Koasek Newsletter December 2009 Pages 14 through 16; Etc:

Document 01: Page 14 of the Koasek Inc. Newsletter dated December 2009 received by Douglas Lloyd Buchholz via email attachment from Eric Floyd of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. "NH Bill to Create a NA Affairs Commission. Two weeks ago, I (Paul Bunnell Co-Chief or Sub-Chief of this Koasek Inc. "group") attended a meeting of the New Hampshire Native American Intertribal Affairs hosted by Bill and Sherry Gould at their home to promote a united front for the support of Representative Carr's Bill to create a Native American Commission for the State of New Hampshire. Others in attendance were, Peter Newell performing the outreach, Liz Charlebois (who rents from and lives adjacent to Bill and Sherry Gould), Denise and Paul Pouliot (who reside not even a half an hour away from Bill and Sherry Gould's home and also Denise has been learning Ash and Sweetgrass Basketmaking from Sherry Gould via a Grant recently). Other New Hampshire groups will be notified and asked for their support of the worthwhile Bill. The New Hampshire Native American Intertribal Council has supported this goal for at least ten years. The March 2007 meeting with Gov. Lynch (Nancy Millette-Doucet has often talked of this March 2007 Meeting) to try and create an order to form a commission on Native American affairs. I have copies of these minutes if anyone wants to see them."

Document 03: Page 16 of the Koasek Inc. Newsletter December 2009. "Recognition by the Native Nation Antaya. We are extremely proud of our new relationship with our cousins in the north from the citizens of the Native Nation Antaya at St. Georges de Beauce, Quebec. Chief Dominique Cote has many genealogical lines the same as many our......" (Eric Floyd of Pittsfield, Massachusetts did not send me Pages 17 onward of this particular Koasek Newsletter but suffice it to say that I have further documents on this particular Mr. Eric Floyd who was also created and promoted by Howard Franklin Knight Jr. as being a "Chief" Runningdeer, and Chief of the alleged Deer Clan; etc.)

Document 04 and 05: Some attachments that were sent to me by an Anonymous Email Sender. I have much more on this Koasek Incorporated "group" that I will be putting on the blog, both in email format and of genealogically sourced records. By the way, Elwin "Joe" Pero was not his real birth given name. It was Elwin Merle Pero. Again, this "group" is NOT a Band, NOR a Tribe. They, like all of them in Vermont and or New Hampshire are merely I-N-C-O-R-P-O-R-A-T-I-O-N-S. Nothing more than that.

Genealogically speaking, I will be putting on this Blog the documentations from Vermont Vital Records, etc. as time allows. Which I have ALOT of time......

Again, this alleged and reinvented "Abenaki Corn" is fake, fraudulant and manipulated. 300 years and allegedly NO Abenaki that is documented has retained, obtained or grown this alleged Abenaki corn (?) and now since 2006 it suddenly re-appears out of nowhere, with the likes of Nancy Millette-Doucet smiling for the camera's, Etc.

I do not buy into this Koasek Corn Hole-O of the Koasek "story".

HB 1610-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT establishing a New Hampshire commission on Native American affairs and recognizing the Abenaki and other American Indian residents as a minority population in the state of New Hampshire.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Cultural Resources states this bill may increase state restricted revenue by an indeterminable amount in FY 2010 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or on state, county, or local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Cultural Resources states this bill establishes a New Hampshire commission on Native American affairs. While the commission will be administratively attached to the Department of Cultural Resources, the Department states this will not cause an increase in cost as a result. The bill authorizes the newly established commission to accept any gifts, grants, or donations from any public or private source, provided that such gifts, grants, or donations shall be used exclusively to advance the commission’s purpose and duties. The Department states this authorization may lead to an increase in state restricted revenues in FY 2010 and each year thereafter.

NOTE: In the Paul Wilson Pouliot email notification to my person, I have added my commentary into the email (in red) before changing the document from Microsoft WORD into a PDF, and then into a JPEG to place the documented email onto this blog.

Obviously, there is a definitve legalistic Legislative "push" in both Vermont's Legislature and also that of New Hampshire in early 2010, by these various alleged and reinvented self proclaiming "Abenaki" / Cowasuck, Koasek, etc "groups" to gain official State Recognition specifically for their "groups". But where is their genealogical, historical, and social histories being reviewed, evaluated and studied ~ so as to make sure that legally "ethnic genocide", and appropriating a culture identity that may not belong to these person's/ groups/ alleged Bands or Tribes/ groups does not happen?

Are the Vermont and or New Hampshire Legislative Representatives and Governors Office's actually dealing with bonefide documentarily identified and proven Abenaki descendants? Or are they simply being bombarded by person(s) or groups who have appropriated and then Incorporated names against the legitimate Abenaki ancestors that are "here"? THINK ABOUT IT.

I have only to say to the State's of Vermont and New Hampshire.....Be Forewarned. Read the BIA Reports, Read the contents and commentary on this Blog, do the math, do the homework, before anyone steps into something, they cannot step out of.

5 that the tribe has had an historic presence in Vermont.
6 (3) Is recognized by other Native American communities.

NO GENEALOGICAL EVIDENCE OF ANY OF THESE GROUPS BEING CONNECTED TO THE ABENAKI PEOPLE IS REQUIRED (?).

Apparently, no one in the Legislature bothered to review and evaluate the BIA Report Conclusion regarding the "group" up in Swanton, Vermont which is led by April St. Francis-Merrill.

WHY NOT?! Is the Legislative Representative's so stupidly blind, and foolish as to NOT investigate, review, and evaluate the genealogical, historical and social merits of these "groups" claiming to being Abenaki? Apparently, they could care less, if the State of Vermont gets hood-winked by a bunch of deceivers, liars, manipulators and imposters! Apparently, the State of Vermont would rather deal with FRAUDS, FAKES, and WANNABE'S rather than deal with legitimate bonefide documented real Abenaki descendants that have lived in Vermont for well over a hundred + years! Can anyone say (to name just a few) O'bomsawin, Watso, Benedict, Masta, Laurent, etc.?! These families were NOT "hiding in plain sight"! No, they were NOT. Nor were they in the Eugenics Program of Vermont, N.H., or Maine either! Yet, they were REAL Abenakis who were and are clearly documented throughout history and so on. THINK ABOUT IT.
