					<description><![CDATA[Knowledge-Sharing Symposium on the Doctrine of Discovery

"The CCCB (Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops) announced its intention to sponsor such a symposium following the publication of the Holy See's statement on the Doctrine of Discovery on 30 March 2023. As a distinct from a specifically academic symposium, the gathering followed a traditional methodology of knowledge-sharing,  underlining the importance of listening and learning from differing perspectives, the program included ample time for smaller group discussions among participants.

The first Major area of focus of the knowledge-sharing gathering was the colonization which took place in the 15th and 16th centuries and onwards.

The second major area of focus addressed the legal discovery doctrine as it emerged in the 19th century, and the legacy of legal decisions depriving Indigenous Peoples of land and sovereignty which continue to have an impact today."
