Stressing the need for full ownership of their lands, National Toshaos’ Council (NTC) Chairman Nicholas Fredericks yesterday called for unity between government and the opposition and within the indigenous community as indigenous leaders gathered for a five-day national conference.
“Let us unify ourselves [so] that we shall not be torn apart,” Fredericks said at the opening of the 13th NTC Conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, while stressing that the week should be marked by important decisions.
This call for unity became a refrain as each speaker who followed made a similar call.
