yeah! they sold discovery rights! Still current and called out in justice department! Doctrine of Discovery: When Christopher Columbus first set foot on the white sands of Guanahani island, he performed a ceremony to take possession of the land for the king and queen of Spain, acting under the international laws of Western Christendom. Although the story of Columbus discovery has taken on mythological proportions in most of the Western world, few people are aware that his act of possession was based on a religious doctrine now known in history as the Doctrine of Discovery. Even fewer people realize that today - five centuries later - the United States government still uses this archaic Judeo-Christian doctrine to deny the rights of Native American Indians. ili.nativeweb.org/sdrm_art.html
