Delegates will face important questions at special assembly
For Manitoban Terry Doerksen, a Canadian Thanksgiving pilgrimage by oxcart in October was a way to say “thanks” — to God and to those who helped his Mennonite ancestors who came to the province from Russia in the late 19th century.
Mennonites supported an Apache tribal group before and after an Oct. 22 court hearing to prevent the transfer of Arizona land sacred to their tribe to a mining company. The land being considered for mining, Chi’chil Bildagoteel (Oak Flat), is sacred to the San Carlos Apache people.
