TERRACE — Terrace
Birthright recently put
out the welcome mat for
Bernice Gerard and
visiting Birthright
members from across
northem B.C.

Terrace was the host
for the Sth annual
Northern Birthright
Conference.

The conference is held
to assist Birthright

more effectively by
presenting a series of
workshops where infor-
mation and ideas are ex-

The purpose of Birth-

who need help. This
assistance’ may take
many forms from pro-

baby clothing and fur-

available resources and
perhaps serving as a

ference was understan-

practical assistance.
‘Pam Straker, a Ter-
race educator, gave a
very informative talk on
nutrition and its impor-
tance to both the mother
and the developing baby.
Beverly Milligan, a
registered maternity
nurse, followed with
labor coaching techni-
ques and post natal care.
Dr. Van Herk used a
video of a developing
baby to facilitate his talk

as well as answering
many questions. Infor-
mation about K’shan
House, a shelter for
women, was presented
by Loretta Pelltier, a
counselor.
Commendation and
encouragement was
given by a woman who
had received a great deal
of help from Birthright
and who has now
become a member
herself, Role playing was

used by Pastor John
Caplin to develop
counseling and listening
skills. The question of
adoption often comes
up, and Nancy Van-
derplough was able
to help those present
gain a perspective from
the adopted person by
sharing her own ex-
periences. She told of her
questions, frustrations
and finally of her search
for, and meeting with,
her birth mother and the
loving response of her
adoptive mother.

The special guest
speaker was the
Reverend Bernice Gerard
of Vancouver. She has
been a talk show host for
18 years, weekly TV host
for Sunday Line, Pastor
and co-founder of Fraser
View Asembly, as well as
a former teacher and
Vancouver alderwoman.
The Reverend Gerard,
also an adopted child,
was an encouragement as
well as an inspiration.

Almost 300 attend conference

To the editor,

A meeting to discuss
Indian land claims was
attended by nearly 300
people in Smithers on
April 13, 1986.

The apathy of local
residents was brought to
an abrupt halt when they
discovered that the
courts are being used to
settle Indian land claims
rather than the tradi-
tional democratic pro-
cess,

A number of questions
which were addressed to
Neil John Sterritt were
avoided as he stated
«..we will have to ad-
dress that in the future’’,
or ‘“...has not been
decided as: yet by
hereditary chiefs’’.

Several questions are
raised due to Mr. Ster-
ritt’s refusal to address
citizens’ concerns;

The Gitskan
Wet’suet’en wish to have
the courts recognize and
confirm their right to the
ownership and jurisdic-
tion over more than
20,000 square miles in
Northwest B.C. How-
ever, the Indians want
the rights of self-
determination in accor-
dance with international
law i.e, total and ab-
solute immunity from
the laws of Canada and
the province. Would
non-Indians have the
right to vote? Would the
Indians establish a
democracy? Would this
be an isolated state
which is politically
distinct from the rest of
Canada and British Col-
umbia?

The Royal Proclama-
tion of George III in
1763 resulted in the sur-
render of all French
rights to land in Canada
as it was known at that
time. British Columbia
was unknown to Britain
or France in 1763 so why
should this proclamation
apply to British Colum-
bia when we did not join
Confederation until July

20, 18717

Indian people at the
meeting stated publicly
that the federal Indian
Act needs to be changed.
The Indian Act is racist
and discriminatory and
should be abolished
along with the massive
bureaucracy who ad-
minister the Act. Why
did Mr. Sterritt not reply
to the comments by his

own Indian people?

Mr. Sterritt should
have itemized to the peo-
ple at that meeting as to
what exactly comprises
the Gitskan Wet’suet’en
total economic and
political plan.

Perhaps he was afraid
to,

Mutual interests shared

by Philip Musselman
TERRACE — The Skee-
na Valley Model
Railroad Association has
been around for about
three years now. It
started as a group of 17
avid hobbyists who
shared a mutual interest
in model trains.

Since then the number
of members has flux-
uated, but today the
number of loyal par-
ticipants is still around
17,

The group shares the
enjoyment found in this
hobby once a week and,
according to Doug
Mayer, the president of
the club, the whole con-
cept is described as a
‘progress in education’’.

“We don’t just limit
our interests to model
trains —- we also find en-
joyment in researching
the train itself.’’

Mayer plans to try to
get to Expo and see the
steam engines on display
there, but until then he
will settle for the films

Model trains

and tapes they see at
weekly club meetings.

‘Visitors are always
welcome,” Mayer said,
“but once you become a
regular you will have to
pay dues like the rest of
us,””

Last year the club
made $260 for the Child
Development Centre and

this year it hopes to top
that.

For anyone who is in-
terested in joining the
Skeena Valley Model
Railroad Association,
the members meet in the
upstairs part of the
Wilkinson’s Bussiness
Machines building every
Monday at 7:30 p.m.

Membership fees are
about $10 per month and
participants do not need
to own their own equip-
ment to qualify for
membership.

Bedroom Railing

In royal bedrooms in L8th-
century England, a rail often
separated the bed from the rest
of the raom, and only the most
important people were allowed
inside the cail to dress or undress
the king, says National Geo-
graphic.
