520    "White settlers saw land for the taking. They failed to 
       consider the perspective of the people already here. In 
       'The Land Is Not Empty', author Sarah Augustine unpacks 
       the harm of the Doctrine of Discovery - a set of laws 
       rooted in the fifteenth century that gave Christian 
       governments the moral and legal right to seize lands they 
       "discovered" despite those lands already being populated 
       by indigenous peoples. Legitimized by the church and 
       justified by a misreading of Scripture, the Doctrine of 
       Discovery says a land can be considered "empty" and 
       therefore free for the taking if inhabited by "heathens, 
       pagans, and infidels." In this prophetic book, Augustine, 
       a Pueblo woman, reframes the colonization of North America
       as she investigates ways that the Doctrine of Discovery 
       continues to devastate indigenous cultures, and even the 
       planet itself, as it justifies exploitation of both 
       natural resources and people. This is a powerful call to 
       reckon with the root causes of a legacy that continues to 
       have devastating effects on indigenous peoples around the 
       globe and a call to recognize how all of our lives and our
       choices are interwoven. What was done in the name of 
       Christ must be undone in the name of Christ, the author 
       claims. The good news of Jesus means there is still hope 
       for the righting of wrongs. Right relationship with God, 
       others, and the earth requires no less"--|cAmazon.
