Namely, (1) Brianna Rae SCHMELZER (through her mother Donna Lee WASHBURN) her VOUDRY DNA via Léandre VAUDRY (1810-1875), a son of Simon's first marriage to Catherine BOYER. (2) Michael LAUZON and Jean Pierre BEAUDRY received theirs via Charles VAUDRY, Simon's son from his second marriage Catherine CHAGNON.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Based on the total of autosomal DNA segments shared between Brianna Rae SCHMELZER (through her mother Donna Lee WASHBURN) or Michael LAUZON or Jean Pierre BEAUDRY and the BOWMANs, it appears that the BOWMANs are also descendants of Charles VAUDRY. In other words, the presence of autosomal DNA from Simon VAUDRY in the Louis BOWMAN (1844-1918) lineage can only be explained by the fact that Louis BOWMAN's father was one of Simon VAUDRY's sons. The fact that the autosomal DNA of Michael LAUZON, Jean Pierre BEAUDRY and the BOWMANs all converge onto son Louis Pierre “Charles” VAUDRY (1820-1896) strongly supports that Charles VAUDRY was also the genetic-contributing father of Louis BOWMAN (1844-1918).</p><p style="text-align: left;">The equation must take into account the fact that the BOWMAN men have the Y chromosome (yDNA) of the VAUDRY men who descend from Jacques VAUDRY (1636-1688) m. 1661 Jeanne RENAUD (1642-1714), which line includes descendants of Simon VAUDRY. This signature has been triangulated at <a href="https://bit.ly/46c7Uwr" target="_blank"><b>https://bit.ly/46c7Uwr</b></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Please note that the yDNA signature of the BOWMAN descendants of Louis BOWMAN (whose mother was Marie Élisabeth (Sophié) SÉNÉCAL dite LAFRAMBOISE and whose father was Charles VAUDRY) differs from those of the English-speaking BOWMANs of Great Britain and the British colonies <a href="https://bit.ly/43LiMjg" target="_blank"><b>https://bit.ly/43LiMjg</b></a>. It differs as well from that of some French-Canadian BEAUDRYs (the yDNA signature of Toussaint BEAUDRY m 1670 Barbe BARBIER, can be found at <a href="https://bit.ly/3JdxY0A" target="_blank"><b>https://bit.ly/3JdxY0A</b></a>).</p><p style="text-align: left;">The yDNA signature of this VAUDRY/BOWMAN line of men has a clear European origins, and absolutely no pre-Columbian Amerindian ones.</p><p style="text-align: left;">In conclusion, the documentary information compiled by Douglas Lloyd Buchholz, as well as the results of the multiple DNA tests carried out by relatives of the VAUDRYs and the BOWMANs, clearly demonstrate that one of Simon VAUDRY's sons -- most likely Charles -- was the biological father of Louis/Lewis BOWMAN (1844-1918), from whom descend the BOWMANs tested in the present study.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Jacques P.

Genetic DNA results and Genealogy PROVE OBJECTIVELY that they are not. Indeed the Bruchac's obtained "Abenaki" membership cards from Homer beginning in 1978, and thereafter, claiming to be Missisquoi (St. Francis-Sokoki) "Abenaki" members of the group led by Homer St. Francis Sr. and later, stating they were Nulhegan membership card-holders of that group which was merely formed in 2004, first led by Luke Andrew Willard, and later, Don Stevens Jr., obviously for the benefits and "legitimacy"...</p><p>As <b>pathological "Abenaki" Pretendians</b>, the Bruchac's in essence, pulled their loving grandfather Jesse Bowman out of his grave, and stuck a feather in his grandfather's scalp. It didn't matter what the REALITY and TRUTH of his grandfather Jesse, and great-grandfather Louis's histories were. Because Bruchac changed his grandfather's ethnicity, posthumously, and used his grandpa's life experiences and <b>rebranded Jesse Bowman into an "Abenaki". ... </b>making a career out of the lies he spewed about his Grandpa.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4iZWWcdmKAs" width="320" youtube-src-id="4iZWWcdmKAs"></iframe></div><p><i>"Well, I'm a person of mixed ancestry. I was raised by my grandparents, who were actually on the English and American Indian side.</i></p><p><i>My grandfather, Jesse, was Abenaki Indian but was one of those people who in his generation did not talk about being Native American.</i></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">Question: Why was Louis and his son, Jesse Bowman (and siblings) all "hiding" their alleged Abénaki ancestry, heritage etc in lil' old Porters Corner all of his life, from the time they were born til the time they up and died in 1970, and yet THOUSANDS of Mohawks and A LOT of Abénakis derived from Odanak First Nation, living in New York, were not hiding anything about themselves being Mohawks and or Abénakis? Was Jesse Bowman really ever in Vermont? We know that Warren and Flossie Bowman went to Rutland County, Vermont in their lifetimes, and we know that their father Louis went into Vermont as well for a time, before he went to Troy, NY and eventually stayed in Porters Corners, Saratoga County, New York ca. 1870s. Yet, Louis came out of Granby, Quebec. All of his children were born in Saratoga County, New York. So what pray tell, would have caused Jesse Bowman to deny his alleged Abénaki father Louis Bowman = O'Bomsawin narrative? Because it was a lie created by Joseph Bruchac?! The narrative of Jesse Bowman having to hide being Native American, while Mohawk's and Abénakis in the state could not, seems on the merits, to yet another fallacy of Bruchac's. And why is that the Bowman's are not historically known, and I mean Louis nor his descendants, documented on any First Nations records. Many have bought into the myth that the reservations in the USA, and First Nations reserves in Canada did not keep written records but how they forget that Native People's had missions that did! Since 1675! </span></p><p><i>About as far as he would go would be to talk about things like the fact that he left school in fourth grade because they kept calling him <b>a dirty Indian </b>and so he jumped out the window and, as he put it, never come back again.</i></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">Yes, going straight for the stereotypes. Joe picked this up and applied it to his grandfather, to make his grandfather BECOME an Indian, I surmise, AFTER Jesse Bowman had died.</span></p><p><i>His wife, my grandmother, was a highly literate woman, a graduate of what later became Skidmore College and had a house full of books.</i></p><p><i>And her ancestry, she proudly traced it back to the Mayflower, although there's some interesting things about that ancestry too, which are uncertain, but really somewhat colored as you might say.</i></p><p><i>On my dad's side of the family it's Slovak from a little place called – or not so little community called Trnava in Slovakia, not far from Bratislava.</i></p><p><i>And as a child I was aware of these ancestries, but wasn't really given a lot of information about them.</i></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>[How could Joe Bruchac III be aware of the Bowman ancestry of his grandfather Jesse' paternal father's ancestors, when in fact, Jesse Bowman's father was illegitimate at birth according to the June 11, 1845 Baptismal Record recorded in the parish of Notre Dame de Granby, Quebec, Canada?]</i></span></p><p><i>I was kind of in a state of ethnic denial because the Slovak side wanted you to be good Americans, and the Native American side wanted you to fit in with everybody else and not draw attention.</i></p><p><i>And then the English side, which is sort of there and not really paying much attention to history.</i></p><p><i>It was a period when I was born in 1942, during the war and after the war, of sort of American triumphalism and people wanting to think of the melting pot as really being a positive thing."</i></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">For having a loving grandfather, who raised his grandson "Sonny" ... Jesse Bowman sure did not end up not having a loving grandson IMHO. I mean, who would do this to their grandfather and ancestors? Jesse Bowman NEVER claimed to be an Abenaki, nor did that grandfather have any Abenaki culture, language or stories of the Abénakis. Oh that's right, they were all hiding-in-plain-sight according to Marge. Yet, Louis Bowman (1844-1918) NEVER was born or even in Odanak First Nation.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkaU-8vqgRtleTmgVjIlmvpooU7pfHQSz3ywmhqxvJXKbRY1FdKduzbN4NLrHejrQFQIK3HuVWpsQVc1Zgh85bqzelKGQnUX7a0ug-Sa69Rsf4wGq2J7y7f31O_cG6rleRVgMSoaQ2lli0qTbzI_UYBOBiw7hEIlTTFUtXlDRKhdcUWqZHzjmTRDCbSjlZ/s1579/Jack%20Lynch%20Post%20March%2007%202002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="1579" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkaU-8vqgRtleTmgVjIlmvpooU7pfHQSz3ywmhqxvJXKbRY1FdKduzbN4NLrHejrQFQIK3HuVWpsQVc1Zgh85bqzelKGQnUX7a0ug-Sa69Rsf4wGq2J7y7f31O_cG6rleRVgMSoaQ2lli0qTbzI_UYBOBiw7hEIlTTFUtXlDRKhdcUWqZHzjmTRDCbSjlZ/w400-h176/Jack%20Lynch%20Post%20March%2007%202002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Jack Lynch (Joseph and Marge Bruchac's brother-in-law) even on March 07, 2002 stated, </span><i style="text-align: left;">"There presently is a family group from this line that is circulating unfounded genealogical information for their personal economic benefit, so be careful."</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5YQDNoNmn3LqOWYq6VnRoXlBY9WsrHOdlkmDgnGgM5rpjziVzspO5rGJ6tpx28X8YGVoMhyphenhyphen5rjQuq5DH8UQ7cKell0o2PZx4LQSsUQY2XcGsvjYW9MnqLh_9OExI_fTL7G3L4Z978Ih6uBdWKyfCrJeaMhOWdOLv0mUotalIZ0l_wi-Ml4ojUdG6Xf4qe/s2272/DSCN2361.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1704" data-original-width="2272" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5YQDNoNmn3LqOWYq6VnRoXlBY9WsrHOdlkmDgnGgM5rpjziVzspO5rGJ6tpx28X8YGVoMhyphenhyphen5rjQuq5DH8UQ7cKell0o2PZx4LQSsUQY2XcGsvjYW9MnqLh_9OExI_fTL7G3L4Z978Ih6uBdWKyfCrJeaMhOWdOLv0mUotalIZ0l_wi-Ml4ojUdG6Xf4qe/w640-h480/DSCN2361.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Louis (1844-1918) Bowman was NEVER the child of Francois-Louis O'Bomsawin (1801-1888) and Agnes-Anne (Onlinass).

Suffice to say, that the Baptismal record of June 11, 1845 when he was 10 months of age, provided confirmation that his parents were Louis Senecal dit Laframboise and Marie Elisabeth (Benoit dite Livernois). Even though neither parent of the 10-month-old boy, was mentioned in the baptismal, his mother was indeed Marie Elisabeth 'Sophie' Senecal dite Laframboise born in 1810 per her own baptismal record in 1815 (in Notre Dame du Rosaire Parish) and who died in 1901 in (Ste.

Robert Bowman is currently a confirmed Haplogroup R-FT94529, in France. The Vaudry lineage predominately was located in and around Lamberville, Normandy, France ca. 1600s until Jacques Vaudry immigrated into what has become Canada at Trois-Rivières, Quebec, having married there in 1661 to Jeanne Renaud.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I explain some of these developments and findings in the above file folders as well in the above URL's, so I won't bore anyone with that data explanation.

Bowman, and neither was Louis (1844-1918) Bowman, let alone, Joe's sister, retired Penn State PhD Margaret "Marge" Bruchac either. </p><p>The Van Antwerp lineage of which Jesse E. Bowman descended maternally, has one single Ots-Toch, "the Mohawk Indian Princess" (much like Pocahontas) in the 1600s and seemingly a lineage that descends from a Montauk Indian ancestress as well, also in the 1600s. Consistently, the Van Antwerp's were identifying themselves as White European descendants, and they were not intermarrying back into Native Community, though the daughters of Ots-Toch were Mohawk interpreters. The descendants married into White families, not Indian families. The Dunham's were consistently White identifying, derived from White families as well, and were seemingly a 'well-to-do' progeny of which Jesse E. Bowman (1886-1970) married into, (after having married Katherine (Gray) Bowman in Dec. 1911 and having (seemingly) four children with him). </p><p>Resulting in a divorce in a Special Session of the Court in November 1917, it was Katherine (Gray) 1m. Ritchie 2m. Bowman, who seems to have subsequently married a third time to Jesse's brother John Jack Bowman (1893-1973), taking her 4 children by Jesse, to be raised by his brother Jack Bowman! Whereupon Jesse Bowman remarried, into the Marion Edna Dunham family in 1917, eventually raising "Sonny" (Joseph Edward Bruchac III), son of his daughter, Marion Flora (Bowman) Bruchac (1921-1999).</p><p>END OF STORY. </p><p>I did the research, and no, it was not 'cyber-stalking' or 'bad-jacketing' as Marge Bruchac assumes. I haven't communicated with the Bruchac's (any of them) since December 2015). </p><p>It was just good old sleuthing research by someone without any credentials or PhD attached to their name, and nor was I seeking 'authority' or permission from the Bruchac's or anyone else, to do this research. Bruchac's didn't help me because they have always had something to hide (their lies and manipulations) ... while in contrast ... the Bowman's, Vaudry's and LaBeff's helped because they had something to share, and sought out the <b>reality</b> and <b>truth</b> of their ancestors.</p><p>What did Bruchac or his sister ever really know about their mother Marion's father Jesse's father Louis's ancestry (?), except what they cobbled together subjectively over the years, to their own benefit$ and profit$, that suited their own faulty beliefs and perceptions, as they respectively sought to mold themselves into Abénakis, their ancestors never were. Bruchac's certainly didn't go beyond Louis, their great-grandfather, because he was baptized illegitimate June 11, 1845 per the Notre Dame de Granby Parish records.</p><p>The research is never done, as there are a few more steps to take genetically-testing speaking, but soon it will be completed, regarding the Bowman's and the Vaudry's, from Charles, Louis's genetic-contributing father.</p><p>Bruchac's perpetuated 'Stolen Valor' tactics on Odanak First Nation, to a naive public, to benefit themselves, for anyone who would listen to their storytelling about the grandfather and great-grandfather they descend from. </p><p>With Stolen Valor, there are criminal and societal consequences; in contrast, there ought to be consequences for what he and his sister have done against Odanak First Nation, and to other Tribal Communities. </p><p>As for accusing Odanak First Nation of 'gatekeeping' Abénaki identity. They have the right, title, and interest; not to mention ancestral connections to what is now known as "Vermont" and "New Hampshire" to do so. </p><p>Whose been gatekeeping Children's literary works all these years, with hundreds of Native books in every classroom? With the "I'm an Abenaki too" blurb therein.</p><p><b>Answer: Joseph Edward Bruchac, III.</b></p><p>Whose been gatekeeping the Wampum Belts? And invited a non-Status Pretendian group of Vermont into Sotheby's Auction House, when such group (Elnu) had NO LEGAL STANDING whatsoever to be there or involved in such matters? Thus giving the Elnu group of Pretendians "legitimacy" ... Did anyone consult with Akwesasne? Did she consult with Darren Bonaparte? (Doesn't seem neither were consulted whatsoever, and I have to ask why not?)</p><p><b>Answer: Margaret "Marge" (Bruchac).</b></p><p>Whose been gatekeeping the Abénaki Language at Middlebury College, at $3,000.00 a semester? Thus giving fellow pretendians in Vermont "legitimacy". </p><p><b>Answer: Jesse Bruchac.</b></p><p>My thoughts are that any book or publication or presentation (audio or video) that implies that Joseph E. Bruchac III (and or his son's and grandchildren & Marge Bruchac) nor that Jesse Bowman or his father Louis were Abénakis" be removed from every educational institution/ agency, for the perpetuated lies that such are, IMHO. Joe Bruchac and his sister etc have sought to make themselves into Abénakis, any which way they could. The St. Francis-Sokoki Cards and now the Nulhegan Cards gave them alleged "legitimacy" that they then used and touted to a naive public audience. My question has always been WHO was Louis Bowman (1844-1918), his parentage and their ancestors, truthfully, objectively, including possible siblings, half-siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews? </p><p>Who knew actually who "Sophie" really was, or that her son Louis had two half sisters?! </p><p>I sincerely thank Bob Bowman and E. J. Bowman Sr and Jr., Mark Sherlock, Carol and Walter Jones, Bruce Geroux, and so many others for helping me. I also thank the Bruchac's themselves, for without their 'resistance' in their snark, their arrogance and denials, and storytelling about their familial roots, I would never have noticed Jack Lynch's post in Genforum or the nosorigins.qc.ca stunt by Marge, etc. </p><p>Marge insinuated that I am a cyber-stalker, and that I have lied about their Bowman ancestor Louis, but she has NOTHING to substantiate her claims.</p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>JUNE 19, 2018</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This was a very necessary critique, but it had unexpected ripple effects when Leroux expanded his theoretical grouping into the United States. Relying on a number of fraught, racially biased, non-scholarly sources - including Buchholz's website - Leroux collectively, and inaccurately, identified all of the Vermont and New Hampshire Abenaki nations as "Eastern Metis Organizations." His argument was constructed, in part, around an unauthorized anti-Vermont-Abenaki "Council Resolution" that did not actually come from the Tribal Council at Odanak First Nation.

Because the "tribe" is a bunch of WHITE People? I conclude as much.</p><p><b>Nulhegan A-3 members? What is A-3? </b></p><p><b>Answer:</b> Nulhegan's membership (so I have been told by a Vermont Nulhegan member) are merely A-3, meaning that within the group Bruchac's have no voting rights, and that (quote) Don Stevens gave the Bruchac's just something to give them a home while they complete their research". Yet, Bruchac claims he's on the Nulhegan Elder's Council. (Well, he is 80 years old ...). <b>Don Stevens (Nulhegan ... formerly of Homer's group) and the Bruchac's joined hands, in "legitimizing each other" ... go figure ...</b></p><p>Jesse Bruchac, Joe's son speaks Abenaki. That MUST make Jesse a Nulhegan Abenaki? Or does that simply give him "legitimacy" in his BECOMING an "Abenaki" to further the Bruchac agendas?</p><p>If I buy Rosetta Stone learning to speak German, does that make me a German? If I decided to wear Lederhosen when I go shopping does that make me a German? If I have the surname Buchholz, does that make me German? Perhaps naive people would conclude YES! But I am actually descended from a Seattle-based SMITH family that descended from Sweden that came over to this country in the 1630s paternally. Or better yet, I can pretend I am a Scots because of course, my birth certificate indicates my father was born in Bellshill, Scotland adjacent to Motherwell, below Glasgow eh?! But how I digress...</p><p>Oh that's right, the 4 groups in Vermont implying their groups are "tribes" based on the State of Vermont politic legislature, imply that CULTURE trumps actually CONNECTION ANCESTRALLY to the Historical Abenakis.</p><p>Why did the Bruchac's and others leave or get ousted from the Swanton-based Missisquoi St- Francis-Sokoki group led by Homer and his daughter April prior to 2009-2010? Perhaps the Bruchac's (et al) weren't getting enough benefits or "legitimacy" what with April (St. Francis) Merrill and subsequently Louise (Lampman) Larrivée and Candy (nee: Lapan) Thomas stealing $$$$$$. Too many <b>thieves</b> in one "tribe" for the comfort of the Bruchac's eh?</p><p>Did the Bruchac's too get a 'letter of deficiency' (for not having objectively proven descent from the Abenakis) from Carol (born GROMATSKI) Nepton? Or was it because they also received membership cards, due to Homer St. Francis Sr. or Mike Delaney favoring them in a dynamic of "you-pat-my-back, and Homer patted theirs", thus mutually "legitimizing" each other through the years? So the Bruchac's jumped from the one group to another, where they could get more favor, more "legitimacy" more benefits? Now they are post 2004-Nulhegan "Abenaki".</p><p>What does this say and show about the Nulhegan group formed in 2004 and their membership criteria? Or that of any of the other 5-6 "Abenaki" groups in VT-NH etc?</p><p>That they are bringing in members who are not Abenakis at all? Who are getting Vermont State benefits over other citizens of the state based on FRAUD? Because they are bringing in WHITE PEOPLE who are Playing Indian? The list is long who are members of these groups who are actually <u>NOT Abenakis</u>. That's the point isn't it? Creating FAKE "Abenaki" members ... </p><p>That the members have to objectively genealogically documented objective evidence of their descent from the Abénakis, historically? Or does implied "culture" trumps actual Abenaki descent?</p><p>Because the Bruchac's (and 99.999% percent of Vermont & New Hampshire's "Abenaki") never were Abénakis in the first place.</p><p>Genealogy and DNA Results prove this out (FINALLY) 100% percent, that Louis Bowman (1844-1918) was the child of two 100% French Canadian people. When Jesse Elmer Bowman stated he was French, he wasn't lying.</p><p>In April 2023, Joseph Bruchac, stated, <i>"Know yourself. Know your roots. Know your stories, before you begin to borrow or take someone else's."</i></p><p>Well, what has Joseph Bruchac and Marge (his sister) done but take other people's stories and made them their own. Taken someone else's roots (O'Bomsawin ancestors) and made them their own. </p><p>Of course, they have done so, because it has been quite profitable and popular to do so, and in between those lines in many spoken presentations and published books, both have declared "their grandfather Jesse Bowman and or Jesse's father Louis were Abénakis, from "St. Francis"/ Odanak" and thereby IMPLYING that Joe and Marge themselves are Abenakis, touting first their Homer Cards or now their Nulhegan Cards as "legitimacy" to their claims of Abénaki/Abenaki ethnicity.</p><p>Recently, per the September 30, 2023 in the Times Union Newspaper by Chris Churchill article entitled "Churchill: Is Joseph Bruchac truly Abenaki?" <span style="color: #cc0000;">(URL at the top of this post)</span>, Joseph Bruchac III, stated defensively, that (quote) ...</p><p><i>"Native heritage is not only about blood and ancestry"</i>. He suggested cultural membership can be learned and earned with hard work and sincere attention, comparable in some respects to his mastery of karate.</p><p><i>“Am I not a black belt because I wasn’t born as one?”</i> he asked.</p><p>Yesterday, I was reading (again) the book "<b>Becoming Indian</b>: The Struggle over Cherokee Identity in the Twenty-first Century" by Circe Sturm (© 2010), and came upon Page 140-141, and it is indeed an interesting point of view (thought) from an Eastern Band United Keetoowah Cherokee, Robert Thompson in his early 40s.</p><p>Mr. Thompson explained that "We get so many people calling for genealogy. They want to do this, and I tell them, I say "You can spend years trying to track down your ancestry to prove that you're a Cherokee. Now why don't you learn the Cherokee <b>language</b>? Why don't you learn the Cherokee <b>history</b>? Why don't you do the Cherokee <b>culture</b>? Why don't you really become Cherokee? (October 22, 2003). </p><p>In other words blood ties (genealogical descent) and their documentation have their place, but real Cherokeeness comes from walking the walk and talking the talk, both of which can be learned at almost any stage of life by anyone who claims they are Cherokee, and wants to become Cherokee. </p><p>Thompson felt that to "become Cherokee" someone must be willing to put in the hard work of learning about Cherokee history and culture.</p><p>So, in essence, becoming Cherokee or Abenaki, is today, like putting on a coat, hat, and footwear, to 'look' authentic, and pulling 'culture' from books, CDs or DVDs, museums and powwows etc. and grasping the ability to say O-Si-Yo? (Hello is O-Si-Yo in Cherokee)</p><p>Merry Cherokee Christmas Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation Chuck Hoskins Jr., my Grandmother SAID ... 😆 ... that her father-in-law <b>James Corby Woodard</b>, of Norton-Stuttgart, Phillips County, Kansas "was a Cherokee Chief" does that now make me a Cherokee too?

group, the Nulhegan, being led by Donald Warren Stevens Jr. (another Pretendian) also formerly of the group in Swanton, VT. The list of names that went from one group to another group to another group, is long than one's arm, perhaps both, over the years. It's called "Band" or "Tribe" Hopping, looking for the best bang ("legitimacy" and benefits) one can obtain from the 1970s into present. 99.99% percent of the memberships are corrupted and most aren't even descended from the Abenakis, and if any Native descendancy, that "root" ancestry is far far far away 300 years ago, in the first place. It's the .00000001% percent "tribes" of "Abenakis" pontificating to the naive public and politician alike, with their slogan "We're Still Here" ... </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Largely excluded from that political process of 2010-2012 were the Abenaki of the Odanak First Nation. Displaced across the U.S.-Canada border in the era of the American Revolution, the ancestors of the Odanak Abenaki once occupied much of northern New England. Yet Odanak held no representation on Vermont’s Commission on Native American Affairs when recognition was granted, nor was Odanak’s elected leadership permitted to testify before the Vermont Legislature during that process. Initially supportive of the Missisquoi group in the 1970s, Odanak’s leadership came to oppose Vermont recognition by 2003, and does not recognize any of Vermont’s four tribes as Abenaki.</p><p>On this tenth anniversary of state recognition, the University of Vermont welcomes the Abenaki of Odanak and their New England relatives to share their historical perspective on land they consider to be their unceded territory in and adjacent to the Green Mountain State: a homeland known as Ndakinna. Who are the Abenaki of Odanak? How have they used their homeland that became Vermont and New England since their displacement in the 18th century? What does recognition, including Vermont’s recognition of the Elnu, Koasek, Missisquoi and Nulhegan, mean to them? This event asks Vermonters to listen to and take account of Native voices that have so far gone unheard in our public discourse."</p><p>The general public will be able to register the 25th after 8 a.m. for remote attendance ...</p><p><b>Register Here: </b><a href="http://go.uvm.edu/beyondborders" target="_blank"><b>go.uvm.edu/beyondborders</b></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEOp-vnL4-Z5LTVC-1QpyHuAJRY07I8c6TxTEUBL4BsmnbAfzD6CfneUr2_KqaLb82GlxMh9YHVCNMckCLZmZi7RNuozQZ9Mmi0fwU-oJRLK9QzjhEDXuDGz47vXa_tzmUM62rWlj-XcxI3QWew6X6RGnvi4N9B32EY-5swuhLLoSv2gpHkMWHgP8hYg/s3279/Chief%20Nicholas%20Panadis%20RPPC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2145" data-original-width="3279" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEOp-vnL4-Z5LTVC-1QpyHuAJRY07I8c6TxTEUBL4BsmnbAfzD6CfneUr2_KqaLb82GlxMh9YHVCNMckCLZmZi7RNuozQZ9Mmi0fwU-oJRLK9QzjhEDXuDGz47vXa_tzmUM62rWlj-XcxI3QWew6X6RGnvi4N9B32EY-5swuhLLoSv2gpHkMWHgP8hYg/w400-h261/Chief%20Nicholas%20Panadis%20RPPC.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Let us all remember - honor - and respectfully acknowledge the <b>REAL Abenaki People</b> today... whose ancestors are buried in this land we refer to as "Vermont" and surrounding states.<div><div><br /></div><div><b>NOT</b> these race shifters in Vermont and New Hampshire:</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1peKgbgL8SbfjUTnKU6UDXrNemGmBQQf4?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b>Race Shifters 101 in Vermont and New Hampshire</b></a><br /></div></div>Douglas Buchholzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08673945851395472881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062665372932053864.post-17857835679482880262022-03-22T22:29:00.002-04:002023-03-07T01:47:50.194-05:00Unsettling Genealogies Conference: UNMASKING PSEUDO INDIANS - Session 1 <iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/fyY0egN0cd4" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fyY0egN0cd4/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Pay ATTENTION and LISTEN to ALL of these panelists. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then THINK about Dartmouth College, Middlebury College, UMass-Amherst College et al. regarding how these Educational Institutions PROMOTED and gave PLATFORM - SPACE - and BENEFIT ...</div><div><br /></div><div>to FAKE (Self-Identifying) "ABENAKIS" </div><div><br /></div><div>Including the late Michael Anthony Dorris who claimed to be "Modoc from Oregon" according to Professor Collin Calloway...</div><div><br /></div><div><div>A broken life: After the suicide of Michael Dorris, dark questions cloud the reputation of this literary saint.</div><div>By JOSIE RAWSON</div><div>PUBLISHED APRIL 21, 1997</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.salon.com/1997/04/21/dorris/" target="_blank">https://www.salon.com/1997/04/21/dorris/</a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Over the weekend, rumors have been circulating among those close to Erdrich that another bombshell about Dorris' private life is about to drop, though no one will comment on its nature.

My father had gone back into the military after World War 2 because the job market was hard right after people got home from fighting, and so he went to school for a little while and then he went back into the military.</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">So, I grew up being an Air Force brat and moving as we were called in the service, “brats” moving all over the world </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">So here <b>I</b> am the child of New England parents, and <b>was born in Wichita, Kansas</b>.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">My sister was born there too; and we lived in the Philippines and in Germany and France.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">And Ohio and Maryland; we lived all over the place but they my parents grounded us in our families and in New England with the stories they told.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">But they were stories generational stories of our family of course.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">They also took us camping all the time and so I learned how to, you know, live and balance what to do what to do in nature, how to be in touch with nature. </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Because even when we lived in big cities my father and my mother always took us camping everywhere</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">So that we would have a sense of what, you know, what we needed to know what the earth, you know, really was … which not the big cities and the cars and the towering buildings.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">But I didn't know the traditional stories the way you know Louise had such the bounty of being able to hear those and learn them from her grandmother and from other elders.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">So, for me, I became a storyteller myself when I became a parent, when I became a mother.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I really, you know, I think we all do, you know. </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">We think about, what kind of parent do we want to be and what information, you know, what do we want our children to really know that's important to us and for me, you know, I have English Scottish Irish Welsh …</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm told German and one Swedish great- great-great-great-grandmother who somehow moved to Maine and got into the family tree ...</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">It seemed very close to me because I knew him until I was about 10 years old. </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #fcff01;">His mother was Abenaki </b>...</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">And so, I knew they would hear all those stories I wanted them to learn the stories of the Abenaki people.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">And also, the Mohawk people.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">My husband has mohawk heritage.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I started looking around, you know, where was I going to get this information and here I have to give great thanks, you know, kchi wliwini to <b>Joseph Edward Bruchac III</b>, who is an amazing Abenaki storyteller.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Just about the time I was trying to learn how to tell these stories in the early 1990’s</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">he began to publish a series of books with his partner <b>Michael Caduto</b> and the two of them were Keepers of the Earth and Keepers of the Animals and Keepers of Life and Keepers of the Night.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">His voice as a storyteller was so touching to me even just written that I then I had to go seek him out and then I found every storyteller I could find and went and listened. I apprenticed myself to go hear the stories because it's hearing the stories that you can become you can internalize them and start to become a storyteller and every storyteller I've ever met is gracious and wants to pass the stories on, you know, the stories are living entities and they need the breath of life in them they need to be shared they need to be passed on and this is one of the things that I learned from hearing other storytellers; and I was so grateful to be able to share that with my daughters and have one of my, you know, my daughters are in their 30’s now.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I have granddaughters who love to tell those stories, you know, with my younger granddaughter in kindergarten, you know, they were giving everybody their best this award and best that award and little Marilyn came home with the best storyteller award I didn’t even know they had a storyteller award. It was delightful to see that going on my younger daughter Amanda she did some time at Montezuma's Castle, out in Arizona as a park ranger and what she did was tell stories, you know, instead of just giving statistics she had gone with me and she had apprenticed herself to me when I was going out telling stories when she was growing up, and she found that rhythm and that cadence and so when she was in Arizona she found, you know, the people there, the indigenous people, and asked if there were stories that she could share, you know, so it's something that you learn from other storytellers and then it becomes stronger the more stories you hear.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I also remember hearing '<b>Wolf Song' <span style="color: #cc0000;">a.k.a.

Really? When? Where? How? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Perhaps someone could ASK her, and provide my person the objective answer. I doubt she would provide me the answers.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Or she'd reply with the Go_To_Answer ... that her ancestors were all "hiding in plain sight" and there is NO OBJECTIVE evidence to her "Abenaki" ancestry. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">OK so trying to ascertain the alleged "Abenaki" ancestor in this one was like TRYING to find "Waldo" in the red and white knit hat in NY City, NY. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Anne's mother Barbara always knew about it (the Abenaki) because Babarba would tell her daughter and what Barbara's grandfather had taught her. It seemes very close to Anne because she knew him until she was about 10 years old. His mother was Abenaki" ... </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">That alleged "Abenaki" being Alice M.

NEVER the Living Relations or COMMUNITY, in which her ancestor lived. WHY not? I surmise it's because she's using a remote ancestor SHE HERSELF CLAIMS was "Abenaki" in which to promote herself.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">As for her husband Charles Jennison being of "Mohawk" "heritage" again, it's very likely so remote of an ancestor, if at all ever existed in the first place. AGAIN, what COMMUNITY? CLAN? Mohawk names? I found NOTHING ... </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Just more storytelling and self-promotion by her, a white woman Playing "Abenaki" in New Hampshire (?) like so many others in VT/NH. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I did like the <i><b style="background-color: #fcff01;">"My husband is of Mohawk heritage"</b></i> comment in her presentation. That was what, 15 years of genealogy to "discover" before that was announced by her? Or was it some storytelling going on from one of his parents too, about some 9th generation "Mohawk" alleged ancestor, due to the 'romantic' notions, much like Joe Bruchac claiming he too was an Iroquoian Indian, legitimizing his Iroquoian storytelling for $$$$$?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">URL Link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QbXuwMhVHzsD35c0v41eEItc6gVnYv77/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b>Charles Douglas Jennison Narrative Mapping</b></a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">URL Link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KQncwprK0vsTTZYoY71bGz-xoL7sDE8R/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b>Charles Douglas Jennison Chart Mapping</b></a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Find the Mohawk.

I had been informed that she had been one of the original people who fought for Vermont State Recognition of the “Abenaki”. This person who inquired had long suspected Fordham of being a fraud, yet Fordham had been working for the Federal Government, out of Vermont. I was informed that Monique had been “good friends” with Charles Lawrence “Megeso” Delaney Jr. who also claims to be “Abenaki” and a Judge, but he is neither, according to the informant.</p><p>Thus, began my curiosity as to who Monique Fordham was, where she came from, her ancestors, and her own “Abenaki” claims. A simple google search for her began subsequent to the Facebook communication to my person. Monique had been one of the co-founders of the <b>Friends of Wissatinnewag</b> (FOW), now the <b>Nolumbeka Project</b>, along with Howard Clark. Knowing that the Nolumbeka Project had given space, platform and benefit to Vermont “Abenaki” groups. </p><p><b>Monique Fordham piqued my interest, yet had not been on my investigative research ‘radar’ previously.

Her mother, and his wife (at the time of Monique’s birth December 27, 1960) had been Ingrid (nee: Palmberg) from Finland. The alleged “Abenaki” ancestor came through paternally, not maternally to Monique Fordman it had had been quickly ascertained. Monique had two younger sisters, Sonja Viveka (nee: Fordham) born in 1964 and Robin Annika (nee: Fordham) born in 1967, both at the Mary Fletcher Hospital in Burlington, Vermont, to Monique’s parents Robert and Ingrid.</p><p>In a matter of steps, Robert Austin Fordham’s parents were detected. Austin Lyle Fordham (1891-1943) and Marjorie Jane (nee: Spaulding) (1899-1949). Doing the genealogical mapping at this point was simply a matter of putting each ancestor into their respective order, and creating a folder of vital records, and misc. as I moved backwards through Monique’s father’s ancestors, both paternally, and maternally. Again, using google search and Ancestry.com it was within a matter of a day, and I had already ascertained and mapped into a genealogical program RootsMagic, a genealogy software program, Monique’s paternal ancestry.</p><p>Marjorie’s husband, Austin Lyle Fordham (1891-1943) had ancestry who derived out of Brooklyn, New York, on both sides of his parentage who ‘identified as’ and/or were ‘identifying as’ non- Indigenous. Thus, I began to focus on Marjorie Jane Spaulding (1899-1949) and her parentage and ancestry. Her parents were Frank Ellsworth Spaulding (1861-1927) and “Adoree” (Dora) L. Astle (1864- 1887).</p><p>Dora’s mother had been Rachel Olney (nee: Nutting) who had married to James Thomas Astle on December 12, 1843, in the Congregational Church in Shipton, Richmond, Le Val-Saint-François, Québec, Canada.

My ancestor Rachel married James Thomas Astle (marriage certificate in Drummondville, PQ, I believe it was 1843 or so...); they had some kids in Quebec and others when they moved to Lower Waterford, VT about 1861, where they are both buried. One of their daughters was Amanda Astle who married Alphonse Brooks in Sheffield, VT. I was contacted by one of their descendants if you are interested in that information.<br />I'm a granddaughter of Amanda's sister, Adora. While I've tracked down descendants of some of the other siblings (one sister who married a Babcock, a brother Ashley) I'm still looking for descendants who married Mitchel and Brown.<br /><b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">Our histories agree that Rachel was an adopted Abenaki </span>(which makes sense since the Odanak Abenaki Reserve is not too far away from Shipton/Warwick)</b> - I've searched and searched but have never found a birth or baptism certificate for her. Know anything about this?<br />I'm sure you've bumped into Barbara Doying and others who have cornered the market on Astle/ Doying/Olney/Nutting info, but my branch seems to be a mystery....<br />I certainly can provide that info on Alphonse/Amanda for you if you'd like!</i></p><p><b>More on Ancestry.com Tree from vam5506:</b></p><p>Indian origin: For some reason, apparently the Veazy's had asked Richard de Gruchy to search for info that Abigail Doying was the Indian connection.

How was she related to, in genealogical descent, etc., to Monique Fordham of Vermont (and her sisters Sonja and Robin) as well my curiousness as to whether or not Rachel Olney Nutting (ca. 1825-1883) had been, in fact, of Abenaki descent.</p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18PEijYmIFpQ-5ijTNw8wFs1anxHfx6XG?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b>https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18PEijYmIFpQ-5ijTNw8wFs1anxHfx6XG?usp=sharing</b></a><br /></p><p><b>Looking at the Census Records for Rachel:</b></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>1861</b></span> Census of Canada:</p><p>(Warwick, Arthabaska, Canada East, Canada) Mrs. R.

Was there a way to do it, without depending on a multiple set of persons descended from Rachel? Had the descendants of Rachel considered or had already genetic tested themselves to attempt confirmation of her alleged indigenous descent?

From Kristy’s genealogy mapped tree, I could see she did not have the Astle surname in her ancestors.</p><p>Kristy was perfect to begin testing my ‘working theory’ in my attempt to confirm or deny the subjective ‘oral tradition’ within several lines of Rachel’s descendants, that she (Rachel born in 1825) was either adopted by a white couple (John and Hannah) or had been actually their daughter.</p><p><b>Following my steps in a "working theory" ...</b></p><p>I found within an Ancestry.com Tree a woman named Virginia (vam5506) an email from Monique Fordham dated <span style="color: #2b00fe;">March 07, 2002</span><span style="color: #990000;"> [See above dated communication to Joan Hersey Olsson]</span> and thus I began research and comparatives within Ancestry.com, the same as I had done regarding Kristy.</p><p>I discovered to my surprise, that my two siblings and I, matched to Virginia (nee: Babcock) Myers (vam5506) within AncestryDNA at 9 cM across 1 DNA segment. Thus, providing the necessary awareness that Virginia had also done a AncestryDNA test as well. </p><p><b><u style="background-color: #fcff01;">I also have no access to Virginia's AncestryDNA Matches within any genetic testing company at any time</u></b>.</p><p>Doing an ethnicity percentile % comparative between Kristy and the Phillips descendant, I could see that the percentile for Kristy, of John and Hannah’s daughter Lois P. (nee: Nutting) had added up to 100% percent. Adding up the numbers, 3% + 63% + 4% + 19% + 7% + 4% = 100%, there was no genetic contribution in Kristy’s DNA ethnicity result prediction indicating Indigenous Native American DNA percentile and that piqued my interest.</p><p>Though Kristy is a 3rd great grand daughter of John and Hannah, as such, I surmised she might have at least shown indication of very remote Indigenous % contribution, yet it was ZERO %.</p><p>John Nutting was son of John Nutting (1770-1844) and Rachel Olney (1775-1865).</p><p>John Nutting (Lois P.’s father) had descended from the surnames of Nutting, Pickman, Pasca, Woods, Spaulding, Barrett, and Lindall.</p><p>Rachel (nee: Olney) Nutting (born in 1775) had descended from the surnames Olney, Dexter, Young, Coggeshall, Smith, and Reynolds. These ancestors all were from Europe.</p><p>Rachel (Olney) Nutting husband John’s ancestor, that being Elizabeth (nee: Pasca) Pickman (ca. 1714-1761), had been born in Tortoia, British Virgin Islands, baptized in 1715 at Saint Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney Parish, Tower Hamlets, Middlesex, England, and died in 1761 in Salem, Massachusetts.</p><p>Hannah (Doyen/Doying) 1805-1880, had been the daughter of John Doyen (1781-1814) and Mary P. Rollins (1785-1854).</p><p>John Doyen’ parents had been Francis Doyen and Mary (nee: Fife). John Doyen’s grandfather Francis Michel Doyen had been born in 1701 in Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine, Bretagne, France, marrying in Haverhill, MA, and dying ca. 1774 in Pembroke, N.H., having married Abigail (nee: Whittaker) in 1726.</p><p>Mary P. Rollins had been descended from Rollins, Sanborn, Cram, Sherburne, and Drew ancestors. All coming from Europe.</p><p>In the ancestry of neither parent of Lois Philura (nee: Nutting) there had been no surname Astle ancestor. This was important to ascertain genealogically for my ‘working theory’ to function.</p><p>Virginia (vam5506), as previous mentioned, descended from Rachel Olney Nutting (1825-1883) and is a great-granddaughter of Rachel herself. Virginia, as aforementioned, also matched to my two siblings and myself, within AncestryDNA genetic testing. I could also do an ethnic percentile % of Virginia in comparative to myself (as well as my two siblings).</p><p>Virginia (vam5506) had 27% + 37% + 5% + 26% + 5% = 100% to European Ethnicities, leaving no room for genetic contribution indicating Indigenous Native American DNA percentile.</p><p>I found this to be quite intriguing, in light that Monique Fordham seemed, in early March of 2002, convincing herself she was of Abenaki descent. That, since she stated, in light of some of or most of Rachel’s descendants’ familial oral “tradition” had been that Rachel herself “was an adopted Abenaki” used PROXIMITY between Odanak (formerly known as the Saint-François-du-Lac / “St. Francis” Mission of Abénaquis / Abénakis) and Shipton and Warwick, PQ as “proof” to her (Rachel) allegedly being Abenaki and thus Monique herself, of Abenaki descent.</p><p>Remember Kristy the 3rd great-granddaughter of John and Hannah who tested through AncestryDNA, that matched to the Phillips descendant, who had also tested through AncestryDNA at a mere 9 cM across 1 segment match?</p><p>As part of my “working theory’ I proceeded to communicate through Ancestry.com’ messaging system with Kristy, knowing she was a descendant, not of Rachel (b. 1825 d. 1883) but of the alleged “adoptive” white parents, John Nutting and Hannah (nee: Doyen).</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">December 09, 2021</span></b></p><p>“Has anyone from Rachel done DNA testing Kristy, to substantiate that Rachel Olney Nutting b. 1825 was Indian? I am studying this woman and her ancestors from Smithfield, RI.?”</p><p>“Do you have any matches from Rachel Olney Nutting (1825-1827) descendants? There is a "tradition" that she was Indian, but IF the woman's descendants are matching to you from Rachel ... Hoping to hear from you. I would love to solve this mystery about Rachel...”</p><p>Kristy replied back: “I haven't found anything about Rachel Olney Nutting if she was Indian. I tried looking up it and only found what the Babcock family of Vermont had wrote. John and Hannah’s daughter Lois is my 2nd great grandmother on my father side.”</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">December 10, 2021</span></b></p><p>I had inquired yet another question of Kristy:</p><p>“vam5506 ... do you (Kristy) have this DNA tester in your matches? She matches to my sister, my brother and myself.”</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">December 11, 2021</span></b></p><p>Kristy responded: <i>“Yes, vam5506 shows up as my 4th cousin, with 53cM across 2 segments.”</i> </p><p>BINGO! My ‘working theory’ genetically was functioning perfectly, though I had no access to either Kristy or Virginia’s AncestryDNA Matches to do my own direct comparatives with either of their genetic matches.</p><p>I subsequently proceeded to begin communication with Virginia (Babcock) Myers (vam5506), her being a great-granddaughter of Rachel “the Abenaki Indian” “orphaned due to a Cholera epidemic” “adopted by a white family (John Nutting and Hannah Doying” ...</p><p>I asked her if she had any objective evidence of Rachel being an Abenaki Indian? Did she have Odanak Abenaki surnames (such as Obomsawin, Sadoques, Watso, Benedict, et al) within the AncestryDNA Matches genealogically mapped trees of whom that she shared genetic contribution with?</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">December 11, 2021</span></b></p><p>Virginia (Vam5506) replied: <i>“Douglas: I am an 87-year-old widow living in Texas.

I would love to communicate further with you.”</i></p><p><b style="text-decoration-line: underline;">MY Conclusion</b>:</p><p>My ‘working theory’ had worked quicker than I had anticipated in confirming (or contradicting) the Nutting – Astle Familial legend / “oral tradition” having been passed down amongst the descendants of Rachel Olney (nee: Nutting) Astle (1825-1883) being allegedly an “Abenaki Indian” “orphaned due to a Cholera epidemic” “adopted by a white family (John Nutting and Hannah Doying” ...</p><p>For (Kristy) ... Lois Philura (nee: Nutting) Stoddard’s 2nd great granddaughter to have genetically matched at 53.4 cM across 2 DNA segments to (Virginia Myers) as a predicted 4th Cousin, via Rachel Olney (nee: Nutting) Astle’ daughter Adwina Minerva (nee: Astle) Babcock (1851-1926), Rachel (born in 1825) had to be passing down to Virginia (nee: Babcock) Myers, the genetic contribution, not from the Abenakis, but rather from John Nutting and Hannah Doyen/Doying’ ancestors!</p><p>The genetic contribution could have been coming from James Thomas Astle’ mother, Abigail Doyen, granddaughter of Francis Doyen Jr. and his wife Mary (nee: Fife).</p><p>Abigail’s father Daniel Doyen (1763-1851) had been an older sibling of John Doyen (1781-1814). Thus, the genetic contribution between Kristy and Virginia could likely have been inherited from the Doyen and Fife shared ancestry.</p><p>For Virginia to match with my two siblings and myself, it was Hannah (nee: Doyen) husband John Nutting’s mother Rachel (nee: Olney) Nutting’s maternal grandfather, James Young, who had been a sibling brother to Ann Young (ca. 1709-aft. 1762), of Providence, Rhode Island who had married to Thomas Woodward (1702-1779) in 1727.</p><p>It was through James and his sister Ann’s parents, Robert Young and Sarah (nee: Reynolds) that Virginia Myers and we three siblings of the Buchholz cluster, are genealogically 7th cousins 3-times- removed-related, thus accounting perhaps for the 9 cM across 1 DNA segment. In AncestryDNA, Virginia Myers and myself are predicted to be 5th to 8th cousin relationship.</p><p>Though how I digress.</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">No. 1</span></b></p><p>IF Rachel Olney Nutting were ‘brought into’, becoming the ‘adopted’ daughter of the Nutting-Olney couple, to her alleged “Abenaki parents having died from Cholera”, then those two Abenaki parents would have been very likely recorded within the Catholic diocese in or around Shipton/Warwick, (or within a 52-mile radius from Odanak) one would surmise.</p><p>Abenakis within Odanak were predominantly of the Catholic faith, that is, until Henry Lorne Masta’ father, Pial Pol Wz8khilain had, after 1829, brought Protestantism into Odanak from Dartmouth College, and establishing both a Protestant church and an English-speaking school for the Odanak Abenakis.</p><p>Remember, Rachel had been born just before John Nutting and Hannah Doyen had married in August 1825 in the Saint Georges Anglican Church, in Drummondville, Arthabaska County, Québec, Canada.</p><p>It was not unheard of, that a baptismal record for a daughter born before the parents had been officially married, would not have been made, because of the stigma of illegitimacy. Certainly, it was not that uncommon for a new couple to start having children before they could get married, because of the lack of priest or preacher within a geographical area in those times.</p><p>The proximity of Shipton-Warwick to Odanak (approximately 52 miles distance) did not make Rachel Olney (nee: Nutting) Astle an Abenaki Indian. Nor did her having lack of a birth/baptismal record ca. 1825 to her marriage in 1843.</p><p>To imply that such dynamics eluded to her being an Abenaki, along with an ‘oral familial tradition’, is merely a John Scott Moody tactic.</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">No. 2</span></b></p><p>The reason Rachel O. Nutting (born approximately July 27, 1825 BEFORE her parents John Nutting and Hannah Doyen's marriage the following month) did not have a Baptismal Record on or after birth, was there are TWO dynamics that have been going on: Traveling Preacher for the Congregationalists of the area, and he wasn't around, or lost the book and/ or Reason No. 2, is that if Rachel was born before the parents had married, then that meant recording such birth would have very likely labeled Rachel as "illegitimate" (which had implications for not only themselves as a couple but for their daughter as well). Therefore the likely the parents didn't bother to have a baptismal record made for their first born daughter, Rachel, was negated. </p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">No. 3</span></b></p><p><b>IF Rachel Olney (nee: Nutting) Astle was the daughter of John Nutting (1794-1870) and Hannah Doyen/Doying (1805-1880)</b>, that would make perfect sense, genealogically speaking, because Rachel was John and Hannah’s first-born daughter, thus being named after John’s mother Rachel (nee: Olney).</p><p>Also, it must be mentioned that Rachel (1825-1883) had a paternal aunt, Rachel Olney Nutting (1808- 1905) who had married to Gaby Guy Richardson, the first day of January in the Protestant Church of Louisville, in Trois-Rivières, Saint Maurice, Québec, Canada.</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">No. 4</span></b></p><p><b>IF Rachel Olney (nee: Nutting) Astle was indeed an Abenaki</b>, most assuredly, Virginia being Rachel’s great-granddaughter, would have genetic ethnic detected % percentile and showing matches to indigenous surnamed (and or descendants thereof) within her own AncestryDNA matches.</p><p><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">No. 5</span></b></p><p><b>IF Rachel Olney (nee: Nutting) Astle was indeed an Abenaki</b>, then her great-granddaughter, Virginia (nee: Babcock) Myers, would NOT genetically be matching in AncestryDNA to Kristy Leigh (nee: Stoddard) Allard at 53 cM across 2 DNA segments predicted to be a 4th cousin.</p><p>Kristy and Virginia are 3rd cousins once removed to one another, genealogically speaking.</p><p>According to DNA Painters tool, Shared cM Project 4.0 tool v4, the percentile cM at 53 is 22% likely to be a predicted genetic relationship between the two testers being 3C1R, dependent on how the DNA has been recombined and inherited through each line of descent, and of course the dynamic of endogamy has to be considered in these Nutting-Olney-Astle ancestral dynamics as well.</p><p>Obviously the DNA testing proves that Rachel had not an Abenaki Indian, contrary to passed- down oral stories and long-held beliefs that were shared amongst descendants of Rachel Olney (Nutting) Astle.</p><p>Monique Fordham apparently post-2011 (or before) sought membership in the Nulhegan group led initially by Luke Andrew Willard and then followed by Don Stevens Jr. She also seemingly sought to benefit from such membership in her career within the Federal Government. These varied agencies subjectively also concluded that she was of Western Abenaki descent, based on her getting that membership card from the Nulhegan.</p><p>Question is, was Rachel Olney Nutting who married James Thomas Astle an Abenaki Indian girl, adopted by the white couple of John Nutting and Hannah Doyen, or was she their daughter, before they had legally been married by the Church of their faith in 1825? And if she was Abenaki, WHY does the DNA contribution cause the DNA match in Ancestry with both Kristy and Virginia? </p><p>If Rachel were indeed "Abenaki" these two, Kristy and Virginia would not be matching (yet they do); Virginia would have Indigenous Ethnic Prediction percentile % (yet she doesn't) and importantly, there ought to be DNA matches to people who have Abenakis from and of Odanak showing up in Virginia's matches per the AncestryDNA (yet she doesn't). </p><p>URL Link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18PEijYmIFpQ-5ijTNw8wFs1anxHfx6XG?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>Monique Fordham and MY Research</b></span></a><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">So what does all this that tell you about Monique Fordham et al, her and their "Abenaki-ness" and her Nulhegan Coosuk membership in 2016 ?</span></b></p><div><br /></div>Douglas Buchholzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08673945851395472881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062665372932053864.post-18882821641135810692021-12-17T15:45:00.004-05:002023-03-07T01:49:00.042-05:00Sally Ann (nee: Auger) Parks - Eichhorn (1938-2020) ...

By <span style="color: #2b00fe;">July 09, 2007</span>, I had drafted a letter-of-request to the power-of-attorney, for Elizabeth "Kitty" (nee: Cass) Arsenault, who happened to be Elizabeth "Kitty" Arsenault' daughter, Elizabeth "<b>Beth</b>" A. (nee: Covell) <b>1m.</b> Libby <b>2m.</b> Bean, of Bethel, Maine. This request was to get a notarized document, from Kitty Arsenault, in order to access and obtain Birth-Marriage-Death Records held by State Agencies, as representative/ genealogist. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span> </span>On <span style="color: #2b00fe;">July 17, 2007 </span>elderly Elizabeth (nee: Cass) Arsenault and her daughter Beth (as Power of Attorney) readily arrived in Lancaster, in my company, to get the necessary Notarized document signed at the bank. Subsequently, I did continue my research, after both "Kitty" and (sadly) her daughter too, were to become inevitably deceased. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Kitty died a year later in 2008, and her daughter Beth died in 2016. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yet, in Elizabeth 'Kitty' M. Arsenault's communications with my person, she had conveyed 'as-much-as-she could-remember'. In an interview on <span style="color: #2b00fe;">November 19, 1996</span>, I sat down with her to record her recollections as follows:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><b>Elizabeth (Cass) Arsenualt:</b> These are the things I remember about my grandmother Flora Ella Woodward.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>When we used to go up there, my sister Ruth and I, she'd use to take us out in the field to get different herbs to put in the basket she used to carry stuff in ... and I remember one thing in particular.

It made you feel good afterward after you ate them. She (grandmother) said everybody should have that. She (grandmother Flora Ella) dug up other things, but we never paid much attention to them, but we did that, because we'd ate 'em, so I remember that.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Grammy used to have all kind of rooked rugs in her home. Upstairs, she had a large bedroom and it was just covered with hooked rugs; all outside pictures/ all outside scenes and different things and she had some downstairs too. All over her wall, her rugs. They were very beautiful, but we never got any of them. I don't know where they went to, but we never got any of them.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Grammy had this pipe. Every time after she ate ... (she only smoked after she ate) with a long pipe, long stem to it, and where you put your tobacco, it was oh, quite high, at least about 5" or so, at least that.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>She'd sit in her rocking chair and she'd look right straight ahead. She wouldn't make a sound and she'd puff, a 1-2-3 ... and little small circles <span style="color: #cc0000;">of smoke </span>would come out and on top of over our heads. And when they'd start to disappear, then then she would start doing it over again ... 1-2-3 and go right over the top of our heads. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>And on the pipe, near the bottom of the stem, was these green ribbons. And on the end of these green ribbons was a green bead. We've often wondered what that meant, the way she'd Grammy Flora Ella did that, the way sh'e would blow those smoke rings over our heads. The only other person I knew who smoked like that was my father, James Henry Cass<span style="color: #cc0000;">, Sr</span>. Flora Ella Woodward was his mother, and Parker was her father. Darius Woodward's son Anson married to Flora. They were cousins. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>They had these children, twins, Anson and Emerson Cass.

One person, the first person that she ever took care of, she was a great friend of Grammy's, and the doctors had given her up, so one of the boys, one of the neighbors, finally come up and asked Grammy, to see if she could do anything for her, since the doctors gave her up. So Grammy <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Flora Ella)</span> closed up her home, and she walked down ... and she asked this woman if she wanted her to doctor her. Grammy said she'd have to because she'd never doctored a white person before.

And they went in the room, over on the right-hand side, Grammy had this woman's head up, and <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Flora Ella)</span> was giving her some stuff out of a spoon. She had a big pot of something on the stove, and then there was another big pot where she had this beef stew. They called it beef stew but it was bear stew.Was it ever good!

I don't know if he was buried around that part of the country or not, I don't know as I never heard anybody say. Grammy went to the healing springs quite a bit. She went in the winter, pretty sure it was January. They call it Brunswick Springs, that's where the Indians went to be healed, right there at Brunswick Springs. There's seven of them. When I was a kid, we used to up there a bit ourselves. From what I understand there are many Indians buried there. Anson' twin <span style="color: #cc0000;">Emerson Cass</span>, I heard, was buried there too. They called it an Indian Burial Ground as I understand it. Years ago, there was a beautiful hotel there and it burnt down, and they built another one at the Brunswick Springs and that one burnt down too. So they never built anymore. When I was a kid, I'd heard some of the old people talk about something about a white man did something to a chief's daughter, and he put a curse on that land, and never never would there be a building stand on it, and there never has been. This was long before I was born. It was all long before I was thought of. I don't know what they did to this Indian Chief's daughter, but some white man did something. When there was a CC camp there, I heard, the boys sure dug up a lot of bones. Grammy was long gone before the CC camps were here.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Grammy worked in a lumber camp.

Woodward; Just as suggested in a recent issue of the Homestead all of the good old young people are not men. The women folks haven't been idle all these years. The accompanying picture of Mrs. Flora Woodward was taken at the age of 82. She is now 85. When this was taken she did three or four washings a week besides her own and, did all her own work, went berrying, canned those berries, worked out now and then for the neighbors, took most of care of the garden and helped her son peel pulp to sell in Groveton. They have a home of their own and need not work so hard but Mrs. Woodward says she won't wear out as fast as she would sitting around doing nothing. The home is in North Stratford, N.H. Are there any others that can beat this? She raised a family of six children and is still going strong doing more than many of the young women.

She had been taken to three doctors of that time who had agreed that Flora Ella could expect to live no longer than six months. As she would tell it, her mother <span style="color: #cc0000;">[Sarah Pilsbury (nee: Sawyer) Woodward] </span>had taken her to an Indian "doctor" who gave her medicines of roots and herbs. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Because <u>ONLY</u> white folks are really genuine doctors ... <u>not</u> "Indians"?</span>. Later her condition disappeared and she would then say, "I am still liviing and the doctors all died many years ago." She would tell this story most times when she heard of a doctor's opinion expressed.</div><div style="text-align: left;">This might be why I learned of her being in an Indian Village. Surely Flora Ella's later years proved it so. She was remarkably well-informed as to herbs, roots and animal oils, etc. I have seen her extract skunk oil and render bear grease. She taught much of this to Anson Jr. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Only on one occasion did I know her to offer a medicine:</div><div style="text-align: left;">Martha McGuire (nee: Dennis), <span style="color: #cc0000;">wife of Henry McGuire</span>, had been sickly for some time. Doctor's Brown and Gilbert had both administered treatment for a period of several months, to no avail. Martha would be up for only a short times and would then return to bed. She had lost much weight.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I remember one afternoon young Anse (Anson Jr.) had come into Martha's kitchen where he removed from his jacket pocket, a long root and several shorter roots. Anson told Martha, <i>"Ella</i> (Anson always spoke of his mother as "Ella") <i>said to have you steep these and drink half a cup of the tea, morning and night, and she said it might help you.</i>"</div><div style="text-align: left;">Martha thanked him and after washing the dirt off the roots she'd brewed them on the stove. Several weeks later Martha nearly returned to her normal condition of health. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-49vXKg0OLtA/YRoJRFHm_mI/AAAAAAAAZv4/RiRimv7x-UQPAuStHmlDLreFrDD35e43wCLcBGAsYHQ/IMG_0094.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-49vXKg0OLtA/YRoJRFHm_mI/AAAAAAAAZv4/RiRimv7x-UQPAuStHmlDLreFrDD35e43wCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/IMG_0094.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">At the time I lived at Martha<span style="color: #cc0000;"> (nee:Dennis)</span> Maguire's doing chores, etc, and finishing the eighth grade of school, I was 13 years old.

Once she told of a childbirth after she had been caring for some woman who had some difficulty giving birth. She claimed there was nothing to it. "I was working in the woods when my time came. I went behind some bushes, gave birth to a daughter, with no trouble. I wrapped the baby in my frock (a type of jacket) and took her home."</div><div style="text-align: left;">That is as near <u>as I recall her words</u>. She was very strong, healthy, and a robust woman.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Her cooking utensils were an iron kettle, pot with cover, frying pan, and enameled plates for pies and table use. The cutlery was the old iron knives and forks. She told me she had had her dishes, etc since her first housekeeping.</div><div style="text-align: left;">She and Old Anse <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Anson Adrias/Darius Woodward Sr.)</span> came to Stratford from Bebee Plains, Vermont. Flora carried Little Anse and Anson Sr. carried the twin <span style="color: #cc0000;">[Emerson Cass]</span>. The twin <span style="color: #cc0000;">[Emerson]</span> was very sick. Flora never said the twin brother's name and the only reference I heard was the above written and when she once said she had had eleven children, then Flora Ella had twins, "then I quit!," she'd said.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Her family contacts were her sister in California, Osman and James, and in later years, there was Nellie <span style="color: #cc0000;">Maude (nee: Cass) Reed</span>.

Cass' first wife) were close friends. From Katie (nee: Baird), who was also close to Emily, and others. Flora and Anson, Sr. were often visiting James and Emily. In later years I came to realize this to be the main cause of Flora Ella Woodward's apparent resentment of Sarah Ann (nee: Emery) Cass, second wife to James H. Cass Sr.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I never knew Flora Ella to speak "dirty", swearing or off shade, nor did she quote from or preach from the Bible teachings.

He said the day of her funeral, the day was wild with snowstorm and the temperature had been near minus 20 degrees outside. The Rev.

Literally!</p><p>Mr. Benay repeats the often-said 'mantras' that the St. Francis-Sokoki group were "always here" etc. He also claims that Gregory Sanford, VT State Archivist had found the boxes of the Eugenics Survey of VT records. </p><p>This is contrary to the promoted narrative Kevin Dann publishing that it was he himself, that had found those V.E.S. (VT Eugenics Survey) records in the summer of 1986. Or am I missing some key component of possible collusion or confusion on the part of elderly Benay here? </p><p>Apparently, I surmise, that Benay is merely misremembering who actually brought the boxes of V.E.S. materials (that have been used for these "Abenakis" political agenda to whip up public sympathies over the years) to the attention of Homer and his band of "Abenakis". </p><p>Benay also FAILS to mention that Donald Warren Stevens Jr. CAME from and of, literally OUT OF Homer's group prior to going over to the Nulhegan group, whilst Luke A. Willard had been appointed the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs, in their agenda to "stack" the VCNAA (Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs) with their own Alliance's members (and their allies). </p><p>Don Stevens had worked on the Abenaki-Self-Help Association, before becoming a "Chief" of this so-called Nulhegan group that had been created in the summer of 2004 out of the Clan of the Hawk group that had been led by the late Ralph Skinner Swett. Ralph's group had been created out of the late Howard F. Knight's shenanigans, which also retrospectively, had been created out of Richard "Black Horse" Phillips shenanigans due to Richard's dissatisfaction with the late Homer St. Francis Sr. of Swanton back in the late 1970's. </p><p>William Haviland and Marjorie Power were strong advocates for Homer and his group over the years since the mid-1970's and had written the <b><i>Original Vermonters</i></b> book in the early 1980's. </p><p>These two Homer-advocates (nor anyone else for that matter) had never seriously looked at the genealogical side of these French-Canadian descendants who now -post-1975 claimed to be thee Vermont "Abenakis" all hiding-in-plain-sight apparently. </p><p>Michael Oatman, had taken pieces of the Eugenics Survey (i.e. files/documents) out of those V.E.S. boxes and <b>began re-inventing</b> (for public shock value and "Abenaki" sympathies) the V.E.S. narrative, i.e. erroneously claiming that Adolph Hitler had been communicating with the V.E.S., which Jeff Benay in his editorial perpetuates.</p><p>Yet the <b><u>big whopping lie</u></b>, was that the V.E.S. had been 'targeting' these "Abenakis" in VT, because they were Abenakis. </p><p>In actuality, the V.E.S. had been composed of K.K.K. advocates and racists, who were nefariously yet working for the V.E.S. and were "quietly" targeting <b>Black-White intermarriages</b> ... <b>and their offspring/descendants</b> of some families, deemed of "interest" ... such as the Phillips family of Franklin and Chittenden Counties. </p><p>Of which, Don Stevens Jr. descends from! </p><p>He claims the Phillips family were and today are thee Vermont Abenakis. </p><p>I have documented genealogically, historically, and genetically that such is NOT the reality at all. </p><p><a href="http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2018/07/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2018/07/</span></b></a><br /></p><p>In fact, the progenitor, Antoine, of the family was, in fact, Black (i.e. Negro). </p><p>Antoine born about 1814 (not 1785) had married to a French woman Catherine Emery dite Coderre in ca. 1830 who had had been born in 1806 to two French-Canadian parents! </p><p>I even sought out two direct-male-descendants of this couple, in order to, at my own expense, attempt to derive an answer, as to whether or not Antoine was, in fact, paternally descended from ... Africa and or the West Indies. Indeed, the results confirm through FTDNA that Antoine and ALL his direct-male-descendants have the Y-DNA haplogroup of B-M181, which is derived from Africa. It is found within direct-male-descendants of those transferred into SLAVERY here in the United States.</p><p>FTDNA's Haplogroup B page refers to Africa because it deals with 'deep ancestry' ...</p><p><i>"Y-DNA haplogroup B, like Y-DNA haplogroup A, is seen only in Africa and is scattered widely, but thinly across the continent. B is thought to have arisen approximately 50,000 years ago. These haplogroups have higher frequencies among hunter-gather groups in Ethiopia and Sudan, and are also seen among click language-speaking populations. The patchy, widespread distribution of these haplogroups may mean that they are remnants of ancient lineages that once had a much wider range but have been largely displaced by more recent population events."</i></p><p>Of course, in the 1980's and 1990's, the St. Francis-Sokoki group led by Homer and then "Blackie" Lampman, and later still Homer (again) ... didn't have the Internet access. </p><p>They didn't have Ancestry(dot)com.</p><p>They didn't have genetic DNA testing either. </p><p>All they had was their faulty beliefs and perceptions.</p><p>In their race shifting ways, reinventing themselves into the "Abenaki" of VT, it was and is today, still profitable to identify "as Abenaki" and have that laminated membership card from one of these CPAIN "tribes" in VT/NH. </p><p>These VT/NH families that Benay mentions were in the V.E.S. records were not in the SURVEY, because they were Abenakis ... but rather it was, indeed, because they had been drunks, adulterous, incestuous, and considered ne'er do wells, in their respective communities, in a rapidly changing Northeast, especially Vermont in particular. And if you think/assume that I am being "hateful" or racist, or biased or bigoted by saying as I have... well see for yourself, what the actual documents say and show!</p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HQ70YchSRZGLJmnD00kuUFl0bFj9vnXC?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">St. Francis and Hoague Family Eugenics Survey Records</span></b></a><br /></p><p>It was/is clear from the V.E.S. records that the St. Francis family were FRENCH-Canadian in their ethnic identity prior to 1974, per the records of the V.E.S. and those records that the SURVEY had been seeking and obtaining from other VT agencies. Even the VT Attorney General's Report of 2003 and the two reports from 2005-2007 i.e. BIA Reports, CLARIFIED as much!</p><p>Clearly the V.E.S. boxes of pseudo "research" of the 1920's and 1930's is just that. While such records have sat in State Archive Custody, they literally "rot" and break down. </p><p>While people have literally stolen some pieces of the V.E.S. Records for their own reasons since 1986, the State has refused to preserve them, microfilm them, protecting those very records. Labels fall off, and the files are thrown back into the boxes in disarray. </p><p>True, researchers like myself, have paid hundreds of dollars for digital duplicates (PDF's) of the V.E.S. record files themselves (Woodward, Sweester, Phillips, Ways, to name just a few), yet each time someone does this, the records themselves <b>deteriorate</b> with each handling by the public and/or the very archivists hired to protect them from deterioration. </p><p><b>The V.E.S. Records are a matter of public record</b> yet the state had (in the 1990's) attempted to 'pirate' them away, keeping them 'pseudo-secret', while Homer and his "Abenakis" went about their created narrative (along with Benay's support etc) implying that their ancestors (usually their lateral relatives) had been targeted for sterilization, "because they were Abenakis" and due to that, they all had to hide-in plain-sight, their alleged true ethnic identities as Abenakis. </p><p>OK, lets say, for the sake of argument, what Benay argues in his most recent editorial article, is hypotheticall, "true" ... subjectively as it is regardless ... that the V.E.S. <b>targeted Abenakis</b> within the State of Vermont. </p><p><b><u>Question</u>: </b>What about 30 years BEFORE the V.E.S. (ca. mid-to-late 1800's) when Abenakis were coming to VT from Odanak, an Abenaki Community comprised of Abenakis having fled the States here in the Northeast after the Revolutionary War? </p><p>Odanak has been in existence since 1675! Abenakis didn't hide in plain sight clearly. They sold baskets throughout Vermont; Nicholas Panadis and other Abenakis attended the Abnaki Boy's Camp on North Hero, had a camp in Highgate, VT up to the early 1900's at least; Watso' sold baskets in Burlington, VT etc; and Obomsawin' and other Abenakis had moved back to their traditional ancestral territories throughout the 1900's up to present. </p><p>Most certainly, Margaret Sanger had created her 'Negro Project' and pray tell why was Perkins tracking the Phillips family and that of the Phelps family of St. Albans, VT through his Eugenics Survey? </p><p>Importantly, what was the Phillips family, in part or in whole, TRYING to "hide" post-1975 if they really weren't "Abenakis"? Was it the fact that the Phillips family in the 1920's and 30's TRIED to "hide" in plain sight, the very FACT that they derived from Antoine and his father Peter Phelps?! </p><p>By hiding that dynamic, that Vermont had THOUSANDS of African families and not just from the Underground Railroad, those formerly enslaved, fleeing to the North and into and out of Canada, whose really the racists? Vermonter's want to PC talk the talk about how the state was so liberal and had such an anti-Slavery stance, yet <b><u>the state of VT allowed slavery in one form or another</u></b>, legally speaking, talking out one side, and doing another out the other! While the different newspapers speak about, with such interest, about Alexander Twilight and Daisy Turner, et al, and of course, Elsie Guyette and others have written wonderful books on the subject of Black Vermonter's, little had been said or realized about St. Albans, and Franklin County, VT's Black population in Vermont. </p><p>Indeed, Dorothy Canfield Fisher was a "quiet" little "do-good'er" and a bit pseudo- 'nazi-fied' racist herself, looking her nose at some, while elevating others, and given the right climate, surely she did "quietly" advocate in her writings, even encouraged (and 'normalized') the discrimination against people of whom she'd thought "beneath" her and other like-minded Vermonter: racism and discriminatory tactics cloaked in the do-good'er tourist-advocate dogma of her day and generation. They probably thought it was "cute" yet "horrified" when reading the Vermont's Burlington Free Press articles about Antoine's grandson Peter! Or about the Blocks up in St. Albans, VT, which eventually burned down.</p><p>There were and are literally THOUSANDS like Henry Perkins and Dorothy Canfield Fisher in Vermont then, and today. Vermont was ALL WHITE so the narrative went, while ignoring the enclaves and communities of Black families ... and even some Abenakis as well, which I have afore-mentioned (i.e. Obomsawin's at Thompson's Point, and also over in Orleans County, VT etc). </p><p>In simple, I'm just pointing out that obviously if Vermont had simply done more thorough scratch and sniff test genealogically, regarding Homer's group, that Jeff Benay continues to advocate for, Vermont'er's would (then and today) realize they have been and are still being deceived, even in this June 05, 2021 editorial letter by Benay himself and by these "Abenakis" such as Don Stevens Jr., now of the Nulhegan entity in Orleans County, VT. </p><p>If the VTDigger folks seriously would kindly open their eyes and ears people would hear the protestations and resistance of Odanak and Wôlinak Abenaki First Nations (and other Wabanaki Communities) against this Vermont "recognition" of these 4-5 groups in VT/NH and the varied VT/NH agencies of the race-shifting support, that Darryl Leroux wrote about in his book Distorted Descent. </p><p>Of course, there is always the dynamic of censorship, cognitive dissonance and dissociation by so many to the truth these days, in attempts to remain "blind" and "comfortable" living within the distortions and lies by so many, who don't want to be seen as discriminatory and races against the actual legitimate Abenakis out there in the Northeast. It's a strange world we live in today indeed. </p><p>But seriously, ask yourselves why Jeffrey Benay has the highest retirement fund in all of Vermont ,and then ask how that came to be, and why?</p><p>Secondly, why does Benay still continue to advocate for a bunch of race shifting "Abenakis" when the truth is literally right in front of him?! Right under everyone's noses, and fingers with a simple google search. </p><p>Why doesn't Vermont (and New Hampshire) wake up to this dynamic, instead of promoting it? </p><p>Because it's profitable. Because it's easier. Of course, I am sure, this blog post will be deemed "hateful" and a "personal attack" on these poor and struggling "Abenakis" of VT/NH (yet again) by VtDigger et al. </p><p>This isn't about hate or my dislike or attempting to 'attack' anyone, least of all Jeff Benay. </p><p>He makes a very good point though: WHY is Don Stevens speaking as if he is an Abenaki, who talks for all of the so-called "Abenaki" Alliance today? Is it about POWER EGO and CONTROL? </p><p>Suffice it to say, Vermont'er's (and including N.H. people) need to wake up and drink <b>a cup of reality</b> about these so-called self-identifying "Abenakis" ... and their allied sponsors. </p><p>In conclusion, Jeff Benay has had a lucrative career working for, advocating for, and now defending the "Abenaki" in Swanton, VT, as well as his wife. He promotes a blatant lie to all Vermonters and defends the propaganda he himself crafted, so that these race shifters could obtain fraudulent State of Vermont Recognition in 2006 and subsequent actions thereafter by the State's Legislatures and Governors. He ought to be ashamed of himself, but he isn't. And that's a problem in and of itself. He's just another self-promoter advocating for race shifters pretending to be "Abenaki" in the group he's worked for, since the early 1980's, just like William Haviland, John Scott Moody (et al) has all these years since 1975.</p>Douglas Buchholzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08673945851395472881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062665372932053864.post-11180158452859725592021-08-02T14:05:00.016-04:002023-03-07T01:49:06.783-05:00Hannibal Woodward a.k.a. as Anthony Jon Picanso is at it again ... <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swdZUcTA_78" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">"The Slander Goes On" Video</span></b></a> (as of April 05, 2021)<br /></p><p>(To quote the video's content)</p><p><b>Wabanaki, Abenaki and the aggressive attacks of misinformation</b></p><p><i>Many have been hurt by this man whose name I will not repeat. </i></p><p><i>I am who my grandmother said I was. </i></p><p><i>I laugh at him calling me a liar, his false labels mean nothing.

And no, I am not hateful to anyone. </p><p>Secondly, IF this blog has caused the race shifter ilk who pretend to be "Abenaki" are suffering damage, put them in tears or caused them financial hardship and made them feel vulnerable, then my blog is doing EXACTLY what it is supposed to be doing!! Their race shifting NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED! These documents NEED to be public and examined and scrutinized by as many people as possible, <b>and especially the genealogies of these race shifters</b>!

And the State's now want to associate with documented race shifters "Playing "Abenaki" simply to have a "YES man" to sign on the dotted line, while these institutions and agencies pontificate their "Abenaki" land acknowledgements to the race shifters, all the while spitting on, stepping on, and stepping over actual Abenaki and Indigenous Peoples in their PR PC BS. While they "perform" their FAKE "Abenaki" persona's in front of naive Elementary School children around the Northeast! And get paid for it!</p><p>What "Hannibal Woodward" / Anthony Jon Picanso really is saying in this Youtube video is for people to defend the race shifting groups (and their members), defend the Wannabiiak across the northeast, and "validate" them in their race shifting! </p><p>Donate to them, acknowledge them, smile for the cameras, give them land, give them money and grants and open all the doors to BENEFITS these race shifters seek and want. Which is, in fact, happening right now. It's all about taking Space, Platform and gaining BENEFITS, as "Abenakis" all the while spitting on, and stepping over and around the legitimate Abenaki People, and those of the Wabanaki Confederacy.</p><p>And true to form, there were/are SOME in these Native Communities who would just as soon slit their communities throats, in their helping these race shifters in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, and Massachusetts, as well as Connecticut take the culture, the language, the dances, and the very identity and wrap themselves in it all, like some big raped Buffalo of the Plains, for their furs only, and have a picture taken with it draped over their white shoulders! I've got documentation going way back on that dynamic as well. </p><p>Race Shifters are terrified of the TRUTH ... of being seen, read, and evaluated/ examined, for WHO THEY REALLY ARE. Their afraid of actual Native People realizing the race shifting monster under their beds, that have been fed and petted since the 70's that now demand to crawl into the Indigenous beds, wanting to be cuddled and loved.

They really make it too easy to expose them with their own BS narratives. As for being an alleged convicted sex offender ... well, that too is a load of crap from these race shifters. But I have heard their narratives "blah blah blah" and seen their created posters, and their social media posts before regarding my person, vilifying me over the years since 2005-6 in their attempts to smear me, and negate my exposure of their documented race shifting ways.

And I began to ponder... </span></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">Was the VT AG's Report, or the BIA correct in their findings, or were the Homer group members correct, etc? So I began to do this blog. Of course, in 2006 or so, folks of these groups TRIED desperately to persuade and or dissuade me from doing to. Oh Rhonda Besaw-Grimes-True said to me, it would HURT so many people if I did! And her late husband Charlie True Jr said, that to do so, would be like airing out their dirty laundry! Of course, I was subsequently wondering WHY these folks saying they was Abenakis would be so AFRAID of their own shadows documentarily</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">? So I did this blog in May 2009. It was and has never been hateful. These race shifters just don't like it when their children and grandchildren (et al) what a scheming bunch of lying race shifters this generation since 1970 has really been, and how they were lied themselves, into believing their "Abenaki" lies and their fraudulent begotten Vermont State recognition in 2006 and thereafter!!</span></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">Why did I began to construct this blog; TRUTH and TRANSPARENCY. It was never about 'hate' or being destructive. Yes, <b>I have been 'deconstructing'</b> and <b>exposing</b> their documents such on this blog regarding how these race shifters have operated in VT and expanding to other states, studying their narratives.</span></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">Anthony Jon Picanso (Jr.) is, in my thinking, just another delusional race shifter claiming he's Wabanaki, or Abenaki, or whatever. Here nor there really. </span></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">But hey, it's been <u>fun</u> "revisiting" the documents and screen-captures regarding him, that I worked on and posted in 2015. </span></p><p><span style="color: #cc0000;">His Youtube post of April 05, 2021 is just another 'blah-blah-blah' and their attempted smear campaign, because I posted about him in Sept. of 2015. He's butt-hurt that someone like me took the time to see past (or through) his race shifting BS nonsense back in 2015. I surmise he's trying to score points with some group in VT/NH so he can get a Nulhegan, Koasek or El-Nu membership card (LMAO) ... it's plausible that this ex-Wiccan Priest desperately wants to be a member of an "Abenaki" group. Maybe Paul Pouliot/Denise Beauregard will give him a card. Then he can be "official". Or perhaps Paul Bunnell will give him a card (or already has!).</span></p><p><br /></p></div>Douglas Buchholzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08673945851395472881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062665372932053864.post-39430309372210403512021-06-19T03:52:00.000-04:002023-03-07T01:48:16.729-05:00CPAIN or Corporate (entities) Posing As Abenaki Indigenous Nations in VT/NH - Part 5<p><span style="font-family: times;"> <b><span style="color: blue;">2010 –</span></b></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: times;">Luke Andrew Willard (a.k.a.
“Falling Owl”) had been nominated by his fellow cohorts on the VCNAA as
Chairperson of the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs, which had
been preparing by manipulations, to receive the State Recognition Applications
from the four groups of the “Abenaki Alliance” that had been compiled and
constructed by Dr. Frederick M. Wiseman PhD with little addition from the
groups themselves other than their membership lists etc. Thus, Don Stevens
became the “chief” of the Nulhegan on September 10, 2010, while previously
having been a previous (yet recent) member of the Homer St. Francis/”Blackie”
Lampman/April (St. Francis) Rushlow-Merrill-led St. Francis-Sokoki at the
Missisquoi group and Board of Directors member of the group’s Abenaki Self-Help

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b>Post on Face Book
by Ralph Skinner Swett:</b> On Sunday <span style="color: blue;">May 27, 2012</span>,
an historic event was arrived at the Clan of the Hawk grounds at their annual
meeting.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">After the election of officers for the Clan of the Hawk,
which for this year will remain the same, we elected three new council members
to our tribal council: <b>George <span style="color: #c00000;">“Peskunck”</span> Larrabee</b>, <b>Justin Deth</b>, and <b>Justin
Carlson</b> (the latter of who is a great young man from Essex, Vt). He has
been with the Clan <span style="color: #c00000;">of the Hawk group</span> for
several years. The two Justin’s bring in some new young blood into the clan,
which is much needed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The great event of two bands coming together at this
meeting by both Chief White Cloud <span style="color: #c00000;">[Reynold Roland
Choinière]</span> and Chief Lone Cloud <span style="color: #c00000;">[Ralph
Skinner Swett formerly called “Spirit Water”]</span>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Chief White Cloud is of Newport, VT and of <b>The North American People of the Dawn / Algonquin
Wabanaki Nation</b>, since <span style="color: blue;">1984</span>.<span style="color: #c00000;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Chief Lone Cloud <span style="color: #c00000;">[Ralph S.
Swett]</span> had stated of the <b>Clan of
the Hawk</b> in Evansville, VT, that it <b><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">received its start back in the
late 1970’s, by old </span></b><span style="background: yellow; color: #c00000; mso-highlight: yellow;">Elwin</span><b><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"> Joe </span></b><span style="background: yellow; color: #c00000; mso-highlight: yellow;">Merle</span><b><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"> Pero of Thetford, VT</span></b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">In this coming together of <b>two old established bands</b> in Vermont it means that Native Americans
in Vermont can come together and work for the good of all Native Americans in Vermont.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">These <b>two great
long established bands</b>, and as chiefs we hope, will pave the way for more
groups to work together in unity, to benefit all natives.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">At this meeting all were in favor to go ahead in unity
and after the meeting we had drumming and then a great meal as usual.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: times;">Clearly, and obviously, Ralph
Skinner Swett, in his narrative of his group’s alleged beginnings, had TRIED to
fraudulently give itself “historical roots” farther back into the 1970’s,
contrary to reality and truth. The group was started in 1994.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

and a temporary exhibit will be on Abenaki people past and present who
contribute(ed) to the Abenaki culture.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Enclosed is the layout of the permanent exhibit. We would
like to discuss with you the concept and what objects we should put in the
exhibit, that represent the Abenaki.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">You will find a list of people we invited. Should you
think of someone else that should be present, please contact us so we can
invite them.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">A friend of mine faxed me this information about the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Odanak Museum</b>. Hopefully the Odanak

disregard this information.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Regarding Former Agent <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Barbara Jensen</b> – She ripped off our Food Bank $450.00 dollars

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">This letter is to confirm our telephone conversation of

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Abenaki Nation
of Vermont, </b><span style="color: #c00000;">Inc.’d</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>has never had a Federal number. It has no Liens or Encumbrances
ans is free and clear in every respect. When these papers came here instead of
going to the listed agent, it took me by surprise.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">She <span style="color: #c00000;">[Barbara Jensen]</span>
was removed from office two years ago because she took advantage of people and
misused her office under the Organization that had the Federal ID #. What she <span style="color: #c00000;">[Barbara Jensen]</span> did at that time, resulted in the
loss of over $450 dollars that I personally put back in, to pay the final bills
of the Federal ID # non-profit organization, from my own pocket at the time,
when I split the organization into different parts, and I stepped down and
retired from all activities.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The documents that you have are the Original <b>Abenaki
Nation of Vermont</b><span style="color: #c00000;"><b>, Inc.’d</b>, which had been </span>founded by <span style="color: #c00000;">Wayne J.</span> <span style="color: #c00000;">“</span>Chubby<span style="color: #c00000;">”</span> Hoague, Arthur “Bill” Seymour and Richard <span style="color: #c00000;">Wilfred “Black Horse”</span> Phillips in 1980-<span style="color: #c00000;">19</span>81. I have copies of the original documents
filed away in a safe place as they were entrusted to me many years ago by a
couple of the original incorporators, to include the original By-Laws (That is
for YOU and James information only, and when you happen to come this way, I
will give you copies). Like as if someone couldn’t go down and get the copies
of the incorporated CPAIN from the Secretary of State’s Office themselves?!
<span style="color: #cc0000;">[EVERYTHING was a cult and or a secret with Howard]</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">When I took control of the <b>Abenaki Nation of Vermont,
Inc.’d</b> 4 years ago </span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: times;">in ca. 1989</span><span style="font-family: times;">, it had languished as INACTIVE for over 5 years and I picked
it up, paid the mandatory Fees to the State of Vermont, and prevented David
“Sly Wolf” Hill (the Great Wannabe) from getting them; as he had got hold of
Abenaki Self-Help Association, Inc.’d up in Swanton from Homer’s group
temporarily. Swanton had to go to Court on David Hill over it, because Homer’s
group in Swanton, VT had failed to pay the State of Vermont Secretary’s Office
the mandatory fee at the time and it had gone INACTIVE.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Paul Wilson Pouliot, have a real good meeting and my
regards to all. I will get this out to you in a couple of minutes here and then
I will rest my eyes for awhile; otherwise, I have a severe headache when I got
to bed. I just finished my daily letter to my lady and my eyes are already
hurting. Take Care.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">My regards to David Savadyaga <span style="color: #c00000;">[of
Wrentham, MA]</span>. His lineage IS Ossipee. This, I know for sure, as I have
talked to the people who know, and there are a few Ossipee still around, even a
couple of families who live close to there and the Lake.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I do not need BD<span style="color: #cc0000;"> [Bruce Louis Dubois]</span> and his cohorts
<span style="color: #cc0000;">[Richard “Skip” Bernier]</span> coming around here and possibly someone getting hurt.
He knows that he is not welcome here, especially when my son is around, but
periodically he comes anyway, snooping to see what I am doing, and Flapping his
Gums and Beating his Jaws.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">My lady says for me for relay her regards to All the
People, and that they live long and joyously in the Harmony of the Creator upon
the land. I send my Best Regards also. Have a Good Meeting. Until later Adio.</span></p>

Hereditary Chief </span></strong><strong>David Andrew Hill</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> a.k.a. Sly Wolf, 59, of
Newport, Vermont, met the Great Spirit on July 09, 2005, with his tribe's
people by his bedside at the Union House Nursing Home in Glover, Vermont. He
was born in Plainville, Connecticut on <span style="color: blue;">December 25,
1945</span>. He was the son of Frederick R. and Jane C. Hill (nee: Morse). In
his early years, known for his unique auto body work, he also owned his Native
American Construction Company. Then he did his genealogy, 15 years of research
and learned who he really was, also with </span></strong><strong>his parent's oral
tradition</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> of being
Chief Greylock's descendant. … <span style="color: #c00000;">Turning that </span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: #c00000;">subjective</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #c00000; font-weight: normal;"> oral history

male descendant of the great Chief Graylock. Until his grandson was born on <span style="color: #c00000;">June 24, 2005</span>, who will be a 9th generation Chief.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">A very
positive and devoted Chief to his Nation, of his Native American Heritage, he
devoted his last years to supplying food, three tons of clothing, to the people
of all in need, and re-unity all true Native Americans to the peaceful circle
of Love, harmony and peace.<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">He leaves
his wife, Princes </span></strong><strong>Sheila
E. Hill</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> of the </span></strong><strong>Algonquin Wabanaki
Nation of Turtle Island</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">. He leaves
to children, four grandchildren, a great nephew and many nieces, nephews and
cousins. He enjoyed his kitties and wolf, trips to the ocean, and always
walking at the "Great Sacred Falls" asking the Great Spirit for
guidance of his people. A Sacred Native American Ceremony will be held, and was
held, with family, tribal people, and Chiefs and Council people from many
territories attended. Later his ashes will be spread on the Angel of the Hills
of his ancestral lands </span></strong><strong>as
he was known to his people as Wawanolette</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, The Angel of the Hills.
The Nation's New Chief will be, Reynold</span></strong> <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Choinière a.k.a. “Whitecloud”,
who will continue to walk the Red Path of Peace with his people, and continue
Hereditary Chief Hill's Legacy.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Kwai-kwai Grandfather,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">In answer to the posted questions, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mazipskwik Council</b> has indeed folded.
Why?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">A multitude of things caused the final closure, but in
general it came down to:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">1.</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> There was no place to regularly hold meetings that was big enough to
hold the entire membership.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">2.</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> There was a lack of finances. (When a organization can’t maintain
enough money for mailings and meeting space rent.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">3.</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> There was not enough members … that were willing and able to meet
regularly … and to attend to the necessary duties of council upkeep, which
include annual federal forms, grant petitions, and record keeping updates.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The member’s records are safe. I have been entrusted with
the storing and protection of all Mazipskwik records.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">No one has been removed or purged from the membership
list.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">On the Vermont recognition issue:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">When and if the bill is passed, it will recognize all
Abenaki, regardless of council affiliation. I have been asked, and am prepared
to present the Mazipskwik council’s membership list to the state, if such is
required.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Now for the downside: As currently written, the
recognition bill would only recognize Abenaki within the state of Vermont. The
rest, me included, will be out of luck.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Please note that that I was an elected member of the
Mazipskwik Tribal Council I have no authority to provide new membership. Once
the Mazipskwik council has been re-established, and a full Tribal Council is
elected, then membership issuance can resume. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I hope that covers it.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">To: Luke </b><span style="color: #c00000;">Andrew</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Willard</b><br />
Thanks Luke and everyone. I had a talk with Burton Decarr and a talk with Fred<span style="color: #c00000;">erick M.</span> Wiseman and met Harold and Nancy Lloyd,
as well as my friend who belongs to the other group and I guess it was too much
brain stimulation-- as well as frustration.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">I used to have a Missisquoi <span style="color: #c00000;">St.
Francis-Sokoki “Homer” Membership</span> Card</span></u><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"> and then they asked for more documentation and
their genealogist Chris Roy told me that my three Lampman lines, Partlow’s
(same line as Aprils' mother </span></b><span style="background: yellow; color: #c00000; mso-highlight: yellow;">Patsy</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"> and Brent Reader) were in
Vermont too long to be native</span></b>. What an idiot. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">So later I did some more
research and came up with my Partlow ancestor <u>who was a documented Indian in
civil war records of the town of Alburgh</u></span></b>. I got certified death,
birth and marriage records and submitted them to Headquarters. I was told that
after federal recognition that they would get a genealogist to officially
accept them. I also have Acadian ancestors and Marie Couc (Lapalme’s),
Dandurand’s, Patnode’s and Richard’s and Morit’s. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">So here is my friend <span style="color: #c00000;">[Lynn
Menard-Mathieson]</span> saying that though she was born and lives in <span style="color: #c00000;">Griswold, </span>Conn<span style="color: #c00000;">ecticut</span>
and she has this one single ancestor who was not even Abenaki, and she can sell
her goods under the pretense that she has a Vermont Abenaki "Band"
card?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">My daughter <span style="color: #c00000;">[Takara C.
Matthews]</span> who is in college could not access Abenaki scholarships, even
though she was in Title V Indian education in Swanton Vermont. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">It would be a sad day if I had to join a group of people
who are unrelated to me, from another state because my paper work sits waiting
in limbo. I don’t care about it myself, but my daughters' dream is to open a
native store and center where we can do community things. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">My granddaughters' real legal name is Wanibaugh Namih8sat

Kwai Carollee,<br />
Hope all is well with you. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Your family
should join the Nulhegan Band.</b> <br />
There are 3 criteria for membership. All full status members must meet 2 of the
3. The first is genealogical documentation. The second is substantial oral
history. The third is 'community perception' = whether or not the majority of
the Abenaki community considers you Abenaki. We have just as many members as
Missisquoi does. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">In fact many have left
Missisquoi <span style="color: #c00000;">[St. Francis-Sokoki group and Mazipskwik
group]</span> to join us</span></u></b>. We have monthly gatherings with the
band meeting, potluck, and drumming. I know your family would be welcomed with
open arms. Genealogies and documents are handled confidentially. Ya'll would
fit in just fine. Our enrollment is full of names you might be familiar with
such as Demar, Sawyer, Ouimet, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Snow,
Gill, Obomsawin, Otôndosonne</b>, Rockwell, Paul, Sylvester, Girard, Mason,
Hakey, Phillips, Cote, Allard, Batchelder, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Moulton</b>,
Marsh, Crowfoot, Baird ... I could go on and on. Anyhow, we're always looking
for more pieces of the puzzle. Let me know and I'll get you set up with the
Census committee. Be well.<br />

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">On Saturday <span style="color: blue;">June 03, 2006</span>
at 11:00 a.m. the Algonquin Wabanaki Sovereign Nation held as installation
ceremony for their new Chief Reynold Choinière, a.k.a. “Whitecloud”, and seven
Council members. The ceremony commenced with a Chief’s Dance, called “mowia
wegan” </span></strong><strong>which hadn’t been performed since 1870</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, to honor and respect the
Nation. The Nulhegan Band performed a ceremonial opening of the installation
ceremony with the ceremonial drum. The elder of the women lead the file of
seven chosen women dancers who danced to the ceremonial drum in a circle. The
dancers were: Elder Evelyn Pushard AKA Running Water of Randolph, Maine, “Mother
Matriarch” Theresa Van Zile a.k.a. “Many Moons” III, Princess Sheila Hill a.k.a.
“Running Water”, Councilwoman Sharon Choiniere a.k.a. “Cloud Dancer”, Janice
Conillard, Sheila Marcou, a.k.a. “Little Elk”, and Denise Russell. At the end
of the dance, Chief Reynold Choiniere a.k.a. “Whitecloud” laid a Native
American blanket on the leading elder’s shoulder and then followed with each of
the dancers. Chief Reynold Whitecloud was assisted <span style="color: #c00000;">by
his brother</span> the Associate Chief Raymond Choinière a.k.a. “Running Deer”
with the blankets. The gifts of the blankets were kept by the dancers.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Claire Bain, a.k.a. “Laughing Eyes”, read a letter from the
United Nations written by Charles Mercieca PH.D., President of International
Association of Educators of World Peace. Dr. Mercieca presented former Chief </span></strong><strong>David Hill</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, the World Peace Award with
a Medallion for the </span></strong><strong>Algonquin Wabanaki
Sovereign Nation</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, on <span style="color: blue;">December 16, 2000</span> for
resolving peaceful issues among all nations. Claire Bain read Dr. Mercieca’s
letter which went on to describe the Peril of Indigenous Tribes/Nations in the
continents of North and South America, how Europeans have infiltrated to expand
their domain and wiped out numerous indigenous tribes/nations to the point of
total destruction. They (the Europeans) developed machinery which has polluted
our air and water with toxins that have caused terminal cancer to millions of
people. In North America today, the indigenous people have been forced to
integrate in the American and Canadian societies and to adopt same lifestyles
of these mostly European invaders/settlers. The time has arrived when the
indigenous people should be recognized as a nation of their own. In recent
years, some of these indigenous people of North America got together and formed
their independent old nation under the Algonquin Wabanaki Sovereign Nation
consisting of enclaves in both Canada and the United States where indigenous
people live. The confederation revives the moribund (dying) old nation which is
meant to make richer not only North America but the whole world as well. In
forming the Algonquin Wabanaki Sovereign Nation, there is no political
precedence created. The said confederated nation will exist as an enclave
within the United States and Canada. As such, the Algonquin Wabanaki Sovereign
Nation would qualify to join the United Nations. Such Countries also reveal
great respect for the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in which
supports the freedom people to get together and form their own independent
nation. The very fact that the enclave of the Algonquin Wabanaki Sovereign
Nation is found in North America and not, say in China, makes possible for this
culturally rich old nation to be revised. The indigenous people do not have in
mind to build their own military; they would rather have a demilitarized nation
and concentrate on the development of the civilian economy, following the
footsteps of both Japan and Germany after World War II was over. Last but not
least, such indigenous people want to protect their burial grounds and rich
cultural artifacts. They want to eliminate all air and water pollution and they
want to initiate their own sovereign banking system. In other words, they want
to revive and preserve an old nation which was subdued unjustly by mostly
European invaders/settlers. This letter regarding historical and current issues
of the </span></strong><strong>Algonquin Wabanaki Sovereign Nation of Turtle
Island</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> was very well received overseas on many websites. Part 2
will run on Friday, June 16, 2006<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">The traditional ceremonial custom followed. The Mother
Matriarch Theresa Van Zile, a.k.a. “Many Moons” III, put ceremonial red paint
on the forehead of the widow of the late Chief David Hill, a.k.a. “Sly Wolf”,
taking out of her “mourning period”. This ceremony was accompanied by the quiet
low drumming of the drum. Following, Princess </span></strong><strong>Sheila Hill</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, a.k.a. “Running Water”,
made her speech of past remembrances of the late Chief, and his important
issues of sovereignty and self government of the Nation. She then presented the
Chief Reynold Whitecloud with her ceremonial gift which completed the
installation of the new Chief.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">The new Chief Reynold Choinière (a.k.a. Whitecloud) introduced
the members of the Council in which was the traditional installation of the Council
of the Algonquin Wabanaki Sovereign Nation of Turtle Island.<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Chief spoke about “who we are” as a nation. He
described how he wanted to revive the ancient </span></strong><strong>Algonquin Wabanaki
Sovereign Nation of Turtle Island</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> to preserve the spiritual
and cultural heritage and religion of our people- economic well being of
environmental protection of our people and mother earth for our future
generations.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>

described a letter from former President Bill Clinton on <span style="color: #c00000;">November 6, 2000</span>. Former President Bill Clinton
vowed to honor and respect Tribal Sovereignty, self determination, and self
government, in his revising Executive Order on Consultation and Coordination
with Tribal Governments, strengthening our government-to-government
relationship with Indian Nations.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">A bill recently passed in the Vermont (#851) House and
Senate which denies the insurance that all Executive department agencies
consult with Indian Nations/Tribes and respect Tribal Sovereignty as they
develop policy on issues that impact Indian Communities- as several of the
sections on the Vermont passed bill on the Abenaki and all native American
people in Vermont, deny and extinguish this, as: (b) the commission shall
comprise seven members and a chair appointed by the governor. {The governor has
the sole discretion on the selection of the commission members; therefore, no
tribal members of Indian Nations can nominate a representative.} The commission
shall have the authority to assist Native American Tribal Councils,
organizations, and individuals to secure social services, etc. permit the
creation, display and sale of Native American/Indian made Arts and Crafts, and
legally label them as Native American/Indian made. (18 U.S.C. & 1159
(c)(3)(B) and 25 U.S.C. & 305e(d)(3)(B). Under #853-states this title shall
not be interpreted to provide any Native American or Abenaki person with any
special rights or privileges that the state does not confer on –or grant to
other state residents, nor form any right or claim to land, real estate in
Vermont for the Abenaki people, and shall be construed to confer only those
rights specifically described in this chapter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">From Nancy </span></strong>(nee: Côté) Rolls to Philip
(“Grandfather Soaring Eagle”) <span style="color: #cc0000;">Thibault/Thibeau </span>she wrote:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Grandfather, like you have never run into any of this
card thingy, and we both know how people feel about giving their cards away. We
will have to think about this more, whatever way with prayer it will be the
right way. A question to you: Are you going to fill out one of the membership
forms? I believe that the people can keep their cards like I kept my membership
card I got from Homer <span style="color: #c00000;">St. Francis‘ group</span> and
the one I got from Chief Spirit Water <span style="color: #c00000;">[Ralph S.
Swett of the Clan of the Hawk] …</span> If they would like to join the Nulhegan
group fine, it’s up to them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: times;">Another email
of the same day …<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">I understand people not wanting to give up their membership
cards that they now carry and perhaps that is OK, but they must know that the
Mazipskwik band that they were in has been disbanded by the person who started
it (Connie Brow <span style="color: #c00000;">… Homer’s relative</span>). She
sent a letter to most of the leaders of all the other bands telling them this
and said she would never let the band start up again under its current name. I
don’t want to get involved with anything that would start some kind of war, but
I would do anything to help anyone who would like to </span></strong><strong>make sure that they
are with a state recognized band before the VT Governor decides he is going to
close the membership rolls to all the bands in the state</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="background: yellow;">All we are
asking is that each person fill out the membership form and send it in and we
will enroll them into the Nulhegan Band as members and give them all new cards</span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> and they can keep their old
cards as souvenirs, but if the Mazipskwik band should ever start back up they
would have to turn in their Nulhegan cards and ask for their records to be
returned; and that would be the same as we would do for all our members. The
only card they may ever use is the Nulhegan Band card as long as they are
members, as it is illegal to carry two cards from two bands, but because
Mazipskwik is no longer a viable band, we feel it will not be a problem at this
time.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>

this all those who are left standing by themselves will be put on a shelf until
the state gets through all of the state bands first. I am not trying to tell

I and many of my people have personal and confidential information in those

the hands of the Nulhegan band. All the paperwork should have been returned to
Mike and Ina Delaney themselves until it was retrieved by the Mazipskwik
members. I am requesting the name, email address and telephone number of the
person or persons that Ina Delaney turned everything over to, a few years ago,
who has decided on her own to deliver these membership files to the Nulhegan
group without consent or permission. This is an outrage and we are also considering
this a theft of personal property that was left to Ina Delaney for safe
keeping, not one of us have every given permission to have our personal files
released to any other agent. Files were not left with the understanding that
there was an intention of them being passed off or handed over to any other
band under any circumstances.<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Per the </span></strong><strong>999-EZ documents</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></strong><strong>filed</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, Paul Wilson Pouliot
claimed (fraudulently) that the organization’s office headquarters (160 Dailey
in Franklin, MA) had been “broken into” and that “a theft of corporate records,
cash, and other assets had occurred”. All corporate record had been allegedly
stolen on <span style="color: blue;">Feb. 14, 2006</span> (valued at over
$10,000.00 in replacement expense), and that the corporate safe had been
entered and all cash, postage, and cash value, along with Stop & Shop food
vouchers had been stolen.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">The office headquarters were seized in a “domestic dispute”
during <span style="color: blue;">February 2006</span> that resulted in the
relocation of the office. All corporate furniture, equipment, and supplies had
to be replaced in 2006.</span></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">By <span style="color: blue;">Feb. 09, 2006</span> Linda, Paul’s
wife, suspecting what her husband Paul was getting up to, told her soon-to-be ex spouse, that IF he left their home in Franklin, MA (to be with Denise Beauregard) that
he was “no longer welcome to return”. The home door locks were changed on or
about <span style="color: blue;">Feb. 14, 2006</span>. He claimed in his newspaper
of early 2006, that he had left his home and Band headquarters “to resolve some
family and personal issues with his wife.” He decided to leave, thus leaving
all corporate and membership records therein Linda’s home, and went to Forestdale,
MA to be with Denise, the corporate Cowass North America, Inc.’d Treasurer. </span></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">While Paul W. Pouliot was attending to “business” with Denise in Forestdale,
MA, where she had decided go, having decided it was time to leave her husband
Jamie, since she was with Paul Pouliot retrospectively, a meeting
had been held with a minority of Directors for the group’s <span style="color: blue;">1995</span>-started Food Pantry in Franklin, MA. Linda, P.A.
<span style="color: #c00000;">(Paul Andrew) </span>Pouliot, James Mehigan, Bonnie
(nee: Pouliot) Akerman, James Akerman and Susan Barbour had met specifically to
remove Paul Pouliot and Denise Mehigan from the Food Pantry’s Board of
Directors. Susan Barbour (a non-member and Franklin Town employee) had been
made the President and Bonnie Akerman (Paul and Linda’s daughter) had been
voted the new treasurer. Jamie Mehigan voted the clerk, and P.A. Pouliot had
been made the recording secretary. Paul Pouliot implied someone broke into
Linda’s (and his former) home in Franklin, MA, and stole the group equipment,
records, and member genealogies.<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">What was Paul W. Pouliot doing with Denise Beauregard</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">On <span style="color: blue;">March 06, 2006</span> “family
members” had reported that Linda Pouliot had allegedly been attacked. That she
had been taking out the garbage out, and she was attacked in her driveway, in
the evening. </span></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">Of course this could have been a false police report of assault,
by Linda herself, playing “victim”.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">Paul Pouliot claimed in this early newsletter that he
apologized for to the group’s members for all my family’ continuing behavior
over the current situation, but that he could not be held responsible for them
or their actions; <span style="color: #c00000;">or HIS and DENISE’s either
apparently</span>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Due to the above dynamics, and “re-organization” Paul
Pouliot, in his newsletter of April 2006, claimed that due to the potential
issue of “identity fraud” of the group, that he (and others) were requesting
that if a member were contacted by any other group or individual in regards to
their membership in the Pouliot-led group, transferring their membership(s) to
another group, relocating their genealogical/familial records to another tribal
group office location, </span></strong><strong><span style="background: yellow;">questioning the validity of their </span></strong><strong><span style="background: yellow; color: #c00000; font-weight: normal;">supposed </span></strong><strong><span style="background: yellow;">Abenaki heritage</span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">, or that the group’s name
had changed or its location, to then contact Paul Pouliot or the F.B.I. in
Albany, NY or Boston, MA immediately. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: times;">AGAIN, NO BODY ought to be questioning
the validity of their self-identity</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong>The TRUTH and REALITY</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> had been that, in <span style="color: blue;">February 2006</span>, Paul Pouliot decided to abandon his
decent responsibilities, as a man, as a father, as a husband, and as a leader of a CPAIN group.
He lied about the alleged theft of assets, records, genealogies of members, their
applications, equipment, etc. Those records were ALWAYS in Linda’s home. He
left everything, for Denise. NOTHING was ever stolen or broken into; it had
been left behind by Paul Pouliot! Linda (nee: Whites) Pouliot gave him a choice,
stay or leave, but the latter action had consequences. He chose to leave. </span></strong></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><strong><span>Lust
is blind to the reality of consequences</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: times;"><b>NOTE:</b> Paul W.

when one looks at the notarized document of <span style="color: blue;">January

2007, before me personally appeared Burton Decarr and known by me to be the
person who executed the foregoing instrument, and she thereupon duly
acknowledged to me that she executed the same to be her free act and deed.
Well, last time I seen Mr. Burton Decarr he appeared to be physically a
male/adult man, NOT a "she" or a "female". So you do the
math.....<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Hi Vince,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Mr. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dan Brush </b>told
me to send you a few very brief facts, since you have received too many
long-winded letters and demands. I hope these five are short and clear. I will
be at the State House tomorrow at the VT Champlain Quadricentennial display at
the Card Room. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You asked me to get everyone on board
for the compromise. I did so. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Missisquoi</b>,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nulhegan</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Koasek</b> (including <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">El-nu as a
sub-group </b><span style="color: #c00000;">to the Koasek of the Koas led by
Nancy Millette</span>) are self-governing tribal political entities with
historical presence in Vermont. They represent ALL of the entities that, in my
opinion as a scholar of the Abenaki experience, would meet the “tribal”
qualifications set forth by the Federal Government’s requirements under the “state-recognized
tribes” section of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. They represent over 3,000
Vermont Abenakis – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">a large constituency</b>.
Missisquoi is focused in Northwestern Vermont, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nulhegan</b> is in your district, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Koasek</b>
is in Eastern Vermont, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">El-nu</b> is
Southern Vermont – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">complete state
coverage</b>. They now work together in unity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">2.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no anthropologically or
historically detectable “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Moccasin

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Clan of the Hawk</b><span style="color: #c00000;">, Inc.’d </span>is (by their own admission on their
website) an educational/cultural, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">not a political
organization</b>, and so cannot be recognized as presently constituted. <span style="color: #c00000;">Richard</span> Skip Bernier’s group “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Odanak Abenakis of Vermont</b>” is recognized in Canada, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">derives its political authority from there</span></u></b>,
and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">has no dependent Vermont
political/corporate basis</b>. [<span style="color: #c00000;">Clearly, Wiseman
was lying, because Skip had in fact, amended the Corporation name of Cowasuck

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Subject: Re: Traditional Abenaki Family Band Structure</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Greetings, Vince</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mark Mitchell
forwarded me the following letter</b>, and on reading it, I am concerned at the
casual manner in which the presumed legitimacy of specific Abenaki families,
bands, and tribes is discussed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The traditional structure of Abenaki governance, as the
primary Scholars of Wabanaki history have long observed (e.g. Frank Speck,
Irving Hallowell, Colin Calloway, David Steward-Smith, etc. etc.) is the family
band, a grouping that, among Algonkian peoples, can range in size from small
extended family (5-10 individuals) to a cluster of families forming a larger
band (30-300 or more individuals). There is no firm consensus among
anthropologists, federal agencies, or Native Americans about the precise
distinction between a “band” and a “tribe,” nor is there any general agreement
about the size of a Native American group must be to be considered a “tribe.”
There is, in fact, considerable debate about the degree to which the use of the
term “tribe” may represent a somewhat modern (post-colonial) reconstruction of
a historic group.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: times;">[Blah, blah and more blah]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">That being said, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">there
is no question whatsoever in my mind,</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">or
in the Vermont documentation, that</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the
St. Francis-Sokoki Band of Missisquoi Abenaki constitutes a tribe</b>. If the
original legislation we drafted in 2005-2006 had passed, as written, and had
not been altered by the governor at the last minute, this question would
already have been put to rest, since one of the explicit intents of that
legislation was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">to acknowledge
Missisquoi as the longest-standing, best-documented, Abenaki group in the state
of Vermont</b>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The Nulhegan and Koasek bands represent Native families
with deep roots in Vermont, but they have not been actively engaged with the
Vermont government in seeking State Recognition for as long as Missisquoi has. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">El-nu included a number of individuals who</b>,
until quite recently, identified <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">themselves
as “Woodland Indian re-enactors”</b> rather than as Abenakis, but it is not my
place to judge their ancestry.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">First, there is an “historically detectable Moccasin
Village/ Winooski Band,” in the form of a small cluster families identified as
“Winooski” in 17th and 18th century documents, and identified “gypsies” and
other derogatory terms when living in “Moccasin village” and other parts of
Burlington close to the interval. Dr. Wiseman himself briefly discussed the
presence of this historic band in his article “The Abenaki and the Winooski”
(in Laura Krawitt, ed. The Mills at Winooski Falls, Winooski, VT: Onion River Press
2000.) Frederick Wiseman wrote “There are Winooskik families on Burlington’s
Old North End bluffs overlooking the interval, just as they have for thousands
of years. Winooskik has always been here and it will continue to be. Thus, I am
puzzled at Frederick M. Wiseman’s attempt to now discredit Judy Dow, and by
extension, Nancy Gallagher, since these two have done exhaustive scholarly work
to document the very families that he wrote about.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Second, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">no one
individual</b>, Abenaki or not, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">has sufficient information or
knowledge to presume to be in a position to judge the ancestry of</span></b>
what are (somewhat unfortunately) described as “scattered unorganized
families.” Louise Lampman’ family, for example, is connected to a band of
approximately 300 individuals that have long and deep roots at Missisquoi, even
though they have separated from the St. Francis Sokoki group over old family
issues.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">My conclusion is this:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Any individual who presumes to
judge the legitimacy of these various families and bands may only, inadvertently,
cause further stress and division</span></b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">It is my opinion that the legislature created a group –
the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs – which was charged with the
task of resolving this issue. That group has deliberated on this issue for a
full year and a half, and it was my understanding that they had drafted a fair
and equitable process for recognizing Abenaki tribes, bands and families in the
state. To my mind, as I stated earlier, I believe that the Missisquoi bands
should be recognized without delay, as they should been years ago.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">Dr. Margaret Bruchac<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Adjunct Faculty, Tufts University</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: times;">First of all, Margaret
(Bruchac) Kennick is simply a member of the Missisquoi St. Francis-Sokoki group
(this is readily discerned from her publications) so she is promoting and
protecting (with a bias) her membership in said group, because that gives her
“legitimacy” (so she surmised). As a scholar, she’s outright declaring that the
Bureau of Federal Acknowledgement had been incorrect in their findings about
the group she belongs to! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: times;">Marge Bruchac declares that
NO ONE ought to evaluate the merits of someone else’s self-identity as an
“Abenaki” (because she KNOWS that her brother Joseph Bruchac, and herself, had
been spinning a web of subjective nonsense about their own ancestors, the
Bowman’s! For the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">$$$$</b>)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: times;">April 2008 -<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">From: Louise
Lampman – Larivee<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">To (</b>Senator
Vincent Illuzzi, Senator Hinda Miller, Senator Carris, Senator Condos, and
Senator Racine that comprised) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the Committee
on Economic Development:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Senator Vincent Illuzzi and Committee Members:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I am appalled by what is going on within Native
communities. I have received many phone calls and emails from all over in
regards with all the stuff that is being said on how this amendment is affecting
everyone’s lives.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">In <span style="color: blue;">2005</span>, I was sent a
letter from the Native American Federal Arts and Crafts Board informing us that
unless there was State Recognition as a tribe, we could not sell our crafts. In
turn, my brother Lester Lampman had set up an appointment with Susanne Young
about this topic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">My brother Lester Lampman, Larry Lapan Sr, Connie Brow
and myself had attended this meeting which was held in Montpelier. We are
unsure if anything was said to anyone else about this meeting. I asked myself
as to why did <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jeff Benay</b>, the
ex-Chairman of the Governor’s Commission on Native American Affairs (of which I
sat on for two terms with him) not ask me to speak? I had seen him on a regular
basis for our offices were just down the hall from each other. He was and is
aware of the different factions within the Abenaki Nation and he has known
these dynamics about it all for many years.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">In <span style="color: blue;">2006</span>, I testified for
State Recognition, after being asked by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Senator
Carolyn Branagan</b> to do so.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">When I finished my testimony that went for about 45
minutes, if not longer, I was subsequently complimented on how professional I
was, and someone had inquired as to why I had not been the first one to
testify, for my testimony would have answered a lot of questions about who
these other bands were.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">When the new Commission was set up, my brother Lester
Lampman and I did approach the Commission with this letter about the Arts and
Crafts Law. Chairman <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mark Mitchell</b>
and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jeanne Brink</b> along with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Judy Dow</b> were concerned enough to start
conversations about the matter.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">My family being
one of the oldest family bands from the Missisquoi tribe</b> that has been in
contact with this Commission on Native American Affairs, we have given input to
the effects of this amendment. Most of my family members are working (employed)
people who cannot take time away from their jobs, to testify at hearings.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I guess one question would be: Has any one from the
Committee ever listened to my testimony, considering that this amendment is to
rectify a bill?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I would like to correct some information that Mr. Wiseman
has been passing around, especially when it concerns my reputation and family.
For his information, I represent <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">my
family band</b>, of which there are <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">250
members therein</b>. This would include siblings, their children and first
cousins and 2nd cousins. This does not include a few out there that I did not
add into this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">If he had such a connection within the larger Abenaki
community of Franklin County, Vermont, he would have known this, and he does
not mention the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">LaPan family band</b> or
the other family bands of which it has always been the way of the head of a
family spokesperson for the family, but the one who is willing and able to
speak. Why didn’t he contact all of the heads of these family bands?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I find it insulting that he claims to be the tribal
historian of the Abenaki people, when he does not know who the people are. What
knowledge could he possibly hold, if he has never spoken to me or any other
member of my family? Does he not realize that I have been involved in tribal
affairs for over 30 years; long before he or Jeff Benay were ever in the
picture?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I remember when <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jane
Beck</b> did the interviews with my father <span style="color: #c00000;">in 1976</span>.
We still have the transcribed copies along with many tapes of my grandmother
who said on the tape that she was born in a cave (not the Fortin one … just to
correct a rumor going around). These interviews were done before the St.
Francis/ Sokoki bands existed. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c00000;">[Lie No. whatever it is]</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">I also feel it is important to remember that the St.
Francis/Sokoki Band are those that lived on the St. Francis river, not the
family name (St. Francis) which after doing seven years of cultural competency
trainings, that this issue always comes up.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The tribe they all belonged to now should be the
Missisquoi Tribe. This amendment is wrong for an aboriginal people. To
acknowledge more than one Tribe within Vermont takes the rights away from those
of us who know who we are.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">There is no simple answer to this and by far, means to
rush something that is so important is unfair to all of us. It is the
responsibility for the State of Vermont’s government to make a right of a bill
that was done wrong but not the right of a State government to decide who the
Indians are, by listening to a few people.’</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">This amendment has turned Native against Native and
allowed some to think they have the Abenaki scholar experience about tribal
qualifications. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Some have gone to length
as to ridicule people</b> <span style="color: #c00000;">[such as Homer St.
Francis Sr.] </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">who have passed on</b>.
This, in my book, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">is one of the lowest
things for someone to do</b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">It should also be known that <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nulhegan</b>,
the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Koasek</b> and the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">El-nu</b>, as they call themselves, being
bands or groups, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">are not Tribes</b>. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">They may be bands that belong to the
Missisquoi Tribe</b>.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">In closing, I hope everyone remembers what the Native
American Commission was set up for. A commission made up of Native people, to
make choices for the Native people. It is unfair for all of us, to bad mouth a
group of volunteers who gave up many hours of their time to put people in a
position where discussions are today , amending a bill that was set up for
minorities, not the Aboriginal people.</span></p>

Pouliot (Treasurer) and Denise Mehigan (Treasurer) REMOVED from the CPAIN organization? </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Not to mention the obvious BETRAYAL, considering James Mehigan and Denise had been married by Paul Wilson Pouliot (Aln8bak Newsletter 2001-3 Page 4) "in a traditional Abenaki Marriage ceremony" in Hopkinton, MA on August 18, 2001... only to realize by at least Feb. 2006 (if not sooner) that Denise & Paul Pouliot were "more than" just Council members. No wonder Linda, her children and Denise' husband James Mehigan were hostile to both Denise and Paul Pouliot!!</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>As the T.V. character "Young Sheldon" said to his older brother George Cooper Jr., while at the dining room table ... <u>THINK MONKEY</u> ... <u>THINK</u>!! </b></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #cc0000;">It doesn't take a 'rocket scientist' to figure out (and conclude), that the so-called "theft" and CPA business was a ruse and a distortion for other "business", to cover up a action/reaction that had consequences. Paul Pouliot had subsequently implied he was the "victim" of someone else's actions/ reactions ... but <u>NEVER</u> due to his own, thus the apparent sobriquet "Little Napoleon"... who had incorporated his "fiefdom" CPAIN in VT, NH, NY, ME, MA, RI, WA, and CA since early 1993. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Pouliot had been <b>metastasizing his </b>FAKE "Abenaki" CPAIN "cancer" ... across the U.S.A. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #cc0000;">When he and his group of Race Shifters / Wannabiiak had filed their <b>intent </b>for 'future seeking' of federal acknowledgement in 1995, of their declaration of having been created in Feb. 1993 as a <b>"Native American Indian organization"</b>, Pouliot assumed that such <b>intent letter</b> and subsequent acknowledgement of receiving such, by the BIA, meant that the CPAIN group that Pouliot led, was somehow suddenly a legitimate Native American Band (and organization), and as such were /are 'protected' under <b>U.S. Federal Code Title 25</b>.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">URL LINK:<span style="color: #cc0000;"> <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/25" target="_blank"><b>25 U.S. Code Title 25—INDIANS</b></a><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Pouliot disclosed in his <b>Aln8bak newsletter 2006-3 Page 4</b>, that they had his CPAIN org headquartered in Franklin, MA in a deliberate effort to avoid the numerous Abenaki conflicts that were going in Vermont and New Hampshire in the 1980's. Yet he and his group CAME OUT OF the CPAIN groups created by Howard F. Knight (et al) in early 1993 as documented in this blog with their documentation! Paul Wilson Pouliot on Pg.'s. 4 and 5 was nothing more than him being hypocritical, complicit and duplicitous IMHO having spent the time and effort reviewing the origins and shenanigans of his CPAIN group.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diEcPwlcha8/YNDWxYF12SI/AAAAAAAAZSc/cCKz9qdW1JIljzenVYNzJqAfgtPI2CgqACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2716.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diEcPwlcha8/YNDWxYF12SI/AAAAAAAAZSc/cCKz9qdW1JIljzenVYNzJqAfgtPI2CgqACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2716.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b8-0pGhkPwE/YNDW2Wxgh2I/AAAAAAAAZSg/botkhSEkaowa-F7zHEntN3xPDn-KlCisQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b8-0pGhkPwE/YNDW2Wxgh2I/AAAAAAAAZSg/botkhSEkaowa-F7zHEntN3xPDn-KlCisQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2717.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eJ0gJ9vFP3g/YNDW8gpvsiI/AAAAAAAAZSk/lEZ1_Bfw9kYi-SNaixBt0vgd1gpATQuDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eJ0gJ9vFP3g/YNDW8gpvsiI/AAAAAAAAZSk/lEZ1_Bfw9kYi-SNaixBt0vgd1gpATQuDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2718.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_nxZ0tL_8lE/YNDXBZHjdJI/AAAAAAAAZSs/XOaw_l0KoZ49j5ZSSs10qhjQtW8Pnj_QACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_nxZ0tL_8lE/YNDXBZHjdJI/AAAAAAAAZSs/XOaw_l0KoZ49j5ZSSs10qhjQtW8Pnj_QACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2719.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Dnu3B_kJVE/YNDl9fSfilI/AAAAAAAAZS8/niN5BxQIwQs9cVx67aP6BSaXJJ2ETyY2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2721.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Dnu3B_kJVE/YNDl9fSfilI/AAAAAAAAZS8/niN5BxQIwQs9cVx67aP6BSaXJJ2ETyY2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2721.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3xx2it0_6Xw/YNDmFGH2LeI/AAAAAAAAZTE/myYi19RxagQ8FUOQooCCnZ84RPC3_PRlgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2722.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3xx2it0_6Xw/YNDmFGH2LeI/AAAAAAAAZTE/myYi19RxagQ8FUOQooCCnZ84RPC3_PRlgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2722.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CB-sKRYLrVs/YNDl_0AdSLI/AAAAAAAAZTA/HgUJN01cF8cRECz6sEDvB0b797jXua_cgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2723.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CB-sKRYLrVs/YNDl_0AdSLI/AAAAAAAAZTA/HgUJN01cF8cRECz6sEDvB0b797jXua_cgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2723.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Yes indeed, Lynn Menard-Mathieson had given me a full set of Aln8bak Newsletters, and amongst those were these documents from 2006.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Hi Paul,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">“Finally have the info on who took the records from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ina Delaney</b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">It was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kathleen
Westhaver</b> and her partner, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lisa.</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Their address was supposed to be in Nashua, New
Hampshire; but I am unable to find it. At one time there was an address was in
Central Ossipee, New Hampshire.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">It appears to me that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ina Delaney</b> is very afraid to talk. She doesn't give information
easily!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is hard for me to
understand what these people think they are going to accomplish.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Hope all is well with you and Denise.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">So you SEE that from Homer’s group of supporters voted
him in by a mere 3 votes in October 1995, Homer, regardless of his
“forcefulness” and anti-this-that-and everything else in his Playing the
Abenaki Persona, he could not control those who didn’t agree with his positions
and attitude. Of course there were insinuations/accusations of “ballot
stuffing” by Homer’s daughter, April St. Francis [Rushlow – Merrill] by those
that did not support <span style="color: #c00000;">[hostile]</span> Homer for
“Chief”, especially the Lampman’s and their followers, who had wanted “Blackie”
Lampman’s <span style="color: #c00000;">[moderate]</span> son to be elected. Mike
Delaney and his wife Ina (nee: Thompson) then left Homer’s group and went with
the Mazipskwik group, led by Homer’s relative Constance “Connie” Brow (and Dave
Gilman, et al). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">So, the applicant forms (and other accompanying
documentation) submitted for membership into the Mazipskwik, was held by, in
custody, by Mike and Ina Delaney (Ina having survived her husband). Therein, it
is alleged in the above email communication, that Kathleen Westhaver and her
partner (Lisa) then obtained (legally or otherwise), those membership records
of the Homer-spinoff-group, the Mazipskwik, and eventually those applicant
forms of the defunct Mazipskwik made their way into the hands of the Nulhegan
group that came into being in ca. 2004, metastasizing outward from the Clan of
the Hawk group in Evansville, then-led-by the late Ralph Skinner Swett (Chief “Spirit
Water”) who claimed to be “Abenaki” too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: times;">In the late Ralph
Swett’s own words:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The Nulhegan group started with the Clan of The Hawk. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nancy </b><span style="color: #c00000;">Lee

pertaining to the membership of the clan “to work on them”. Then, with the help
of another member she had copied all of the clan’s information. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">They were planning to leave the Clan of the
Hawk</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">to start their own group</b>
where they could be the chiefs. So <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">they
took all this information</b> to help fill the rolls of their own band. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">All the members of the beginning
of the Nulhegan band came out of the Clan of The Hawk</span></b>, an <s>Abenaki</s>
band of <span style="color: #c00000;">race shifters</span> long-standing in
Evansville, Vermont. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">In its early days, The Clan of The Hawk was helped to set
up by Chief <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Walter Watso</b> of the
Odanak Band in Canada, by Grand Ambassador <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Darrell
Larocque</b> who came to our group several times, and by Chief <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Howard Knight Jr</b>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">The Clan of The Hawk quickly grew to a large band of <s>Native

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">Those members who left the Clan of The Hawk to join the
Nulhegan Band, most of them never even asked to leave the clan, let alone
notified me.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;">A lot of them had helped in many ways while they were

very much missed. Despite these losses, the Clan of The Hawk did keep moving
on; <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">new members came in all the time</b>.
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lots of different members have come and
gone</b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="background: white;">The clan has complete

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Cowasuck Band Tribal Council meeting was held in

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The national constitution was reviewed and discussed. The
consensus was that there were no adverse issues preventing our acceptance of

revised to some extent to address the acknowledgement and acceptance of all the
Abenaki Nation’s individual tribal councils, bands, and groups.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Furthermore, the rights of individual tribal members and
their representation by a tribal council for their choice needed to be
resolved.</p>

our distance family groups <span style="color: #c00000;">[Pease family members in
CA and Paul Rene Tamburro in Yakima/Olympia, WA?]</span> to get their input to
these issues. The directives given were to precede with the unity negotiations
using our best judgment on these matters.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Overall, the consensus was to go forward, to negotiate
the unity of all our bands, councils, and tribal groups into one Nation of
Abenaki People, and to secure the mutual acknowledgement and autonomy between
all of them and the Cowasuck Band Tribal Council.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We of the Cowasuck Band of the Abenaki People look
forward to our mutual acknowledgement as one People united as the Abenaki
Nation.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It was agreed to make this written statement and to

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Council & Business Meeting Minutes</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">An emergency council and business meeting of the
Coos-Cowasuck Band and Cowass North America, Inc.’d was called by the Council
Chief and President Paul Pouliot, Sub-Chief Phillip Martin, and Treasurer and
Secretary Linda Pouliot at about mid-day, in Littleton, New Hampshire, at the
Abenaki peoples gathering in Remick Park.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In attendance were two corporate officers and trustees,
family representatives, elders, and council members that represented and spoke
for 17 of the 28 voting council members and two of the three corporate
officers. The Pouliot, Martin, Barrette, Blanchette, Sherman, Willame, Martin
(voting for Parrett), Pouliot (voting for Nickles, Pease, Tamburro) members
were represented. Consensus was made that the meeting could be called to order.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The meeting was called due to the “hostile” take-over
efforts of the council and cooperation by Raymond Lussier, and other parties.
Paul Pouliot et al left peacefully from the unity meeting. Raymond Lussier
stayed and represented his own interests. Following the meeting Ray declared to
our band members at the gathering that he was now the chief of our band and
that he wanted know if they were going to be loyal to him or Paul Pouliot and <b>that he would get them membership cards
from the other band</b> <span style="color: #c00000;">led by Homer</span>. The
consensus was that the unity efforts were a deception to take over our band,
corporation, monies, and other resources. The actions of the other parties to
make Raymond Lussier the chief of our band and corporation are an unauthorized
and illegal act of aggression, thus Ray Lussier was removed from any and all
position of authority (corporate Clerk) but his position as a council member or
tribal judge will be resolved at a future meeting, pending further
investigation. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Many of Homer St. Francis’ people were heavily armed with
guns and knives, and that threats of violence were made by these people to the
Pouliot family on two occasions.</p>

Barrette was nominated and approved as the new corporate Clerk.</p>

Pouliot received two letters from Howard F. Knight Jr.</b> of which the summary
was that some group called the “Grand Council” had taken action against them
[Paul Pouliot] such that they did not recognize Pouliot and that Knight was
taking our “band” and headquarters back to Vermont. Ray Lussier had been
ordered to get all tribal records, members’ personal records, property, etc.
from Pouliot himself to return such to Howard Knight Jr.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Paul Pouliot had mentioned that Howard F. Knight Jr. had
retired, quit, and left Paul’s group’s Council twice, and that there had never
been any proof or legitimacy given to show that he or any “grand council” had
ever been elected or would have any weight of authority. Howard Knight Jr.
claimed to have chiefs, judges, and other tribal leaders. Reality was that
Knight had appointed himself chief and got a handful of his close friends to
make up the membership in this “grand” clique. The St. Francis and Knight
groups have no more authority over us than we do over them, Pouliot had stated.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">[So since Howard Knight Jr.
was illegitimate and making things up (had no authority) then since Paul
Pouliot in January 1993 obtained his “title-position-group” from Knight, then
the shit flows downhill eh and therefore Paul Pouliot’s group the
Cowasuck-Pennacook People/Cowass North America, Inc.’d had been created from
Howard Knight Jr., who accord to Paul Pouliot, had any weight of authority … it
was just one race shifter creating group after group, corporate entity after
another (including Pouliot’s) and the operative word being ‘metastasize’ like
some cancer on N’dakinna or a virus, like Herpes from Colonial Settlers and
their EGO’s to be self-important, pontificating, in their attempts to control

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">The “Tolba Clan” renaissance
of the 1990’s was led by Ms. Kevin Parson as “President” and Roger Longtoe
Sheehan as “Vice President.” Ms. Kevin Parson noted that the Tolba Clan
organization had evolved from, or what was based on, what she called the “Old
Tolba” of the area. The antecedent Tolba cultural group is the fourth regional
signifier, like the Deer (“Nolka Clan”) of the Thetford, VT area … <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">In due course, the Tolba Clan
declined as a cultural entity – finally dissolving in (as a legal entity) in
1999 … whereupon Roger Sheehan and other leaders took it upon themselves to
formulate a successor … the modern “Elnu Abenaki Tribe.” IN REALITY, the Elnu
group derived from a Woodlands Re-enactor group, who liked to dress up “as
Indians”, subsequently making regalia along the lines of what they found in
books (such as “The Micmac: How Their Ancestors Lived Five Hundred Ago” by Ruth
Holmes Whitehead, Harold Mcgee ©1985, museums etc; and eventually claimed to be
“Abenakis” and claiming they were doing “living history” in their “Native
encampments”(instead of “reenacting” as such) in that reenactments and Woodland
Indian-ism’s has become blurred with those who self-identify as Indian or
Abenaki (much like the persona of “Iron Eyes Cody”, an Italian actor).</span></p>

the answers to my question(s)</span> regarding Allan Martel (nephew to James
Robinson); that he was sent down to Manchester, NH <b>as a agent of Homer St. Francis</b>’s group in NW Vermont. Swanton was

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Apparently there was a balance that was becoming
unbalanced. In that Swanton "was" getting this money from the Boston
Indian Center. But there was a falling out between Homer St. Francis and Allan

pissed Homer off. <span style="color: #c00000;">[Sound familiar?]</span>. Allan
Martel pretty much went his own way at that point. How Sherry Gould got involved
was Allan Martel's wife <b>Marcy Martel</b>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">After Homer St. Francis had the outs with Allan Martel,
Allan then subsequently created the <b>Abenaki
Nation of New Hampshire</b> as a <b>Community
Project</b> (He did the <b>Abenaki Indian
Center</b> while as an agent for Homer until Homer got pissed off at him for
"stealing from him" which was really just getting the funding that
Homer used to get, instead of going through Homer, Alan "cut" the
middleman out of the "game" is what it looked like, to get the
funding directly; and Homer got mad......sounds like Mafia type activities
don’t it?</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">So anyway, <b>James <span style="color: #c00000;">(Jim)</span> Robinson</b> and <b>Eno</b> were part of the thing. Allan Martel wanted Eno to be Sachem of
this <b>Abenaki Nation of New Hampshire</b>,
but apparently Eno was not into the whole endeavor and Allan wanted to have <b>Sherry (nee: Blanchard) Gould</b> as Vice
Sachem. There were "elections" according to Sherry Gould. Allan then
asked <b>Charles Francis True Jr.</b> to be
Vice-Sachem/ Chief because Sherry Gould declined taking the position. This was
at the "formation meeting".</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Then <b>at the first
Mi-Ti-Jo Campground Pow-wow Allan <span style="color: #c00000;">Allen</span> <span style="color: #c00000;">Martell</span> was "forced out"</b>. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">It </span>probably <span style="color: #c00000;">had</span> something to do with Allan being funded; and
not Homer <span style="color: #c00000;">St. Francis Sr.</span> anymore. <b>Jay Robinson</b> was there, who was <b>son to James Robinson</b>. They would <b>meet at the Epsom Community Center</b>. Eno
would do this stuff with sage and smudge, without explanations to those going
into this event/meeting which made Sherry uncomfortable.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Brian Blanchard</b>,
<span style="color: #c00000;">[Sherry's brother]</span> was asked to participate
in cutting down trees in the White Mountain National Forest by people led by
and allied with Homer St. Francis in their attempt to get noticed and allegedly
by declaring their Sovereignty to cut down trees. This was when they were
fighting with Homer St. Francis, and Allan creating the <b>Abenaki Nation of New Hampshire </b>Constitution. Which was right
around the time of his departure from the group and that’s when Charles Francis
True Jr. was made “Speaker/ Chief” of the <b>Abenaki
Nation of New Hampshire</b> group.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">So, for all intents and
purposes the "<b>Abenaki Nation of New
Hampshire</b>" led by the now-deceased Charles Francis True Jr. was <b>created out of a Community Project</b> which
had been initially created, and promoted by Allan Martel <b>after</b> their so called "Chief" Homer St. Francis made him
"an Abenaki Ambassador"/ agent of Swanton, Vermont's
"group" …. Subsequently, Allan Martel created the <b>Abenaki Indian Center</b> in Manchester,
N.H. … much like Homer made Nancy Lee (Millette) Cruger an Ambassador. Walter
Watso was doing the same, making Ambassadors with a stolen Odanak Seal, which
Walter made “fake” Odanak documents, giving “legitimacy” to so many race
shifting wannabiiak. And when Allan and Homer had ‘torn their bed sheets apart’
and so on, Allan then subsequently created the “<b>Abenaki Nation of New Hampshire</b>” group of pretend “Abenakis”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In early May, another <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>self-identifying</u></b> Abenaki Chief of the Cowasuck appeared on
the Vermont landscape, by the name of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Elwin
“Joe” Merle Pero</b> (the son of Harry C. Pero and Edith Godfrey) of Thetford,
Orange County, Vermont. Elwin (Joe) Pero was supposedly Coos Chief from 1947 to
1981! (laughter). The year 1947 is based off of a photograph of people standing
and sitting outside of a house (typical of the times wherein families simply
got together, but Howard along with the Pero’s reinvented this photo into
something of a dynamic that it was not. Certainly not a tribal meeting!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It appeared that Joe Pero on <span style="color: blue;">June
07, 1981</span> had allegedly scribbled his name onto an incorporate document dated
<span style="color: blue;">Feb. 02, 1980</span> implying he was a “Chief” of the
“<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Coos Band of the Abenaki Nation</b>” in
Thetford, Vermont, in the presence of Alden Palmer Sr. also of Thetford, VT.

1975</span>.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">[Probably to align with the

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">[Interestingly, on this same document, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Richard Wilfred Phillips</b> a.k.a.
“Black Horse” (incorporator) claiming to be a “Chief” of Highgate, VT, had
signed this document, as did also <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Arthur
W. Seymour</b> (yet another Chief) of Burlington, VT. Yet Wayne J. Hoague of
West Swanton had not signed this incorporation document dated <span style="color: blue;">August 10th of 1981</span>.]</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The document of incorporation appears to have been <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>manipulated</u></b> … by Howard Franklin
Knight Jr., yet another who claimed to be “chief,” who had written on the right
hand side of the page ‘Joe Pero’ (forged) signature that eluding <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">that Howard was acting per order from
Richard Phillips</b>, of the “combined confederation.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of these half dozen “Abenaki” “chiefs”
were making things up as they were going along.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">Howard F. Knight Jr.
proceeded to up into the late 1980’s began making additions and changes to the

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">In mid-July 1983 - <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Former member
of the St. Francis-Sokoki band, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Richard
Wilfred "Black Horse" Phillips</b>, of Sutton, VT had traveled 2
hours to attend the “fish-in” protest demonstration because he wanted to see a
decision by the courts on the issue. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Richard
“Black horse” Phillips had been in Swanton, he very recently had submitted a
letter to Jim Medor, claiming he had made a mistake in leaving the group, and
creating another; and that he wanted unity. Jim Medor had said the Eastern
Woodlands Band, as well as the two other splinter groups, [the Green Mountain
band (led by Wayne Hoague), and the Missisquoi band (led by Rudolph Kent
Ouimet), formed about the same time, lacked the verifiable historical roots
contrary to that of the St. Francis-Sokoki Band, which (according to Jim Medor)
had been in existence “as far back as time went.” </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>True, 1975 was
technically “historically” in the “past”, being that it was now <span style="color: blue;">mid-July 1983</span>. Jim Medor implied that Richard
Phillips had not done any genealogical research on any members of the created
group he had just resigned from. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chief of
the “Eastern Woodlands Band of the Abenaki Nation” Richard Phillips had
submitted his resignation, as chief and as a member, of his own group. He then
rejoined the dominant “St. Francis-Sokoki Band” led by “Blackie” Lampman (that
he had broken away from in 1979 when it was led Homer St. Francis Sr.) and had
created another group that he could be chief of and feeding his ego. The group
(of allegedly 350 persons according to Richard Phillips had created, (after
losing to Homer St. Francis Sr. in 197), had done very little in their own
cause in Phillips estimation. Richard Phillips had indicated that several

Tom or Tomas Obomsawin later went to Swanton, got married there TWICE, and
lived with Homer St. Francis at 44 Liberty St. where he met his second wife
Daisy (nee: Goodman) who was Homer’s Grant Writer. She had been living with
Phoenix Hearn but they got in to physical fight and parted ways. Phenix Hearn
lived over by the Back Barn in a mobile home on cinder blocks. Daisy and Tom
had met at Homer’s, and later lived behind Doris (nee: Cheney) Minckler’s place
near the quarry. Doris and her 2nd spouse Stanley Minckler had a lifetime lease
on living there on quarry property. She wasn’t really allowed to have anyone
living out back in a shoddy mobile home. Thus Tom Obomsawin began using the
Abomsawin from the James Robertson Lease of 1765 and claiming aboriginal title
in 1995, where he and Daisy were living with his sons from a previous marriage
and a new daughter, Autumn Obomsawin. Ultimately, Tom and Daisy vacated Doris’s
backyard, mobile home and all, and headed for her mother’s old place in
Stratford, New Hampshire, where they set up shop corporate wise on <span style="color: blue;">August 22, 1995</span>, shortly after arrival, calling it

Francis Sr.</b> writing his claims that approximately 22-23 years previous
(late 1969-early 1970) <span style="color: #c00000;">[Based on a mere single B/W typical
photograph of a ‘posed family gathering’ in front of a house]</span> that the
Coos descendants, like the rest of their Western Abenaki brothers, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">began to come together as clans and Band in
Semi-organized fashion </b>and sought the recognition they deserved, as well as
to protect their ethnic heritage and culture, especially since the control of,
and by, the Matriarchs was now starting to quickly slip away.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The first person in modern times
to be Semi-recognized as a Chief of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Awakening
Coos Tribal Band</b> was Mr. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c00000;">Elwin</span> “Joe” Pero</b> in Thetford, VT, a WW2
veteran from the large Pero family. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #c00000;">[Howard then goes on to list
varied genealogical surnames of families who had intermarried with one another
(endogamy dynamics) and the thesis by Katherine Botsford of Dartmouth College
(1981) and how those families were related genealogically to himself, either
paternally or maternally.]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">In <span style="color: blue;">either
1979 or 1980</span> some of these families who were descendants of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">old Coos/Cowasuck Tribal Band</b> came
together <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">under Richard “Black Horse”
Phillips</b> who was the next Coos Chief, formerly from Swanton, VT (and later a
Newport, VT. resident)</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: blue; text-indent: 0.5in;">Around
1980</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> I </span><span style="color: #c00000; text-indent: 0.5in;">[Howard] </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">had joined the Coos

my family Clan </span><span style="color: #c00000; text-indent: 0.5in;">[allegedly “Green Turtle”]</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">.
Suddenly “out of the blue” </span><b style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Richard
“Black Horse” Phillips resigned</b><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">. No reason was given. At this point, the
Tribal Council (as it was known at the time) to include </span><b style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Alden Palmer</b><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">-Senior Councilor, </span><b style="text-indent: 0.5in;">elected
me as the Acting Chief</b><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> because of the reasons that they felt I was able to
write clearly, speak to the issues with clarity that the others on the Council
felt inadequate to do, and probably most important to them, the fact that I had
a College education compared to many who had only a 6-8 Grade education, maybe
a 10-11 Grade education if they were lucky. I served in the capacity as Acting
Chief until </span><span style="color: blue; text-indent: 0.5in;">October 1989</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">, at which time </span><b style="text-indent: 0.5in;">I was elected to a 7-year term as the Coos

Marchand as harboring Sherri DeVee and Terry Scotten in MA; but in reality it had

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">According to Paul W. Pouliot, on Dec. 2nd of 1992, a
Council of Elders meeting of the Coos Band was convened at the Red Hawk Lodge.
Chief Rushing Water (Howard F. Knight, Jr.) presided over the council meeting.
Clan councilors (chiefs), matriarchs, and elders representing the Fox, Green
Turtle, Black Turtle, Red Hawk, Bear, Falcon, and Elk clans were present.
Howard reported that he was retiring on December 11, 1992 and was turning the
ultimate leadership over of our band over to Homer W. St. Francis Sr. (Chief of
the St. Francis - Sokoki Band). Howard explained that such a uniting between
the Coos and St. Francis-Sokoki groups would give us increased strength in our
numbers and leadership. Howard also reported the retirement of our Band Tribal
Judge (Emerson B. Garfield) which was made on December 01, 1992.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Howard F. Knight Jr. had reported that an agreement had
been made with Homer St. Francis to accept all Coos Band members, including
adopted members.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Coos Band was to continue with a tribal council form
of leadership. The following leadership had been nominated and elected by
unanimous agreement:</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="tab-stops: 146.4pt;">In this Newsletter by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Paul W. Pouliot</b> of Franklin County, MA,
he stated:</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="tab-stops: 146.4pt;">We have been asserting our
sovereign rights as a Nation in several Federal and state courts. We have been
actively engaged in child welfare cases in CA, TX, and MA. <span style="color: #cc0000;">[Such as the matter with Sherri DeVee and Terri Scotten in 1992]</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="tab-stops: 146.4pt;">In the second newsletter by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Paul W. Pouliot</b> then writes of the
distancing from Arthur J. Marchand on <span style="color: blue;">October 04, 1992</span>
by the “Council of Elders” (i.e. Howard F. Knight Jr.). Marchand and other
supporters of his actions had sent letters of withdrawal from the Howard Knight
Jr. group, returning their membership cards. Prior to this action Marchand had
been in possession of all the tribal records, cards, rolls, and files of the
group’s members, and had maintained his own set of records (allegedly) so he
could eventually gain control of the Coos band. In Nov. 1992 Marchand solicited
others to return their cards back to Howard, and when that failed to happen, he
had created his own incorporated group.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="tab-stops: 146.4pt;">A corporate protest hearing was
held on January 26, 1992 by the MA Secretary of State. The Abenaki Nation was
represented by the Coos Council Chief (Paul W. Pouliot a.k.a. “Spirit Hawk”),
Coos Council Judge (Robert Maynard a.k.a. “Spirit Wind”), and the Abenaki
Ambassador of the Missisquoi-Sokoki (<b>Roger Desharnais</b> a.k.a. “Running Elk”). We
were at the Corporation Hearing to protect the name of the Abenaki Sokoki band
and to establish <b>THAT A CORPORATION COULD NOT BE FORMED to “create” a tribe</b>.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="tab-stops: 146.4pt;"><span style="color: #c00000;">But
that is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EXACTLY</b> what these wannabiiak
groups were DOING in VT/NH/MA etc, a number of 3-4-5 to upwards of 10 people (initially) who
self-identified as “Abenaki”, solicited and attracted other like minded race
shifters who believed they too were “Abenakis” and then created a name for
their “Tribe” and Inc.’d, in order to solicit and obtain state, federal block
grants, and well as from other agency and naïve public sympathizers to their
angst, and cause. And once the group (incorporate) members got too big for
their britches, as clearly documented herein, their group <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">metastasized </b>into other groups, by angst, disagreements,
negativity, ego, power and control issues, or simply wanting their own slice of
the $$pie$$ seeing how Homer got his and kept the rest for himself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>Douglas Buchholzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08673945851395472881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062665372932053864.post-57343581349915260132021-06-13T02:39:00.003-04:002023-03-07T01:49:33.987-05:00CPAIN or Corporate (entities) Posing As Abenaki Indigenous Nations in VT/NH - Part 1<div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">July 19, 1973 <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Franklin County, Vermont newspaper (Page 08) wrote an
article entitled “Abenaqui Indians Settle in Swanton ca. 1650,” wherein this
article it is mentioned specifically the "St. Francis Indians"...
i.e. and so a year later Swanton, VT-based Homer Walter ST. FRANCIS
<span style="color: #cc0000;">("I-must-be-Abenaki” “because my surname is St. Francis") It really was that SIMPLE of an equation f how the race shifting began in Vermont.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">June-July 1974 -<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Yet ‘out-of-the-blue’ this newly formed organization
calling itself the “Union of Vermont-New Hampshire Indians”, which had just
formed in 1974, didn’t see why Hannah Dustin should have been honored for
killing Native Americans. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Notice that the “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Union
of VT-NH Indians, Inc.’d</b>” seemed to mimic the “Union of Aroostook Indians,
Inc.’d” organization in Houlton, Maine, interestingly enough. CETA funding was
coming through the Boston Indian Council, by way of their agent, Ronald Canns,
son Julius Canns.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The newly formed organization wanted the statue removed,
and they wanted the four-acre island returned to Indian control.
Self-Identifying-Indians stated they are “highly disturbed” over the presence
of the monument.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Henry Smith of Concord and Ronald Canns of Suncook, two
members of the “Union of Vermont-New Hampshire Indians”, called on fellow
Indians to call tribal councils to register complaints about the statue, and to
work for restoration of the island to Indians.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Returning to the events happening in New Hampshire in
1974, the Nashua Telegraph newspaper wrote that a census of persons who
self-identified as being of American or Canadian Indian descent was being taken
by the “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Union of Vermont-New Hampshire
Indians of Penacook, N.H.</b>” under the auspices of CETA (Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act).</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Julius Canns'</b> son Ronald/Ronnie Canns had come up to the

believed they were of 'Native persona'; Just like he had down in Concord, NH

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This group was initially led by Wayne J. Hoague, but he
was disgruntled about embezzlement and fraud from the very beginning by Homer
himself and that the group had no monetary accountability for the grant(s)
coming into the group; and was summarily ousted by Homer and his allies, and was
replaced by Homer St. Francis Sr. himself.</p>

Mitchell said.</div><div>Some - including some lawmakers who backed S.117 - believed the original law was meant to give this authority to the VCNAA.</div><div>The current State laws reads in part: "The commission shall have the authority to assist Native American tribal councils, organizations, and individuals to ... permit the creation, display, and sale of Native American arts and crafts and legally label them ... as provided in (federal Native arts labeling law)."</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>February 14, 2008</b></span></div><div>From: Meridith Stanton@ios.doi.gov</div><div>To: Chairman <b>Vincent Illuzzi</b>, Senate Committee on Economic Development, Housing & General Affairs Vermont State House</div><div>115 State Street</div><div>Montpelier, Vermont 05633-5301</div><div>United States Department of the Interior</div><div>INDIAN ARTS AND CRAFTS BOARD WASHINGTON, D.C. 20240</div><div>Dear Chairman Vincent llluzzi:</div><div>In response to the State of Vermont's consideration of potential alternatives related to State Indian tribe recognition issues, the Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB), U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), has been asked to submit a written statement regarding the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (federal Act), Public Law 101-644 (104 Stat. 4663-b4), as amended.</div><div>Specifically, the terms Indian and Indian tribe are defined by Public Law 101-644, which provides:</div><div>"As used in this section:</div><div>(1) The term `Indian' means any individual who is a member of an Indian tribe; or for the purposes of this section is certified as an Indian artisan by an Indian tribe; `Indian' is any individual who is a member of an Indian tribe;</div><div>(3) The term `Indian tribe' means:</div><div>(A) Any Indian tribe, band, nation, Alaska Native village, <b>or other organized group</b> or community which is recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indian because of their status as Indians; or</div><div>(B) <b>Any Indian group that has been formally recognized as an Indian tribe by a State legislature</b> or <b>by a State commission</b> or <b>similar organization legislatively vested</b> with State tribal recognition authority."</div><div>See (25 U.S.C. § 305e (d) (1) and (3); 18 U.S.C. § 1159(c) (1) and (3).}</div><div>In brief, if the producer of an art or craft product meets the above definition of Indian (an enrolled member of a federally or officially State recognized Indian tribe), that individual would be permitted to legally offer for sale, or sell, his or her product as Indian, Native American, or the product of a particular Indian tribe. If the individual does not meet the above definition of Indian, marketing products in such a manner would constitute a violation of the federal Act.</div><div><b>The IACB has participated in discussions regarding the federal Act as it relates to Vermont State law S.117</b>, "An Act Relating to State Recognition for Abenaki People" with representatives from the Vermont State Attorney General's Office, Vermont Governor's Office, and the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs. In these discussions, concerns were raised that Vermont State S.117 may intend to permit all <b>self-identifying individuals </b>who claim to be Abenaki or Native American to sell their art or craft work as Indian made, which is in conflict with the definition of Indian under the federal Act. </div><div>In addition, to meet the definition of Indian under the federal Act, an individual must be a member of a federally or officially State recognized tribe or be <b>certified as an Indian artisan by a</b> federally or <b>officially State recognized tribe</b>. "Recognition" of a group as a tribe for very limited specified purposes of benefiting from the Act falls short of recognition as a sovereign Indian tribe. The proposed amendment to S. 117 answers many of our concerns about the State's recognition process but it remains to be seen whether specific Abenaki "tribes" are recognized consistent with the federal Act.</div><div>The IACB will remain available for discussions regarding the federal Act, and will continue to follow the progress made towards a resolution of current concerns. If you have any questions related to the above information, please contact me at:</div><div>Meridith Stanton@ios.doi.gov, or at (202) 208-3773.</div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><i><b>Meridith Z.

As you will see upon visiting our web site at http://www.iacb.doi.gov/act.html, the Act is essentially a truth-in-marketing law designed to prevent the marketing of art and craft products as "Indian" made when they are not, in fact, made by Indians as defined by the Act.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Under the Act, it is illegal to offer or display for sale, or sell, any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian Tribe. According to the implementing regulations, unqualified use of</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">the terms "Indian," "Native American," or the names of particular Indian Tribes in connection with the sale or display for sale of an Indian art or craft product will be interpreted to mean that the maker is a member of a federally or officially State recognized Indian Tribe, a member of the Tribe named, or is certified by an Indian Tribe as a non-member artisan; 25 C.F.R. §309.3. Therefore, for such work to be sold as Indian, Native American, or as the product of a particular Indian Tribe, it must be produced by an enrolled member of a federally or officially State recognized Tribe, or by an individual who has been formally certified as a non-member Indian artisan by the federally or officially State recognized Tribe of their descent.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">While the IACB has been in communication with the State of Vermont regarding the State recognition of Indian Tribes, and understands that the State of Vermont may be recognizing some groups as Tribes in the near future, you should refrain from selling your work as Indian, Native American, or as the product of a particular Indian Tribe until your group is officially recognized as an Indian Tribe by the State of Vermont or the federal government.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If you have any questions about the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, please call us at (202) 208-3773.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Sincerely,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><b>Ken Van Wey</b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Program Support Specialist</div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: blue;">February 19, 2008<br /></span></b>From: <b>Ken Van Wey</b>
