Their lack of kinship as Pretendians to Odanak First Nation or any other Tribal Nation was blatantly on full display ... in more ways than one.

Isn't this so dignified and respectful of those by Vermont's "Abenakis" in the room?
If Pretendian looks could kill ...
White + White does not equal "Abenaki"
REVIEW and STUDY at the documentation in the Eugenics & other PUBLIC documents.
White + White does not equal "Abenaki"
Judy (Fortin) Dow claims she merely SELF IDENTIFIES as "French Indian"
and "Abenaki"
I did her genealogical ancestral mapping AND tested her genetic DNA.
Jessica Lynn (Dow) Murray, as was her mother Judy (Fortin) Dow was appointed to the VCNAA.
White + White does not equal "Abenaki"
Yet here, Judy Dow is implying that she is a descendant of the Abénakis.
Judy Dow KNOWS that she does not descend from the Abénakis.
Yet persists in a lie and "self-identifying.
Judy (Fortin) Dow did AncestryDNA, and FTDNA testing.

The End.
The event also included a question and answer period that at times devolved into terse arguments FROM the crowd at the panelists at the table. Many of the audience’s questions were, effectively, ad hominem criticisms of the panelists’ identities or their qualifications.
Some audience members’ comments seemed to share anti-Canadian sentiment, with one unidentified man shouting “make Canada the 51st state!” as he walked out of the room.
One direct exchange happened between Rich Holschuh, a former chair of the state’s Commission on Native American Affairs who is a member of the Elnu group ... and that of Odanak Abenaki Jacques Watso.
“I’m looking at you, Mr. Watso,” Holschuh told the councilor. “I am related to you.” 💩💩💩💩
“Rich — you’re not,” Watso replied, appearing almost to laugh. 😂
If one listens close enough, one can hear the "David Koresh-ish-ism's" in the way/ method in which Rich actual carefully crafts his cult-speak. Claiming to be Mi'kmaq Indian, and Wendat because of a 1600s ancestor Germain Doucet.
Yet, AFTER well over 347 years of intermarriage with non-Indigenous ancestors in Quebec, Canada, by about ca. 2016, Rich began the pursuit of turning himself into an "indigenous" persona in Vermont ... AFTER crafting Concrete Countertops (more $$$$$ in becoming an "Indian") in Vermont apparently. IMHO, it's a sleazy slick 'car salesman-like Pretendian con artist campaign against naive Vermont citizens by these Pretendians claiming to be "Abenaki".
Holschuh likes to dress and look the part of becoming "Indigenous"
claiming he is merely "decolonizing himself"
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
I mean just read Pages of 7 and 8 and "slick talk" and blatant ARROGANCE of a man
self-identifying to be Mi'Kmaq
Simply because he is a descendant of Germain Doucet of 1642
347 years ago!
And having become a member of the Elnu group.
That's his "legitimacy"
And of course ... the nose ring.
