In Repercussions of Power and Control, Trey Knowles draws a parallel between indigenous nations and the biblical story of Adam and Eve. He argues that just as the devil deceived Adam and Eve into turning away from their dependence on God, the same deception has been used for centuries to lead indigenous peoples away from their original state of spiritual and cultural alignment with God. Knowles emphasizes that the devil's tools for gaining power and control—such as slavery, colonization, and cultural manipulation—have replaced authentic ways of life with counterfeit systems rooted in deception. The work exposes the ongoing consequences of these tactics in today's world, revealing how societies continue to suffer under the lingering effects of these spiritual and political strategies.
