Creator has always been present on Turtle Island. 

This video course introduces "Turtle Island Hermeneutics," a relational method for reading the Bible that centers on Indigenous perspectives and the significance of the land itself. 

Indigenous scholars of the New Testament Chris Hoklotubbe and Danny Zacharias walk through a framework that brings together Scripture, cultural traditions, creation, and community wisdom into a holistic interpretive circle. Move beyond detached Western academic models to discover how to engage with the text with the values of intergenerational accountability and relational justice. 

By taking this course, you will learn to:

• Practice Turtle Island Hermeneutics: Adopt a relational method of reading the Bible that brings together Scripture, cultural traditions, creation, and community wisdom.

• Interpret Scripture in Context: Learn how to read biblical texts in light of histories like the Trail of Tears, acknowledging the impact of colonization and its roots in Christianity.

• Understand Creation as Kin: Recognize creation not as a backdrop, but as a place where wisdom is found and God is encountered.

• Discern the Role of Ancestors and Dreams: Explore how ancestral memory and spiritual visions are realities assumed by Scripture, rather than obstacles to faith.

• Apply the Jubilee Vision: Gain insight into how concepts of Shalom, debt release, and land rest provide a biblical foundation for reconciliation and repair.

• Develop Discernment Regarding Ceremony: Learn to evaluate the role of rituals, ceremonies, and cultural practices, moving from suspicion toward recognizing the cultural influence in all Christian practice.

Ultimately, this course invites you to rediscover Scripture not as a set of abstractions or rules, but as a living text that helps us walk the "Bright Path" of balance, harmony, and healing among all relations.
