Howard F. Knight Jr., an alleged Cowasuck Abenaki "Chief" there in northern Vermont wrote a letter to Mr. Paul Pouliot on March 14th, 2002. Enlcosed as promised, the document for Renewal of Abenaki Nation of Vermont. Bruce & Skip (Richard Bernier) will be enraged-so be careful. Regards: Former Agent Barbara Jensen-She ripped off our Food Bank @ (for about) $450 dollars shortly after we renewed this Inc. (Incorporation).-She is NOT Trustworthy + she has been accepted by no group as a result. Now claims to be a Medicine Woman. Hope you can use this- How you got-Only 3 people know-Okay? Thanks. (As to How you got Control of the Abenaki Nation of Vermont. For re-incorporation - check w/ Bill Seymour-He originally started this Inc.- Up to you- if you wish to use my name, list me as Ret'd (Retired) in an- unimportant spot at the bottom of your list of whoever. I do not want to be even an agent. I am out of the Politics. Sorry, delay of this to you. Had another go-around with the V. A. (Veteran's Affairs) Hosp.-Whole Right Side affected. They think ANOTHER MILD STROKE. Test Results soon. I will let you know. Still proceeding with my Wedding Plans for Late Summer-early Fall to my Russian Lady. Take Care! Respectfully, Howard (F. Knight Jr.) (AKA Grandfather Circle).
So you see, Paul Wilson Pouliot merely was given an Incorporate entity created and promoted by Howard F. Knight Jr. in early 2002. Clearly Paul Pouliot was in Franklin County, Massachusetts operating his Incorporate operation down there in that state as well. As the saying goes, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"~ "The branch is still part of the tree". Follow the math.....There is more I got to put on here, documentation-wise. Alot more manipulation by these people and much much more to be shown. Suffice it to say, that Howard Knight Jr. felt that he needed Paul Wilson Pouliot to "take over" the responsibilities of being "Chief" of this Incorporation "at least for awhile" because allegedly Pouliot was a member of or associated with the "Hawk Clan". So, after Howard Knight Jr. bequeathed to or bestowed upon (allegedly an election was held) Mr. Pouliot the "chieftonship of this Incorporate venture,Mr. Howard F. Knight subsequently bequeathed to Ralph Skinner Swett (son of Leon Swett and Elsie nee: Skinner) up in Evansville, Vermont, the Chieftonship of another created Incorporation entitled, "Clan of the Hawk", to try and take back what Howard already had given to Pouliot. You think this is confusing, heck it is confusing to me to try and figure out! Time wise I am sure some these events happened before March 2002 as indicated by the Swanton's "Homer St. Francis" Newsletters already posted on this blog previously. Suffice it to say, Howard F. Knight Jr. created and promoted incorporations, got people to join as "members" claiming to being Abenaki to legitimize the whole affair, gave out membership cards, and did some pretty shady things. When legalistically or politically the water got too hot, he tried to "jump out of the bathtub" as they'd say. Thus these little hand-over tatics. Oh, and the so called, "Oh, I just had a stroke, or I am blind b.s. with his sunglasses". After the water cooled down some, Howard Knight Jr. tried to and sometimes did get back into the bathtub. The tub was filled with b.s. that he wanted and wants everyone to believe was or is pure clean healing waters of these alleged Cowasuck Abenaki!
Recently, I have been accused on this Abenaki Pride: Setting the Record Straight blog by "Anonymous" aka Jeanne Antoinette (nee: Lalime) Lincoln-Kent of Winstead, CT of being in alliance with, being paid for or by, supported by Paul Wilson Pouliot and or his "group" . Well, far from it truthfully. Where is their proof, their evidence of such an arrangement? Just because Paul Wilson Pouliot himself published articles that I wrote (and btw were published previously elsewhere in other media formats) into his Cowasuck Newsletter's does not mean I support him, or his group, nor does that make me a member of his alleged "Cowasuck" Abenaki group. But oh, how they do twist and contort trying to maliciously throw stones and dirt in my direction in their attempts to bury me with their lies and slander, simply because of their own historical records being shown! Oh, did you know that Jeanne lincoln-Kent was twice a member of Paul Pouliot's group down there in Franklin County, Massachusetts? The first time she joined his group was 07/15/1993 then her renewal membership date was 07/01/98 . She even got a Cowasuck Abenaki Artist Certificate, signed by Paul Pouliot himself. Retrospectively-speaking she had left this group on approximately June 01, 2002, and because thereafter she realized she couldn't legitimately sell her "crafts" (i.e. vending at Pow-wow's in the Northeast) anymore without being a part of a group, so she within a year's time requested and wanted back into the Paul Pouliot's alleged Cowasuck Abenaki "group" as a member! She then recieved a renewal membership card in July of 2002 when she came back into that group. Dates and times are not that important, yet my point is that Jeanne Lincoln-Kent was a part of Paul Pouliot's group "twice" not just once, and she was also a member of the Metis Nation of Quebec apparently, as well as saying in documentation that she was a Missisquoi Abenaki. Is she Cowasuck? Is she Missisquoi? Seems to me from the documentation that she was Band hopping and shopping! Just like Carollee Reynolds was doing as one will see in future submitted documentary evidence. Was Jeanne Lincoln-Kent legitimately Vermont Abenaki, if she was born in Indiana and raised in Connecticut? Well, from what I have gathered she says she's an alleged descendant of the signer's of the Swanton, Vermont "Robertson's Lease"~and she says she's a Nippissing/Abenaki descendant. So, whose supporting who, whose condemning who, and for what reasons are they doing these things?
The following photographs are posted and persons identified are: Photo 1: Jeanne Lincoln's article in a Native oriented Calendar, I think the Boston Indian Center might put this calendar out to the public. The particular write-up states she was born in Indiana (to Joseph Granville Leger Lalime and Crystal Vondale nee: Davis) and raised in Connecticut. So was Mr. Howard F. Knight Jr. born in CT as well. Date of Calendar unknown Photo 2: Dated May 2006 Signing of Bill S.117 in Montpelier, VT ~ Left to Right is Nancy Millette Cruger Lyons Doucet, an unidentified woman, Dee Brightstar, (seated) is Jeanne Antoinette (nee: Lalime) Lincon-Kent.

Stay tune for the next episode of the "As The Alleged Abenaki World Turns".
I have to laugh some more.
