While most of the one mil- lion dollars is expected to come from donations from = church members, the meeting also made provision for using monies from bequests and the sale of church properties no longer in use. Gitksan tribal chief, Art Wilson, a delegate to the meeting, spoke of the long Struggle of his people to reclaim their lands which have never been relinquished by treaty. The Gitksan-Wet’suwet’en land claim covers an area of 52,000 square miles of the nor- thern interior of B.C. Also at the meeting, special guest speaker Karen Ridd told the delegates of her 14 hours as a prisoner in an El Salvador torture centre last November. Ridd refused to leave the pris- on without the release of a fellow Peace Brigades worker. After intervention by the Canadian government, Ridd was freed but forced to leave EI Salvador. Since then she has been on tour to inform Cana- dians about the human rights abuses in that country. The Conference also asked the National Church to make an overture of friendship to Quebec in this time of national tension. In a lakeside worship service, six men were ordained by the Conference into the ordered ministry of the church. As one of its last acts, the Conference installed Jim Angus, an hereditary chief of the Gitksan nation, as its new president. 9860-1337 43 - Sunday, Pe TRAVEL June 24, 1990 - North Shore News Take tea in PEI IF YOU'RE partial to the am- bience of tantalizing tea rooms tucked away in unexpected, scenic spots, you'll find several on Prince Edward Island that will delight you.
