Raymond Lussier of the Nulhegan Group Part 1

NOW, let us examine a bit of what's happened in Vermont, (and New Hampshire etc) that actually MIRRORS what the author Mr. Darryl Leroux, has also detected within the Provinces of Canada ... using the varied communications over the years by Carollee Reynolds and Raymond Lussier:

Having done A LOT of genealogical research over the previous 20 years, and working this data of these VT/NH/MA groups and some of the more publicly-mentioned-members of their incorporation memberships, I began to detect that the ONLY Native ancestry that was objectively identified (genealogically speaking), were in the 1600's, usually the early to mid portion of that century for a lot of those claiming to be Vermont's "Abenaki"

Native Descendant Charting on the Vermont or N.H. "Abenaki"

Open this folder (above) up on your computer and seriously review the varied players, actors, and race shifters I have shown therein each WORD doc, of their direct line descendancy from a KNOWN historically-documented Native ancestor. Usually that Native Ancestor was identified as the following:

1. Roch Manintoubeouich / Manitouabeouich & Outchibabhanoukoneau (HURON)
2. Catherine (nee: Pillard) Charon
3. Marie Kakesik8k8e Mite8ameg8k8e aka Mitcominqui
4. Jeanne Gisis Bahmahmaadjimiwin Nipissirinienne 
5. Henri Membertou
6. Ots Toch 
7. Marie Etisineskasat (Indian)
8. Madeleine Tegoussi (Indian)

Usually the pseudo "Abenaki" descendant in Vermont and or New Hampshire is 9 to 16 generations down, from said Algonquian or Huron Native Ancestor as listed above. None of these 1-8 are Abenakis.

There are no discernable interaction(s) detected of the descendants of 1-8, being involved IN Native Community, or marrying into Native People's since that first marriage between that particular FRENCH person and a Native spouse. Let alone any language speakers thereof. It's like (for example) Roch and his wife, had a daughter, Marie, who was brought into and raised by a Frenchman, Olivier Tardiff, then married a Frenchman Martin Prevost, and its FRENCH MARRIAGES all the way down into Vermont. No Community of Abenaki, No Abenaki Language etc. The descendant in post-1975 decided to do a genealogical mapping of their ancestry, might have heard there was Indian in the family somewhere, discovers this one Native couple in the 1600's, gets curious, joins an incorporation, gets a membership card, and becomes a Vermont "Abenaki" overnight. Then later, that incorporation gains State recognition, and now the descendant becomes a Vermont "Abenaki" with benefits.

I'd like folks to PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to No. #18, ... a Raymond "Palm-Reading" Lussier, because he comes into play with what Darryl Leroux has addressed in his recent book / and varied interviews and presentations.

Darryl Leroux, the Book Distorted Descent, and the Vermont "Abenaki" "Tribes" in N'dakinna

First, and from the onset, I want to thank Mr. Darryl Leroux for his timely research and book, recently published, entitled "Distorted Descent: White Claims to Indigenous Identity" ... It is very much a NEEDED evaluation on the dynamics of Race Shifting, from "white" to "Native American on dubious subjective "evidence" as well as because of a remote/distant Native ancestor in one's ancestry.

Distorted Descent examines a social phenomenon that has taken off in the twenty-first century: otherwise white, French descendant settlers in Canada shifting into a self-defined “Indigenous” identity. This study is not about individuals who have been dispossessed by colonial policies, or the multi-generational efforts to reconnect that occur in response. Rather, it is about white, French-descendant people discovering an Indigenous ancestor born 300 to 375 years ago through genealogy and using that ancestor as the sole basis for an eventual shift into an “Indigenous” identity today.

After setting out the most common genealogical practices that facilitate race shifting, Leroux examines two of the most prominent self-identified “Indigenous” organizations currently operating in Quebec. Both organizations have their origins in committed opposition to Indigenous land and territorial negotiations, and both encourage the use of suspect genealogical practices. Distorted Descent brings to light to how these claims to an “Indigenous” identity are then used politically to oppose actual, living Indigenous peoples, exposing along the way the shifting politics of whiteness, white settler colonialism, and white supremacy.
