Nancy Lee (Millette) Cruger - Lyons - Doucet LOOKING as if to appear as though she were a relative of the Watso - Sadoques Family Odanak Abénakis of Keene, New Hampshire; etc.
Marie (Watso) M'Sadoques
Odanak Abénakis
Keene, New Hampshire
Nancy Lee (Millette) Cruger - Lyons - Doucet who created the Koasek "Abenaki" group in 2006, hijacking the identity of not only the historical Koasek Abénakis but also attempted arrogantly to mimic in Nancy looking like in appearance to that of the late Marie (Watso) M'Sadoques of the Odanak Abénakis residing in Keene, New Hampshire.
Clearly, in the video by Vera Longtoe Sheehan, of the Elnu group, Vera herself placed both Marie (Watso) Sadoques (1854-1934) and Nancy together, with the late Mali (Mason) Keating (1931-2001) holding the photo of her maternal grandmother
Do you SEE how the Pretendian attempts to appear as if they have "legitimacy"?
Nancy Lee (Millette) had no Abénaki Ancestry whatsoever.
Yet here, she herself and Vera Sheehan have attempted to deceive the naive public.
IMPLYING that she had implied ancestry to the Watso Sadoques Family.
Here's yet another EXAMPLE of perpetuated deceitfulness and lies to the naive NH Public audience:
TRANSLATION OF CLIP ...
Audience question: How did you personally decide that that's what you're going to do?
Liz: that's a great question.
How did I personally decide that I was going to make baskets? parrots Liz of the audience member's question, back to the audience.
Quote: I'm Abenaki I was raised as an Abenaki I always knew that baskets were a good part of our heritage.
My mother [Linda "Willow" Greene] is not a basket maker ... so that in itself is kind of unique, because generally, the art form is passed through families. An elder lady who was a basket maker [Jeanne Deforge Brink] and she learned from an elder lady, [Sophie Nolett from and of Odanak] who was a basket maker ON OUR RESERVE ...
I really loved the baskets and I decided I wanted to learn.
So I took two one-year apprenticeships through the State Council of the Arts with this woman and it made me a master basket maker (smiles) ... so now I have my first apprentice ... my daughter messes around with it now too.
SOURCE: "Weaving Traditions of the Abenaki Nation" per the presentation at the Nashua Historical Society, presented in 2014 at The Nashua Historical Society in Nashua, New Hampshire.
Liz Charlebois became an ash-and-sweetgrass, basket maker as an ADULT. Because she has to appear as if she is an "Abenaki". Her father had a Mazipskwik Traditional Abenaki Band Card, and such group was a spun-off SPLINTER GROUP from Homer St. Francis' group in the mid-1990s (aft. 1995).
During this program, she claims she is an Abenaki, but negated mentioning that her basket-making teacher was Jeanne (Deforge) Brink of Barre, VT, who learned in her later years from Odanak Abenaki basket maker Sophie Nolett. WHY is that omitted from her lips to the audience she is presenting to?
And WHY is she clearly INFERRING to the audience that HER Reserve is Odanak? When it NEVER was.
Apparently, this is how appropriators and race shifters roll in the Northeast, assuming no one is listening?
Anyway, I am putting this out there to the public, as an educational piece. IF she isn't a member or citizen of Odanak, WHY was she saying she was?
Another EXAMPLE of deceitfulness and lies:
"Abenaki" Professor Fred Wiseman still claims his paternal grandmother was an Abenaki Indian from Pigeon Hill, Quebec, Canada. Clearly, his paternal grandmother was 100% percent WHITE French-Canadian whose ancestors go back to FRANCE.
Dr. Frederick Matthew Wiseman, Ph.D. himself has helped manifest other like-minded race shifters in the Whitest State of the Union of these United States to "become Abenaki" in order to Play Indian post-1975. Wiseman is just another ethnic identity thief against the Abénakis. An academic wolf in sheep's wool if one does a scratch and sniff test genealogically. His narrative is a ruse, decolonization becomes appropriation. ONLY when he was attending his late father's funeral did he witness the Ouimet family's French-Canadian descendants dressed up Pan-Indian and said, "My paternal grandmother's people were Ouimet's, so if they are claiming to be Abenaki then so won't I" and Homer got another stooge to "legitimize" the group of race shifters to both academia and politician and public naive gawker alike in Vermont.
And more deceit and lies:
Mr. Richard Holschuh, the 340-years-later descendant of Germain Doucet, claiming that he is of Indigenous heritage because Mr. Doucet was somehow Mi'Kmaw and from the Mi'Kmaq tribe in the early 1600s.
He claims as he is a member of the registered 501(c)3 of the Elnu Abenaki, Inc.'d that they receive NO BENEFITS from the fraudulent state of Vermont recognition. This is a FALSEHOOD, a lie, and a deceitful statement to the Vermont public. Take a look at their IRS 990 Forms. Do a simple google search.
In fact, when a group of Pretendians such as that of Vermont's "tribes" is recognized by the state, it opened them up to scholarships, healthcare assistance, and created lines of communication with local and state governments, INCLUDING some Federal Agencies too.
True, they do not get the same benefits as the federal tribes such as monthly payments and government to government communication. But they do get direct access to Federal Block Grants.
In 2023, Peter Welch visited the Swanton, VT group which gained a $500,000 FEDERAL GRANT provided by the Northern Border Regional Commission that would help pay for construction costs related to the Abenaki project. Estimated to cost roughly $1.3 million to complete, "Maquam Bay of Missisquoi" (formerly Abenaki Self-Help Association, Inc.'d) expected to use the funds to flip an old trolley garage standing in the back lot of the Abenaki of Missisquoi Food Shelf.
This is just a single mention of the BENEFIT$ these 4 groups are getting in Vermont alone. I am not even including all the grants and monies and donations to these groups in Vermont and New Hampshire.
Now listen to Rich Holschuh IMPLY they do not get benefit$ from their fraudulent state recognition!
Bruchac's and Don Stevens of the Nulhegan Rants and So On in 2024.
Complaints of confirmation bias and fuel racist hate speech?
It's a SIMPLE QUESTION.
Bruchac's:
"Is it our story to tell? Search for your own ancestors (if you're actively policing someone else's genealogy, you're doing it wrong). Unless someone hires you to help them search for their ancestors, that's their story to research and tell.
In addition to the stated above, it is essential to realize that crowd-sourced non-academic sites like Wikipedia and Ancestry allow members to add their "facts." Although they have some "safeguards," heavily biased and untrue information often gets through."
Confirmation bias (also confirmatory bias, myside bias, or congeniality bias) is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior BELIEFS or values.
First off, the Bruchac's, years ago, were published in newspapers, as stating that Carol (Worthen) Bruchac's ancestry was merely ENGLISH.
For over 50 years + there was not a peep or squeak by the Bruchac son's or her husband Joe. about HER ancestry being other than derived from EUROPEANS.
WHY all of-a-sudden does Joseph Bruchac bring up Louis Cook and that of Timothy Bedel and Susannah (Willard) Johnson on that blog? Bait? Dangling a carrot? Or do the Bruchac's realize that their narrative about their Louis Bowman not work anymore for their "Abenaki" "legitimacy" so they have to go on other genealogically fishing expeditions, scrounging around in their ancestral garbage cans looking for any scrap of ancestral 'proximity and associations' to the Abenakis in order to "legitimize" the Bruchac's themselves.
Bruchac's have no Abenaki ancestry. Bowman's have no Abenaki ancestry. Neither did Carol (Worthen), Joe's wife, and mother to her own two son's James and Jesse ...
It's NOT about "Indigenous" or "Native American" or "Indian" descent.
It is about the FACT that the Bruchac's have no Abenaki Ancestry. It's NOT about their ancestors proximity or associations or captivity of two months by the historical Abenakis either.
Bowman's On The Record September 2015 THIS is "confirmation bias" perpetuated by the one who is accusing other's of confirmation bias and "fueling racist hate speech".
Be MINDFUL to the ways in which Pretendians / Race Shifters speak and write. They do in fact, deceive, lie by omission, and play trickery with the language they use, intentionally with their usage of particular words.
Case in point: an OPINION "hit" piece in which Donald Warren Stevens Jr. of the 2004 concocted Pretendian group, the Nulhegan Coosuk group (that came out of the Clan of the Hawk Pretendians by deceit and lies and extractions) claims that Darryl Leroux and other experts have inaccurate information.
Does not the chief of the Nulhegan, formerly a member of the Swanton, VT-based St. Francis-Sokoki group, not realize that Leroux has simply cited the State's own published findings on group of Pretendians he himself was formerly a member of, from Eve Jacobs-Carnahan commissioned by the Attorney General's Office of Vermont in 2002? Or how about the Bureau of Federal Acknowledgement Dept. of the B.I.A.'s Proposed Findings of November 2015 and subsequent Final Decision of July 2017?
Or the THOUSANDS of documents from within these groups, including email communication(s) etc., membership lists, and cards, Youtube videos, newspaper articles, etc., that Donald Warren Stevens Jr. seems to FORGET ABOUT pertaining to his group and that of the group he formerly belongs to.
Don "Juan" LOVES to use that word "uplift" but behind closed doors, he's "tearing down" Odanak and anyone else to disagrees with his beliefs, that he's an Abenaki.
Actually Leroux as does Christopher Roy, both fine academic scholars, have an understanding (awareness) of the Vermont Abenaki Experience and both have experience in doing this type of research. So what if Don "Juan" Stevens Jr. has their own "experts" like Sherry (Blanchard) Gould or Randy Kritkausky, a retired academic, who promote Pretendians and Race Shifting Vermont "Abenaki".
The documents from WITHIN these groups etc have been OUTSOURCED, and academics are LOOKING AT and REVIEWING the merits of these Vermont "Abenaki" right along with the genealogies of those claiming to be "Abenaki" by the THOUSANDS today. Don Stevens touts the narrative that his maternal grandmother Lillian/ Pauline / Delia was "hiding" for fear of Eugencial Sterilization in her lifetime, yet this narrative has been debunked.
Importantly, Don "Juan" implies that the Eugenics SURVEY Records were State Records, That such records "clearly shows that his Phillips family were Indians." He likes to point at those records as PROOF but that is also debunked 100%. Those insinuations inside the VES study of the Phillips Family were merely subjective claims made by those descendants "passing" as having implied ancestors allegedly of the Caughnawaga Mohawk Indians .... NOT ABENAKIS. And we know about the Kickapoo Identity Hijacking in Danville, Vermont back in the day, by Gypsy Devil Jake Way of Paradise Alley along with some of the Phillips' too.
Mr. Don Stevens, in his OPINION "hit" Piece against Odanak and Leroux et al. simply doesn't address the nagging questions. HOW are they of the Nulhegan group or any other ACTUALLY ABENAKIS when they have been undocumented being Abenakis for over 300 years?! They are in FACT documented as French-Canadian or Black Descendants in those 300 years. Genetic testing proves this out 100%.
Richard "Skip" Bernier testifying on his own behalf, nor Timothy De LaBruere or even Jeanne (Deforge) Brink ever officially testified or acted on the behalf of Odanak First Nation. Don Stevens Jr. KNOWS this. Stevens is lying because I have the documentation.
Again it s not about "Native" ancestry. I know that Don Stevens descends from a "Native" ancestor.
Or "Native American" or "Indian" or "Indigenous". What Don "Juan" omits from his diatribe of a VTDigger opinion "hit" piece is that they are NOT ABENAKI DESCENDANTS, they do not descend objectively from ANY KNOWN ABENAKI HISTORICAL COMMUNITY OR TRIBE OR NATION.
NOR does he actually have ABENAKI ANCESTORS. Marie Sylvestre was an ALGONQUIN HURON. But like Sherry (Blanchard) Gould and a THOUSAND other Pretendians, they have turned Marie Sylvestre Prevost into an "Abenaki" for their own purposes and agendas. Just as Rhonda (Besaw) Grimes - True has attempted to do, in their lust for personal and political "legitimacy".
Taken in part or in whole, Don Stevens really hasn't proven objectively anything. He omits that he was on the Board of Directors as a member of the Homer St. Francis Sr. group in Swanton, Vermont, and that he jumped over to the Nulhegan "as chief" in 2010 so as to manipulate the VCNAA being "stacked" with these Pretendians so they could grant themselves approval of their own group's petitions for fraudulent state recognition. That it was NON ABENAKI Pretendian/ Johnson State College Professor Frederick M. Wiseman who had constructed those petitions. That these groups had Odanak descendants within their ranks, which provided the pseudo "legitimacy" of these groups of Pretendian "Abenakis" / race shifters.
Homer's group: Jeanne (Deforge) Brink (Obomsawin), John Sherwin, Mali Keating (Sadoques) et al.
Elnu group: Ron and Norm Sadoques (Sadoques) et al.
Koasek group: Trudy (Call) Parker (Toxus) et al.
Nulhegan group: Raymond Norbert Bernier (Obomsawin) et al. (Skip Bernier's brother)
Of whom, NONE of these people had the ability to gain First Nation's STATUS at Odanak, from when their Abenaki ancestors came from, back into Vermont and other states!
Who's genealogies did these group's point to for their "legitimacy" to those Vermont politicians, in order to shit all over Richard "Skip" Bernier and other actual Abénakis from or of Odanak First Nation?!
That's what Don Stevens omits in his diatribe rant of "legitimacy" in the recent VTDigger OPINION "hit" piece.
ALSO Be ATTENTIVE to the institutional agencies in which give the DECEIT and LIES room to flourish without qualification, and objective evidence. These agencies and institutions, including some within Native Communities and persons who ALSO often prop up and promote Pretendians to the point of "protecting" the dynamics that afflict those same Native communities.
Joseph Edward Bruchac III
INSISTING
that his Grandfather Jesse Elmer Bowman
and his Great-Grandfather Louis Bowman
were Abenakis. 😂
Really? Cause where I am sitting, having done the research ...
Just like I done "Buffy's" research on her lies ...
and gave my research to CBC Canada
I have also been doing the research too on the Bowman's, the Vaudry's and the Bruchac's...
Y-DNA results and Genealogical Documents
SHOW OBJECTIVELY otherwise.
Notre Dame de Granby Parish, Shefford County, Québec, Canada:
English: June 11th, eighteen hundred and forty-five, we the priest undersigned have baptized Louis, born July 20th, eighteen hundred and forty four, at/of Ely, of unknown parents.
Godparents: Louis Sénécal (maternal grandfather) and Josephte Vincent (dit Jarret) (maternal grandfather's second wife), who could not sign.
The Roman Catholic priest who signed this particular baptism record was Jean-Fleury Baudrand.
Jean-Pierre Beaudry matches multiple Louis (1844-1918) Bowman descendants in AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, 23&Me and Family Tree DNA.
Since January 2016, having tested Robert H. Bowman, we have tested the Y-DNA and evaluating the atDNA (autosomal) results over days, weeks, months and years. First Robert matched at M269, with no results on the Y-DNA. But one day, he matched to PWS Vaudry. That tester and I communicated, evaluated respective genealogical paternal lineages, and I encouraged PWS Vaudry to begin a Vaudry Surname Project within FTDNA, and I began looking for other Vaudry male surnamed potential testers at my own expense. Edward Vaudry, George Vaudry and Ernest Vaudry, et al.
LeBoeuf matches to the Vaudry's because of a NPE (meaning: Non Paternal Event) happened in the 1700s between a male Vaudry and a female LeBoeuf in Quebec, Canada.
So when the Bruchac's INSIST that their Great Grandfather Louis (1844-1918) Bowman was an Abenaki, and that his son Jesse Elmer Bowman was an Abenaki too, PAUSE for a minute or two, review what I just shared with you kind folks in America, here in this blog, what the Y-DNA of the Bowman's is telling not only the Bowman's and the general Public, but also what the Bruchac's are DENYING, as of June 10, 2024.
Now ask yourselves WHY are they in DENIAL as to the Baptismal Record and that of the DNA results?
WHY haven't the Bruchac's NOT mentioned ANY of this on their blog that began on October 01, 2023.
September 30, 2023:
October 1991: "My brother Joe and I researched Jesse Bowman's background 'because of his physical appearance and found that he was part-Native American. Ultimately, Jesse Bowman's sister-in-law (Katherine née Gray who had married Dwight E. Ritchie in 1907 and then Jesse Bowman in December 1911, and later to John Jack Bowman in November 1917) wrote a letter (to Joe) "confirming" that Jesse (her former husband Jesse as well as Jack, has been part-Native American.
How can that alleged letter be anything but subjective, probably written 'under duress & pressure', and written by allegedly Katherine, when in FACT, Louis Bowman Sr. (1844-1918) was illegitimate, of two French-Canadian parents? NOT from "St. Francis = Odanak First Nation" ...
It takes a simple GOOGLE SEARCH to collect the pieces of the puzzle ... to detect a prominent Pretendian, much like "Buffy" (Beverley Jean Santamaria). Doesn't take a rocket-scientist at all.
But DENIALISM by Pretendians is much like the denial river that Rachel Dolezal has been swimming in too.
Pretendian-ism is very much like the fraud referred to as STOLEN VALOR. It's just as damaging to Abenakis and other Native Peoples as it is to the Soldiers who fought and died, or been maimed and traumatized, who have to confront FAKE pretend people who 'dress' up and lie about their service records, if they have such in first place.
It isn't about Indigenous, or Native American, or Indian, or whatever. Bruchac's and THOUSANDS of other Pretendians DO NOT HAVE ABENAKI ANCESTORS.
Pretendians/ Race Shifters constantly be digging through their ancestral garbage cans looking for any scrap of Native ancestry, even back 200 to 340+ years ago, in the hopes of putting on an 'air' of "legitimacy" for Profit$$$$$$$$. If they find one 300+/- years ago, it's like winning the Lottery these days.
