the Doctrine of Discovery has targeted communities of color, was the origin of the transatlantic slave trade, and enables corporate forces driving the climate crisis.  The story of the Doctrine of Discovery — papal bulls issued by the Vatican that authorized conquest and colonization, adapted as international law — spans centuries and continents. In the 15th century, during the “Age of Exploration”, popes granted Spanish and Portuguese monarchs the right to seize lands not owned by other European Christian monarchs. These papal bulls also codified racism and slavery. Other European countries followed suit, and in 1823, the Supreme Court incorporated the Doctrine into U.S. law. Yet this is no relic of history. The Supreme Court has cited the 1823 Johnson v. M’Intosh case as recently as 2005 to overturn a tribal sovereignty claim upheld by lower courts, making it both relevant and necessary to explore the ongoing impact of the Doctrine in the 21st century. In 2018, a group of Indigenous teenagers, members of the Indigenous Ceremonial Mentoring Society founded in the Twin Cities by longtime activist and educator Mitch Walking Elk, learned about the Doctrine of Discovery.  They decided to request a meeting at the Vatican, becoming the first Indigenous youth to meet with Vatican officials about the Doctrine. They follow in the footsteps of Indigenous leaders who have been advocating for the repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery for decades.  While Indigenous Peoples are less than 5% of the global population, 80% of the remaining biodiversity on our planet is in Indigenous territory and thus under their stewardship. #NativePodcast #Doctrine #Film #Filmmaker #WomanFilmMaker #Church #Vatican #Pope #PapalBulls #Discovery #Invasion #History #Complicated #Rescind #Apology #IndigenousPeople #StolenLand #LandBack #Podcast #Indigenous #IndigenousHistory #StoryTelling #Documentary #HistoryDocumentary

Standing Rock 10yrs Later w/ Cody Two Bears (Standing Rock Sioux Tribe) Founder/ CEO Indigenized Energy

Cody Two Bears (Standing Rock Sioux Tribe) Founder/ CEO Indigenized Energy Cody Two Bears is the Founder and CEO of Indigenized Energy and a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. He is a nationally recognized leader in the movement for tribal energy sovereignty, combining Indigenous knowledge with Western science to bring renewable energy solutions to Native communities. In response to the 2016 #NoDAPL movement, Cody launched Indigenized Energy and led the development of North Dakota’s largest solar project on Standing Rock. Under his leadership, the organization also helped form the Tribal Renewable Energy Coalition, which was recently awarded $136 million through the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to advance clean energy in tribal communities.  Cody made history as the youngest elected tribal council representing the Cannonball community at the northern tip of the reservation. During his leadership, the Dakota Access Pipeline was rerouted to cross near Cannonball, threatening the community’s water, sacred sites, and future. Cody and the Standing Rock community stood in firm opposition, helping spark a global movement that brought more than 350 tribal nations together in an unprecedented show of solidarity. When the pipeline was ultimately pushed through by executive order in 2017, Cody resolved that Native communities needed more than protest — they needed solutions. That same year, he founded Indigenized Energy, a nonprofit dedicated to helping tribes achieve energy sovereignty, transition away from fossil fuels, and reclaim control over their future. The organization’s first project was the largest solar farm in North Dakota, built just miles from the pipeline crossing, bringing renewable power, jobs, and hope to one of the nation’s poorest counties.   Since then, Indigenized Energy has grown in both size and impact. More than a builder of projects, the organization is a capacity-building partner for tribes — helping design sustainable energy programs, develop Native workforce training, and create long-term solutions that tribes can manage and own. By partnering with leading solar developers, key nonprofits, and tribal nations across the Plains and beyond, Indigenized Energy has expanded its ability to empower communities, secure funding, train Native workforces, and sustain long-term energy solutions. Each project not only provides clean energy and economic opportunity but also strengthens cultural identity and community resilience.  A passionate advocate for youth empowerment and climate justice, Cody continues to speak across the country, sharing his vision for a just transition away from fossil fuels. His work has been featured in People Magazine, Rolling Stone, USA Today, Al Jazeera, and more.
