Document 01: Letter to David Andrew Hill - Decoteau. Dated July 29, 1996. "Odanak, P.Q., Abenakis Territory Canada. Grand Chief Prince Dave Hill Decoteau, Grand Chief, in answer to yours of July 29, in the year of Christ 1996. How and who am I to declare you Grand Chief when it is your people's choice to do so. I am only the Grand Chief named by my people on the Abenakis Territory of Odanak, Canada.
But as you say so well the arrow by its speed, straightens to hit its target. Let me be honest and loyal to you great people of the Dawn. Because as the three (3) colors the bleu, the green and the red represents the land, the waters and the sunset and as long as that is in place we the people of the dawn shall be there, here on Mother Earth.
And as you say the Barbara Snelling who is lieutnant at the Attorney Office of the State of Vermont said you were the only one that gave his genealogy. So let it be said that the only proof I need is a letter of support from them the people of the dawn either by way of referendum or popular vote. Because to me you are Grand Chief Hill but to them your people, who are you? I have spoken, Grand Chief O'Bomsawin (Fire Keeper).
Document 02: Letter to David Hill from Chief Gilles O'Bomsawin. Dated Odanak, January 24, 1997. To whom it may concern: I, the undersigned, GILLES O'BOMSAWIN, recognized member of the First Nation of the Abenakis of Odanak have been in touch with Mr. Dave Hill for the last two (2) years. He has brought documents to my attention concerning his genealogy. He would be of Abenakis descendance, but he cannot be recognized by our Council because of the distant degree of the generations mentioned. The Odanak nation stops at the third generation as grandfather-father-son. Wishing I could of been of greater help, but as one (1) member only of the Odanak Nation, I cannot be more helpful. Yours truly, Gilles O'Bomsawin, member of the Odanak Nation.
Does this letter indicate or prove that David Andrew Hill Decoteau was indeed of Abenaki descent?

This document is a Fax Page dated August 27, 1997 Wednesday 7:29 WABANAKI NATION Page 01, which indicates it was in the possession of of the late (deceased)David Andrew Hill.
Seems to me the (2) two Documents 3 and 4 of this posting is indicating that Howard F. Knight Jr. merely merged (2) two Incorporations together as (1) one, and then implied that after taking the late alleged Grand Chief/ High Hereditary Chief David Hill to Supreme Court in Orleans County, Vermont, that the two of them were best of sandbox buddies!
