Document 05: Letter from Charles Delaney P.O. Box 5862 Burlington, Vermont 05402 Telephone (802) 863-6002 to Ken VanWey, Bureau of Indian Affairs Telephone (202) 208-5196. Dated February 21, 2008.
Dear Mr. VanWey,
In regards to your phone call yesterday, outlining federal penalty for basket donations to museums and manufacture of Native American crafts is erroneous and in conflict with the Vermont state law and the Vermont Abenaki Native American Commission, given their amendment bills defining Abenaki ethnic heritage pending in the Vermont state legislature with the desire to work with federal statutes in conjunction with existing state law.
As a U.S. Citizen, Vermonter, and Mazipskwik Abenaki I ask your federal Department of Native American Arts and Crafts, B.I.A., U.S. Interior Department to cease and desist in the internal affairs of the Vermont state legislature and the Vermont State Abenaki Native American Commission.
Perhaps your intentions are ethical and in a perceived higher intention, but the federal involvement in the internal affairs of state government cannot be construed from here as anything short of being political and illegal. Please let the mechanisms of democratic state government work.
Having lived in Vermont with a family history of many generations, I cannot as this time comply with your request to give names of Abenaki persons who create Native arts and crafts. Do you realize what you are doing to the Abenaki community and relations of community in Vermont?
Please advise the Vermont attorney general's office, Hon. Griffin and Hon. Bill Sorrell, that their office is welcomed to work with the Vermont State Abenaki Native American Commission to ensure the legal integrity of all needs concerned.
As your servant, I only desire the working relationship between the federal, state, and Abenaki community. I look forward to your communications and helping your office in whatever way I can.
Sincerely, Charles Delaney - Megeso
(Megeso is the noun for Eagle in the Abenaki language)
Mazipskwik Abenaki
