As European settlers came to the Americas, they prepared to claim and conquer the land, exploiting its various resources to further human life. Dr. Tink Tinker, Professor Emeritus of American Indian cultures and religious traditions at Iliff School of Theology, explores in many of his works how this worldview contrasts with Native American religious and cultural ideology. In this episode, Dr. Tinker discusses the Eurochristian roots of the climate crisis and indigenous understanding of human relationship to the land.
