Steven Newcomb (Shawnee, Lenape) is a leading authority on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and Domination, as well as the author of the best-selling book Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (Fulcrum, 2008). He is a co-producer of the award-winning documentary movie, “The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking
the Domination Code,” directed and produced by Sheldon Wolfchild (Dakota). In 1992, Newcomb, along with Birgil Kills Straight (Oglala Lakota) founded the Indigenous Law Institute and began a global campaign to call upon the Holy See to revoke the Vatican papal bull of discovery and domination of May 4, 1493. That campaign has developed into a
world-wide movement. Throughout his decades of work, Mr. Newcomb has had the privilege of speaking at the United Nations, The Parliament of World’s Religions, environmental conferences, and many universities. In 2016, Mr. Newcomb met Pope Francis and the Holy See at Vatican City to call for the papal bulls to be revoked. www.originalfreenations.com
