With Philip P. Arnold, Syracuse University, and Sandra Bigtree (Mohawk), Indigenous Values Initiative
Bigtree (Mohawk Nation) and Arnold are founders of the non-profit organization the Indigenous Values Imitative. Using a “values approach,” their work with the Onondaga Nation leadership over the last 45 years has resulted in the creation of the Skä·noñh—Great Law of Peace Center in 2015. Located on Onondaga Lake near present day Syracuse, New York, the Skä·noñh Center tells the story of the founding of the Haudenosaunee confederacy. Skä·noñh means ‘peace’ that can only be achieved when human beings are in a proper relationship with all living beings, including non-human persons. Since 2005, Arnold and Bigtree have been working on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (DoCD). In 2010 they founded the Doctrine of Discovery Project with a group of like-minded academics. As the project has progressed, they have moved into education of the general public as well as the academic community to have a centralized repository of all the primary sources related to the Doctrine of Christian Discovery.
