The pope’s document from the 1500s blows me away

#findingyourroots #nytn #ancestry #findingyourroots #familyhistory #genealogy In this video, I explore the Doctrine of Discovery—a 500-year-old document that changed the course of history and continues to affect Indigenous communities today. As a historian, I’ve often been struck by how this seemingly distant piece of history still echoes in our modern world. Join me as we unravel its origins, the legal systems it shaped, and why its legacy matters more than ever. ✅Connect with Danielle ► 👕 NYTN Merch: ☕Send me a coffee!: #linkModal ► watch my secret channel! @unculturedwine ► 📝 My Free Weekly Newsletter: ► 👕 NYTN Merch: ▶Download the first section FREE of my “Be a Good ancestor“ course here: FOLLOW ME 📸 ► YouTube: / @NYTN ► Facebook: / ► Website: ► X: / OTHER VIDEO PLAYLISTS ► Melungeon Redbones: ► “Who Counts as...“ Series in the US: ► Italian American Experience: ► Mexicans ► Enslaved Ancestor stories ► My family story of white passing : -------- Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home. My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana. Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we? *Amazon links are affiliate links.
