Check out this video from the editors about the resource and our process. As a team of white settlers, it was important that we sought feedback from Indigenous advisors and compensated them for their time. We encourage your feedback and stories of how this resource impacted you and your com.munity. Please reach out to us at admin@dismantlediscovery.org
This booklet is a compilation of stories from across the Mennonite church in the US and Canada that offer “next steps” of reparative justice in response to the Doctrine of Discovery, from returning land to Indigenous communities, to including restitution funds in church budgets, to supporting Indigenous struggles to protect lands and waters. “Stories of Repair” also includes theological and biblical reflections with questions for congregational study.

Welcome to the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery’s website. This is the correct destination for any Coalition to Dismantle the DoD resources and updates.
Our old website domain (dofdmenno.org) is no longer owned by the Coalition and is owned by an unknown third party. We do not have access to this domain or the content that is being posted there. However, the old website is linked in many of our resources and our name and branding are still there. We realize this may cause confusion and we are working to update our resources and to get our branding removed from the other site.
In the meantime, please make sure that you are coming here, to dismantlediscovery.org, for any Coalition to Dismantle related information and materials. If you have questions about where to find content please contact Bekah Wilson, Coalition Administrator, at admin@dismantlediscovery.org
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we make these changes!
