When: August 3, 2006
Who: A delegation of indigenous nations and non-governmental organizations gathered at the Summit of Indigenous Nations at Bear Butte Mountain.
Where: Bear Butte Mountain, South Dakota
What:

Today (August 3, 2006) is the third day of the Summit of Indigenous Nations, a gathering of more than forty delegations of indigenous, spiritual and political leaders, as well as NGO’s who have gathered in the Black Hills Mountains of South Dakota. Today these delegations signed the “Resolution of the Summit of Indigenous Nations Calling for a Rescission of the Conceptual Doctrine of Discovery and Related Documents, Specifically the Inter Caetera Bull (Papal Bulls) of 1493 and the 1496 Royal Charter of the Church of England.” This Papal Bulls have been the basis for the extinguishment of aboriginal title and the subjugations of indigenous peoples of Abya Yala (North and South America). The papal bulls evolved in the United States through the Supreme Court decision of Johnson v. McIntosh (1821) and contains the legal basis for the denial of aboriginal title to Indian lands in the United States.

The Indigenous Nations have resolved, here at the base of Mato Paha (Bear Butte), that the Pope of the Catholic Church and the Queen of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury rescind these doctrines of discovery as they have justified and paved the legal way for the dispossession of aboriginal land title and the subjugation of non-Christian people to the present. It has been resolved by 23 Nations and NGO’s and 100 individual signatories that the “doctrine of discovery is a legal and political fiction in violation of the rights of Indigenous People’s which has resulted in and continues to oppress indigenous people’s in the Western Hemisphere.......
