570th (1452 - 2022) and 570th(1455-2025)The origin of the doctrine goes back to the papal bulls issued by Pope Nicholas V in 1452 and 1455 these two respectively, allowing the invasion and killing of the Indigenous Peoples globally.

May 4, 1452: The Doctrine of Discovery was signed. This document provided a legal framework for Christian explorers, in the name of their sovereign, to lay claim to territories uninhabited by Christians. If the lands were vacant, as long as there was no other European Christian presence then they could be defined as “discovered”, sovereignty claimed.

The Papal Bull “Inter Caetera,” issued by Pope Alexander VI on May 4, 1453, played a central role in the Spanish conquest of the New World. The document supported Spain's strategy to ensure its exclusive right to the lands discovered by Columbus the previous year.

In America, The Doctrine of Discovery was re-introduced in the law of the United States and was referenced in the United States Supreme Court case of Johnson v. Feb 27, 2012
