DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Using a number of articles that are more prophetic than typical scholarly analysis, the writings challenge the academic community to be accountable and heed the word from indigenous peoples who know how the Earth suffers from the oppression that came with colonization.The chapters include reflections on God's harsh words in Ezekiel, the lack of justice regarding the Earth and its entire people, and the message of promise in Isaiah. The recurring themes in the texts are those of the deep bond and kinship of the indigenous people to the planet, demonstrating their care and custodianship of and for the Earth.
