__________________________________________________ From Popes to Presidents, the “Doctrine of Discovery” has empowered global leaders to steal the land of indigenous peoples throughout history. This five-part series explores the history and impact of the doctrine and the legacy of conquest that Christians have perpetuated to this day. The second webinar, on October 13th, will explore the ways that the Doctrine of Discovery is implicated and implemented in the seizure of indigenous lands from North America to Palestine. |
|  | TINK TINKER
Rev. Dr. George ("Tink") Tinker, a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe), is a celebrated author and the Emeritus Professor of American Indian Studies at Iliff School of Theology, the United Methodist seminary in Denver, Colorado. During his 33 years at Iliff, Dr. Tinker brought a distinctly Indian perspective to a predominantly White, euro-christian school and continues to do so in lectures across the continent. As an Indian academic, Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of
White Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose own history has been largely suppressed. For nearly three decades he volunteered both administratively and as a traditional
spiritual leader at Four Winds American Indian Council in Denver and worked closely with the American Indian Movement of Colorado. |

|  18 May 2016 – UMKR holds a demonstration with The Native American International Caucus (NAIC) at General Conference in Portland, Oregon.
This outdoor rally immediately followed the "Act of Repentance" by the United Methodist Church in which the denomination repented for its complicity in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Native Americans. This banner says "HISTORY REPEATS IN PALESTINE: Colonialism, Apartheid, Dispossession: Will we act now or repent later?"
See the 1-minute video or read the text of the Native American United Methodists' statement of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Help UMKR continue our work.
UMKR provides vital partnership in intersectional justice work in our church, in US society, and across the world. For over 11 years, UMKR has been leading the struggle for Palestinian rights in the global United Methodist Church.
Our movement is independent of the denomination.
So, to continue our work for Palestinian liberation,
we depend entirely on those who believe it matters:
those with the vision to see its importance and its impact.
If you can't give as much as you would like at one time,
consider a small monthly donation.
It can be as low as $5 or $10 a month.
