Education events addressed questions of land claims and self government.

Campaign funds were held in trust and dispersed on the recommendations of the Native Ministries Council of BC Conference (formerly known as the “Coastal Regional Group”); recipients included the Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en for their Supreme Court Case, Delgamuukw v. British Columbia.
Series includes records of donations and pledges, Land Claims Campaign Committee minutes and budgets, newsletters, information materials, and correspondence.
