The Point Is This:
If "Old" Peter Phillips was "identified" as "COLORED" (which was written "over" White on the Death Certificate in 1906), and his 1st wife Delia (nee: Bone/ Benway/ Benware) was also "identified" as "COLORED"....then it does not indicate they were identified "at-the-time-of-their death's" as "Indians" or "Native Americans" or as "Abenakis"
In the next following generation and thereafter, all the way down generationally-speaking to Donald Warren Stevens, Jr. the descendants were are "identified and/ or were identifying" as having "WHITE" ethnicity.
White + White = White
COLORED + COLORED
doesn't equal
Abenaki
or Indian
either
!!
OK, now onto the next posting to SHOW-and-PROVIDE the answers as to WHY and HOW Mr. Frederick Matthew Wiseman PhD got possession of a "Digital Image" of Antoine Phillips, Jr" and has "indicated/ said as he as has" in his work entitled, "Decolonizing the Abenaki: A Methodology for Detecting Vermont Tribal Identity".
