Paul Wilson Pouliot vs. Lynn Menard-Mathieson and the Grand Council and Elders Council Meeting Issues July 10, 2009:

1st document: Paul Pouliot's letter of intent and agenda for his July 18-19, 2009 Grand Council and Elders Council meeting at his home in Alton, New Hampshire that Paul Pouliot himself calls his "Band Headquarters". (Nothing like keeping everything "close to the chest" in ones own home eh?)

The alleged "Abenaki community" "Language Camp" that was being held in Bradford, New Hampshire was actually held at Sherry Gould's home. This Language Camp was by-invite only. Certainly, any Abenaki descendants and or with their chldren were not made aware of this Language Camp up here in Coos County, New Hampshire. It wasn't in the local Coos County, N.H. Democrat Newspaper.

Yes, let's start with what was going on regarding Lynn Menard-Mathieson "War Chief" or "Sub-Chief" who allegedly was on the "war path" for the previous couple of weeks. Actually, the minute anyone begins to inquire about "Financial Records" re: incoming funding and outgoing funding, all hell breaks loose. The person(s) are labeled "trouble makers" and then a "smear campaign" is begun "to make them look bad" and then the person(s) are ousted from the group. They are no longer part of the social club any more. Lynn Menard-Mathieson sought only for accountability and responsibility. When inquirying and then demanding to obtain and review the financial check book, etc. "hestitation, dare I say panic, and then protest happened by Paul Pouliot and Denise. They refused to allow their own Board of Director to obtain and review the finances of the Incorporation. They kept all these records in their own home. They weren't about to let ANYONE obtain and review any financial incoming or outgoing funding into the Incorporation/Organization. Most certainly NOT Lynn Menard-Mathieson.

Interesting that when the TRUTH is sought, it is labeled by the decievers and liars as "a very destructive behavior". Lynn Menard-Mathieson wasn't attempting to destroy anything, let alone this organization Paul Pouliot & Co. claim is an alleged Cowasuck/Pennacook Abenaki Tribe/Band.

Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise his wife had every intention of doing anything and everything in their abilities to remove or have removed Lynn Menard-Mathieson from the positions, title's, etc. that Paul's group had placed Lynn Menard-Mathieson into. Why?, because the answer is simple. One doesn't not ask questions of the President of the Inc. Organization. It's like the Mafia....a person begins to ask too many questions and they are g-o-n-e, Ex-communicated, dissassociated, removed, and in the process of doing this, the guilty attempt to smear the questioner's character and reputation.

2nd document: Paul Wilson Pouliot's continued "smear campaign" against Lynn Menard-Mathieson, based on conjecture and rumors. So, based on rumors and conjecture he was stating that one can be removed from the membership to the group. With no foundation or truth to the gossip, rumors, and conjecture allegedly on the basis of other so-called members of the group (that may have indeed been "agents" who were allies to Paul & Denise in order to keep anyone from obtaining and reviewing the financial's of this group's Inc.; even if it was someone who was a Board of Director to that Incorporation! Pretty slick I must admit.

This group being led by Paul Wilson Pouliot, seems to me to be becoming a "cult". No one is supposed to ask questions, no one is supposed to doubt, no one is supposed to disagree with the "Chief"/President of the Incorporation.

The "situation" at Castle in the Clouds event, became a matter of "containment" for Paul Pouliot and his wife Denise. They wanted Lynn Menard-Mathieson OUT of the group, and they began spreading malicious hateful gossip and rumors against Lynn Menard-Mathieson AFTER she began inquiry as to the financial's of the group as a Board of Director to the Incorporation. She became a THREAT to Paul Wilson Pouliot & Co. just like the late Jacqueline Emerton had become a THREAT.

Paul W. Pouliot was not being asked to supply a filled out tax form for 2010 five years in advance of its submission.

3rd document: In this page, Paul Pouliot states, "FYI (for your information)-A regular treasurer's report consists of four lines of information: Beginning Balance, Reciepts, Expenses, and Ending Balance. It does not mean that one presents copies of checks, bank statements, charge accounts, etc, as Lynn (Menard) has suggested."

My retrospective thoughts and conclusions on this is, that by denying a Director on the Board of this Incorporation (calling itself Cowass of North America, Inc.) that by the President of this Inc. denying anyone on the Board of Directors, in whole or in part, access and the ability to review of such Banking statements, check reciepts etc., then that means something is possibly being "hidden"  by the person(s) running the Incorporation itself. Indeed an "audit" might be necessary! The whole "situation" that developed between Mr. Paul W. Pouliot and Lynn Menard-Mathieson could have been quickly and easily resolved with some common openness, accountability, and responsibility by the President of this Incorporation Mr. Pouliot to one of his own Board of Directors, that being Lynn Menard-Mathieson.

The minute Paul Pouliot began to hesitate and protest, then began to become protective and refusing to show and provide the documentations as requested to one of his own Board of Directors, I would have also concluded naturally something was not being "kosher" and immediately and effectively resigned from such an organization.

This email from Paul Wilson Pouliot "leader" this alleged Cowasuck/Pennacook Abenaki group, clearly operates this group like an off shore bank account, to my thinking, just based on reading this email communication from Paul Wilson Pouliot. Again, where is the accountability, the responsibility or even the common decency to be open to another Council member of such group?

This group is nothing more than an Incorporation from beginning to end. As such, my own conclusion is, that it is not a legitimate bonefide Abenaki group of people. The next posting will PROVE THIS, because from the very beginning, after gaining the Inc. called the "Abenaki Nation of Vermont" (which had Articles of Association and Incorporation by Arthur "Bill" Seymor, Wayne Hoague, and Richard W. Phillips on August 14, 1979) from Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. in December 1992 and clarified by Howard Knight, Jr.'s "letter" dated January 07, 1993 (posted on this blog), Paul Wilson Pouliot simply let that Inc. "sit", and subsequently created his own Incorporation called "Cowass North America, Inc." on February 26, 1993 in the State of Massachusetts. He then "incorporated" his created Incorporate name in surrounding States.

Yes, this email communication is quite revealing indeed as to the happening's in July 2009 between the then "War Chief"/ "Sub-Chief"/Board of Director for Cowass North American, Inc. and their genealogical researcher.

Paul Wilson Pouliot can "say" that Lynn Menard-Mathieson's genealogy was NOT allegedly accepted/approved by the so-called Grand Council and the Elder Council for membership in the group. Yet, I find that difficult to conclude considering that 1. to be elected to any position in the group, one HAS TO BE A MEMBER, thereby their genealogical would have had to have been approved! The late Homer St. Francis Sr. up in Swanton, Vermont gave out "membership status and cards" to those he liked, favored, could use, and when he didn't like someone, couldn't use them any longer, he "reviewed" these people's genealogical records and applications, then removed those "members" from his group too. So, it seems to me that Homer = Howard = Paul = Brian = Nancy, etc etc etc.

The rotten apples don't fall far from the rotten tree, and the rotten tree doesn't fall far from the rotten roots....

It makes me wonder IF, like Homer = Alan Martell = Chares F. True, Jr., was Howard = Paul, and then from Paul (with the help of Howard) = Brian, and simply Nancy came along for the ride as Associate Chief, became Co-Chief, and then Chief-for-life?!

Like I said before, its like these activities are like a NDN Herpes Virus or STD that somehow spreads out, to various States and geographical locations, and then they all proclaim that they are "The Abenaki Nation of Vermont" "The Abenaki Nation of New Hampshire", " Cowasuck", The Coos", "The Koasek", "The El-Nu", "The Nulhegan", etc etc etc etc. Oh and then there is the "Independent Clans of the Coos, Inc." too.

July 07, 2009 Lynn Menard-Mathieson Email

Lynn Menard-Mathieson of Griswold, Connecticut was on the Board of Directors and was elected as this alleged Cowasuck/Pennacook Abenaki groups so-called "Tribal Protector", "War Chief" and also as their genealogical researcher/ verifier of incoming applicants who wished to joined this groups membership. Obviously, Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise, his new wife, trusted Lynn Menard-Mathieson and KNEW Lynn's ancestry, accepting her application for membership repeatedly throughout the years previous. The minute Lynn Menard-Mathieson began to inquire and then began to demand to obtain and review the financial records of incoming and outgoing monies into the Incorporation, Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise began to conduct a "smear campaign" to distract anyone and everyone from why Lynn Menard-Mathieson was upset. She'd overheard they were going to try and "get rid of her". Obviously someone had something to hide in this situation. It certainly wasn't Lynn Menard-Mathieson doing the hiding either. She was attempting to gain some kind of accountability and responsibility but of course, Paul being the President and his wife Denise being the Treasurer.....well when questions are asked, and the monies that are incoming from unsuspecting people who are seeking credible groups of legitimate Abenaki descendants, is not shown and provided to the groups very own Board of Directors on an Incorporation.....Lynn Menard-Mathieson felt that were there was smoke there was fire, and she resigned from the organization altogether. So did James Lafontaine and his wife.

Need I Say More?

                                                                                                                                                    

In "red" are my added commentary/ questions.

Marie Miteouamigoukoue and the recent saga of the Paul WIlson Pouliot Cowasuck Manipulations:

1st document: November 17, 2007 document in which Lynn Menard-Mathieson of Griswold, Connecticut is made a so-called "Sub Chief" by the so-called Cowasuck Band - Pennacook/Abenaki People "Grand Council & Elders Council Meeting, Cowasuck North America & FFP (Franklin County Food Pantry) Board of Directors Meeting. Lynn Menard-Mathieson was voted in for "War Chief", whose function would be identifying tribal property, and protecting the tribe." Lynn Menard-Mathieson and her husband David Mathieson, had been retrospectively "members" of the group led by Paul Wilson Pouliot, and Paul's then wife Linda (nee: Whites) since before at least the 2002 Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada Pow-wow helf by Yannick Mercier (of which I spoke of on this blog before).

2nd document: Lower portion of 1st document.

3rd document: Lynn Menard-Mathieson's genealogical descent from Marie Mita8ameh8k8e aki. Micominqui born about 1631 married to Pierre Couc.

4th document: Lynn Menard-Mathieson's Enrollment Application dated September 11, 2008 into the alleged Cowasuck Band of the alleged Pennacook/Abenaki People 840 Suncook Valley Road/ P.O. Box 52 in Alton, New Hampshire 03809-0052.

Retrospectively-speaking, Paul Wilson Pouliot was stating that his so-called "Citizens & Members" had to reapply for their so-called "citizenship/ membership" into his group or else he would be removing them from their records. Again, Paul Wilson Pouliot was redesigning the so-called Band Identification Membership Cards. These new cards would have additional security elements that make their Cards unique and more difficult to duplicate. Also in this newsletter by this group in October-November- December Aln8bak News 2008-4, on Page 07, Sharon C. Niemann - Testa wrote an article Voices of Our Native American Past (which Paul Wilson Pouliot and or Denise Pouliot (his new wife) approved and allowed to be published in their Newsletter). This article was directly related to marie Mita8ameg8k8e. Sharon Niemann-Testa stated in her article, quote " Marie is a the matriarch of one of our clans......Marie was born about 1632 in the area between the Ottawa and the St. Maurice Rivers in Quebec." The article is quite informative and detailed. Sources of information were from Norm Leveillee website; Susanne Bovin Sommerville website; Book "Descendants of a Carpenter", by PJ Lareau available at the French Canadian Library, Tolland, Connecticut (2 book set); Family Search.org website of the Church of Latter Day Saints "LDS" (Mormons).

5th document: Lynn Menard-Mathieson's Resignation letter of July 03, 2009 to the Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook/Abenaki People, as their "Business Agent" in the State of Connecticut, as a Board of Directors members for Cowass North America, Inc., and as a member of the so-called "Elders Council". Before July 03, 2009 Lynn Menard-Mathieson, as a Board of Director and as a Business Agent for this group, requested to evaluate and review the financial records of this group, then Paul Wilson Pouliot and his wife Denise began to make "excuses" etc. That's when Lynn Menard-Mathison began demanding to see and review the financial records, etc. She was refused access to and ability to gain review of such financial records by Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise Pouliot.

Retrospectively-speaking, on June 13 -14 a group gathering (Pow-wow) was held by this alleged Cowasuck group, at the Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. Apparently there was a "situation" in which it was alleged that Paul Wilson Pouliot and or his wife Denise were overheard to say, "We need to get rid of Lynn Menard-Mathieson because she is a trouble maker" and "that she is trying to create her own Tribe or group down in Connecticut". Which of course, Lynn Menard-Mathieson was made aware of. James Lafontaine and his wife were also party to this "situation". It was requested by both the Lafontaine's and Mathieson's, that Paul Wilson Pouliot and his wife Denise "attend a meeting" between the parties, in a public venue, to "clear the air", and to discuss just exactly what happened, who said what, and why. Paul Wilson Pouliot and his wife Denise refused to have such a meeting with James Lafontaine nor Lynn Menard-Mathieson, both of which were at the time, active Board of Directors to this groups Incorporation. As a result of the refusal to address this matter by Paul Wilson Pouliot and his wife Denise, both James Lafontaine and his wife & David & Lynn Menard- Mathison resigned from all of their association with Paul Wilson Pouliot and his group. Norm Lavallee also left the Paul Wilson Pouliot group previously for some unknown reason(s). Quite a number (in the hundreds, if not more than that) became members of Paul's group based on being desendants of Marie Mita8ameh8k8e.

6th document: Paul Wilson Pouliot's email response to a person who descends from Marie Mita8ameh8k8e, dated October 20, 2009. I have removed the recipient's name and email address. Obviously "something has changed" because in this communication, Paul W. Pouliot and or Denise his wife stated in this email to this applicant for membership into the group, that "your genealogy is fine and properly detailed, but your Indian line is Marie Miteouamigoukoue which may be Algonquin or Iroquois, but it is not Abenaki or Cowasuck. When did this begin to make a difference? Paul and Denise allowed Lynn Menard-Mathieson to become a member and Board of Director and was elected as a so-called War Chief, and she is a descendant of this same Native woman! Two past genealogists for our Band hmm, that would be Norm Lavallee and Lynn Menard-Mathieson pushed for recognition of this particular line, because it was their own family line. Unfortunately, we and several other genealogists and language experts hmm, that would have to be Sherry Gould of whom Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise are learning brown ash basketry from these days and doing Abenaki language "camps" together have researched this line it appears that the name is not derived from Abenaki and may be Iroquois, Ottawa, or from another group that is west and outside of our ancestral Abenaki homelands.

Our Grand Council is in the process of making an announcement about the on-going Band citizenship/membership process. One policy that will be announced is related to past members that do not comply with our current policies. Oh NOW, because Lynn Menard-Mathieson and James Lafontaine have RESIGNED from Paul Wilson Pouliot's group, this group via Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise are going to attempt to say that these two Board of Directors resigned/ left the group because they didn't have adequate genealogical connection(s) to the Abenaki in the ancestral Abenaki homelands?! No, it was clearly because Mr. Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise Pouliot would NOT show and provide the actual financial records of where money was coming from, and how it was being spent by the group itself, and or by Paul Wilson Pouliot and his wife Denise, is the REAL REASON why both Board of Directors resigned from the said group led by Paul W. Pouliot as of July 03, 2009.

Members prior to 2005 that were granted citizenship by previous Band genealogists will be "grandfathered" but their status will be changed from "citizen" to "member" if they do not meet our current membership requirements (membership requirements change every so often, that way there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY by the so called Leaders/President/Treasurer/Chief and his wife, to even their own Board of Directors!) . Non-complying new applicants after 2005 will not be given any status in our Band.

At this time you and your extended family will not be given status in our Band unless you can identify a documented Abenaki family line that was from of our ancestral community. (Can Paul Wilson Pouliot and his wife Denise even provide ANY physical evidence as to themselves being descendants of the Abenaki in the ancestral Abenaki homelands?!, I have the genealogies and I DO NOT FIND ANY ABENAKI CONNECTIONS IN PAUL WILSON POULIOT'S ANCESTRY; neither can other professional genealogical researchers) Thank you for your inquiry and sorry that we cannot help you. Grand Council." hmm, I do not see the signature's of any other member of this so-called Grand Council of this group. Do the people on this alleged Grand Council even know this email was sent to this applicant?

INTERESTING COMMUNICATION. It was A.O.K. for Lynn Menard-Mathieson to have become a "member" of this so-called Cowasuck Group, and even be "elected" as "War Chief" etc as previously mentioned AND she is a descendant of Marie Mita8ameh8k8e! It's ok one minute~when Lynn Menard-Mathieson wasn't demanding to review the Financial Records, as a Board of Director to their Incorporation~but once she became vocal and demanding, then a "smear campaign" was created to oust her from the so-called group by Paul Wilson Pouliot, who is the President of the Incorporation(s) and his wife Denise Pouliot is the Treasurer! Very interesting. So when this woman, who obvioiusly has paid for her Membership Card as did a number of un-named relatives to her do the same, knowing that Lynn Menard-Mathieson and her husband David were "members" and that Lynn was on the Board of Directors, NOW as of October 20, 2009 "Marie Mita8ameh8ke" is no longer identified as "good enough" of an ancestral connection for a descendant to be a member or citizen of this Paul Wilson Pouliot group, when in FACTUAL Documentation this very lineage was ACCEPTED by this group/Paul Wilson Pouliot and Denise Pouliot quite readily, before Lynn Menard-Mathieson became vocal about her demand to see and review the financial records of this group! Go figure.

Again, these alleged Abenaki "groups" that have Incorporated within Vermont and or the surrounding States, are nothing more than "social clubs". Obviously, Mr. Paul Wilson Pouliot identified his ancestry as allegedly being "Laurentian Iroquois" in July 1992 and was given by Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. in December of 1992 and documented on January 07, 1993, the Incorporation that was called "Abenaki Nation of Vermont, Inc. that was created by Articles of Association on August 14, 1979 by alleged "Chief" Arthur "Bill" Seymour of the alleged Missisquoi Band, "Chief" Wayne Hoague of the alleged Green Mountain Band, and "Chief" Richard "Blackhorse" W. Phillips of the alleged Eastern Woodlands Band. Articles of Association were signed by the three "Chiefs" for the formation of the Abenaki Nation of Vermont, and they were the Incorporators the time of August 14, 1979. All Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. did was, instead of giving the Incorporation "Abenaki Nation of Vermont, Inc." over to the late Homer St. Francis, Sr., Howard just handed it over to Paul Wilson Pouliot who then created Cowass North America, Inc. and the Franklin Food Pantry, Inc. There was good $$$$-m-o-n-e-y-$$$$ in playing and insinuating that one was Abenaki/Cowasuck/Pennacook, not only in Franklin, MA but also in Alton, New Hampshire!

January 07, 1993 Letter from Howard F. Knight Jr. to Paul Wilson Pouliot:

This document clearly and obviously is in Howard Franklin Knight, Jr.'s handwriting. This letter was from the Incorporated Northeast Woodlands - Coos Band - Pisowakamigw Wobanakiak, Western Abenaki Alliance - Abenaki Republic (The People of The Dawn), The Algonquin Confederation of Indigenous People's, Office of the CHIEF - RFD #2 530-A, Newport Vermont 05855 (802) 234-5306 (Unlisted)
Dated 07 January 1993
Chief Paul Pouliot, and To Whom it Concerns,
Coos Council, Abenaki Republic
Red Hawk Lodge
160 Daily Drive
Franklin, Mass.

Dear Chief Pouliot, and To Whom it Concerns;
This letter is issued to allay any concerns that they may have in regards to the leadership of the Coos Peoples during this turbulent period due to the recent meeting in Swanton.
I. Chief Howard F. Knight Jr. (Chief Rushing Water) do hereby declare, in short and sweet terms, that I support Chief Paul W. Pouliot (Chief Spirit Hawk) in whatever decisionis he may make as the new Chief of the Coos, which took effect upon the day of the meeting in Swanton, VT. I am officially retired as Chief, having been Chief for 10 years. It was, and it is, time for new leadership, and it is even clearer now that Chief Spirit Hawk is the leader that the Coos Peoples need at this juncture in its history.
I am still Chief of the Turtle Clans of the Coos People, but I am retired as the Coos Tribal Band Chief. I will be available to Chief Spirit Hawk for advice, if he asks, or whatever else, otherwise I will not speak. I ask all to support the new Coos Chief in all he does.

Respectfully submitted with Warmest Regards to all of the Coos Peoples.
Ret'd Chief Howard F. Knight, Jr. (Chief A.K.A. Rushing Water)
c.c. Tribal Judge Spirit Wind (Robert H. Maynard)
Tribal Genealogist Looking Glass (Raymond Lussier)
Tribal Mother Firewoman (Jacqueline Emerton)
Matriarch: Fox Clan

Retired Chief Howard F. Knight, Jr.
Northeast Woodlands - Coos Tribe
Abenaki Republic - Algonquin Confederation
R.F.D. #2, Box 530 - A Alderbrook Road
Newport, Vermont 05855

So, what was Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. up to in creating this document? It appears that his intention (based on subsequent words and actions by him after writing this document) that he was merely ONLY TEMPORARILY handing Paul Wilson Pouliot "the reins" or "Chief" title UNITL "the heat left the kitchen". Whereupon Howard Knight, Jr. wanted the alleged Chieftonship returned back to him, but then Paul Pouliot got used to the title, and wouldn't give it back, which pissed off Howard F. Knight, Jr., and so in May of 1994 and later in July 1994 Howard F. Knight with the help of HOmer St. Francis, Sr., began to create a "smear campaign" against Paul W. Pouliot.

Regardless, Paul Wilson Pouliot had joined Howard Knight, Jr.'s group July 08, 1992 under the pretense that he was genealogically a descendant of the "Laurentian Iroquois" and claiming that he was ofthe Hawk Clan. This Northeast Woodlands-Coos Band of the Abenaki Republic-Algonquin Confederation Membership Application was approved on July 15th, 1992 by Tribal Judge/Rep Robert Maynard and also Tribal Chief Howard F. Knight (Rushing Water). Perhaps Howard F. Knight, Jr. did not sign this membership application of Paul Wilson Pouliot's YET REGARDLESS it is a DOCUMENTARILY KNOWN FACT that Michael Delaney, acting as alleged "Tribal Judge" for alleged "Chief" Homer St. Francis, Sr. did in fact, sign Application's and Membership Cards for Homer St. Francis, Sr.

February-March 1993 Volume 93 Issue 2 Alnobadwa National News Newsletter:

1st document: Again, in this so-called "newsletter" on January 30, 1993 an un-named so-called "Council of Elders" of the alleged Coos (Cowasuck) Band was held. Council Chief Paul Wilson Pouliot a.k.a. Spirit Hawk presided over the council meeting.

A Corporation protest hearing was held on January 26, 1993 by the Massachusetts Secretary of State. The alleged Abenaki Nation was represented by the alleged Coos Council Chief Paul Pouliot a.k.a. Spirit Hawk, alleged Coos Tribal Judge Robert Maynard a.k.a. Spirit Wind, and the alleged "Abenaki Ambassador" of the alleged Missisquoi-Sokoki who was Roger Desharnais a.k.a. Running Elk. They were there to alleged protect the tribal name of the Abenaki Sokoki band and to establish that a corporation could not alleged be formed to "create" a tribe. Though all of these alleged Abenaki Groups in Vermont and New Hampshire did it anyway. Treaty documents between the Abenaki Nation and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from the 1790's were shown to be signed by the Coos (Cowasuck), Missisquoi, and Sokoki bands. Was any of those in attendence to this Corporation Protest Hearing genealogically descendants of those 1790's Treaty document signers?! I very well doubt it.

March 10, 1993 Decision Re: Mr. Lyn C. Sherman Et Al vs. The Centraleastern Woodland Sokoki Band (Inter-Tribal) Corporation:

Just in case readers of this blog wonder WHY it is that I have used the word descriptions "deceit, lies, manipulation etc., as one can obviously see and review for

themselves, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Office of the Secretary of State,

sent this decision of March 10, 1993 to not only Mr. Arthur Marchand of 126 Sterling Street in Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, but also to a list of the "complainants".

Mr. Lyn C. Sherman

Howard F. Knight, Jr. (husband of Minnie nee: Davidson, and grandfather to Matthew R. Knight whom he adopted)

Robert Maynard

Jennifer Freerksen

Lori Jefferson

Minnie Knight (wife of Howard F. Knight Jr.)

Matthew R. Knight (grandson to Howard & Minnie Knight, who adopted him). Matthew R. Knight was born in 1990. Therefore at the time of this decision he would have been merely (3) three years old!

Roger Deshanais

Paul Pouliot

Why is it that Matthew R. Knight is listed on this document by the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts UNLESS Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. himself insinuated that his adopted grandson was of legal (over 18 years) age? I doubt very very much that a young male child of the age 3 approximately such as Matthew R. Knight was, at the time of this Corporation Protest Hearing of January 26, 1993 was held, was even aware of what the Hearing was about, let alone protest Arthur Marchand's created "incorporation" of December 16, 1992.

Again these "groups" used "historical treaty records" in which to convince the Hearing Officer, that they were genuine and legitimate descendants of the Sokoki/Missisquoi/Coos/Cowasuck Abenaki People. But no one bothered to review these complainants genealogical historical records to establish that they were indeed from and of ANY Abenaki ancestor(s).

January February 1993 Vol. 93 Issue 1 Alnobaodwa National Newsletter regarding Paul Wilson Pouliot of Franklin, MA

 

 

 

1st document: Paul Wilson Pouliot, wearing either a Seagull or Blue Huron feather'd Kahsto:'wah styled headdress. Paul Wilson Pouliot is the son of Leopold (Leo) Paul Pouliot and his wife Mildred Elizabeth Wilson. Mildred's parents (both of them) were born in Ireland. Leopold (Leo) Pouliot's parents were Joseph Napoleon Pouliot (born 26 Feb 1895 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada) and his wife was Rose Aimee (Bourke) Bourque whom Joseph Napolean married on September 05, 1916 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. She was born February 26, 1894 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Both Joseph Napolean Pouliot and Rose Bourque died in Shrewsbury, Worcester County, Massachusetts.

There is NO GENEALOGICAL EVIDENCE OR INDICATION that Paul Wilson Pouliot NOR his ancestors were Abenaki or even Native People's. I have mapped out Mr. Paul Wilson Pouliot's ancestry, as have several other professional genealogists. IF there are such Native Ancestors that do exist in Paul Wilson Pouliot's ancestry, please communicate with me directly. I have NOT found them. I've even searched under the bed, in the closet, under the couch, and ever under the kitchen sink! IF I am incorrect in my research, then correct my conclusions with supporting documentary evidence.

As one can read from the 2nd document (1st Page of the "Alnobadwa National News Newsletter" ) this alleged Coos Band of allegedly the Abenaki Nation-Office of The Tribal Council Red Hawk Lodge of Franklin, Massachusetts, was the first newspaper of the alleged Coos Band of the Abenaki Nation. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS POST. On October 2nd, 1992, the alleged and un-named "Council of Elders" took action to dissociate (remove) the 2nd Chief (Co-Chief or Sub-Chief?) Chief Arthur Marchand a.k.a. Wise Hawk. Allegedly they had a "Tribal Judicial Hearing". Apparently, Arthur Marchand and his "followers"/"supporters" sent letters stating their withdrawal from the alleged Band, and they returned their so-called "Tribal Cards". Arthur Marchand, prior to this removal action by this group, was in possession of all the "Tribal Records, Cards, Rolls/Membership lists, and Files of our members. Efforts were made to take back all of these documents. Allegedly, Arthur Marchand was keeping a set of his own set of documents, so that he could eventually gain control of the alleged Coos band. In November 1992, Arthur Marchand, according to this Newsletter/Newspaper, in retaliation to his removal, began to disrupt the Band by his attempts to convince "tribal members" to return their membership cards. This action failed and subsequently Marchand proceeded to organize his own "band". December 1992, on the 2nd of that month, a (again) un-named number of persons so-called "Council of Elders" meeting of the alleged Coos Band was convened at the Red Hawk Lodge. Apparently this so-called "Red Hawk Lodge" was Paul Wilson Pouliot's home in Franklin, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. Chief Rushing Water a.k.a. Howard Franklin Knight Jr. presided over the alleged Council Meeting. Clan Councilors a.k.a. "Chiefs", Matriarchs, and Elders representing the Fox (Jacqueline Emerton), Green Turtle, Black Turtle, Red Hawk, Bear, Falcon, and Elk Clans were present. (Can anyone say "Zoo", "Wild Kingdom", and "Don't Feed the Animals"? Sounds to me like a freaking Circus)

The Chief (Howard Franklin Knight Jr.) reported that he was retiring on December 11, 1992 and was turning over the ultimate leadership of the alleged Coos Band to Homer St. Francis Sr. (alleged Chief of the alleged Missisquoi-Sokoki Abenaki Band). He explained that this action was necessary to "protect the Nation from negative outside forces and individuals (Arthur Marchand, etc?) that were placing the Band in danger and were threatening the well being of all Abenaki People's. This combining of alleged Abenaki bands would give them allegedly increased strength in their numbers and leadership. The "Chief" also reported the retirement of their Band "Tribal Judge" Emerson Garfield, whoch was made on December 01, 1992 and a vote was made to accept the retirement and it was unanimous (accepted).

Page 2 of January 1993 Newsletter/Newspaper: Coos Council Meeting continued. The Chief reported that an agreement was made with Homer St. Francis Sr. to accept all Coos members, including adopted members. All Band membership records were to be forwarded to Michael Delaney (who was so-called "Tribal Judge of the Missisquoi-Sokoki Band) as soon as was practical. Within this alleged agreement, the Coos Band was to establish a Coos Council and a Non-Profit Incorporation, similar to the ASHAI (Abenaki Self-Help Association, Inc.) The Coos Band was to continue with a "Tribal Council" form of leadership. The following leadership was nominated and elected by unanimous agreement:

Paul Wilson Pouliot a.k.a. Spirit Hawk (Chief)

Philip L. Martin a.k.a. Gray Fox (Sub-Chief)

Linda A. (Andrea) (nee: Whites) Pouliot a.k.a. Blue Huron (Secretary)

Kevin Keene a.k.a Summer Fox (Treasurer)

Robert H. Maynard a.k.a. Spirit Wind (Judge)

Howard F. (Franklin) Knight, Jr. a.k.a. Rushing Water (Council Advisor)

Raymond Lussier a.k.a. Looking Glass (Advisor/ Genealogist)

All Other Clan (Chiefs) Councilors and Matriarchs were Councilors

(such as Jacqueline Emerton).

Based on commnications from Homer St. Francis and Michael Delaney, they were to receive representation on the combined greater Abenaki Nation Council, in the following manner:

Chief of the Coos Council was to be Paul Wilson Pouliot, Representative for the Coos Band Council.

Tribal Advisor was to be Howard Franklin Knight, Jr.

Associate Tribal Judge was to be Robert Maynard

Tribal Genealogist was to be Raymond Lussier

Canadian Representative was to be Roland Demers.

Pouliot, Lussier, and Maynard were requested to develop the legal documents necessary for the proposed Coos Council non-profit organization.

This Newspaper Newsletter indicates that Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. stepped down from his position and gave that position to Paul Wilson Pouliot in December 1992. On January 04, 1993 Howard Knight Jr., Robert Maynard and Paul Pouliot met with Homer St. Francis Sr. and Michael Delaney in the Missisquoi-Sokoki Headquarters in Swanton, Vermont (the old Swanton Train Station). Apparently, this "meeting" wherein Howard F. Knight and Paul Pouliot were to "hand over the records of their group" didn't go "as planned" and the group was handed back their papers, by the other group led by Homer St. Francis Sr. Then Howard Franklin Knight Jr. held a so-called "Coos Council and Judicial Inquiry Hearing Meeting on January 30, 1993.

Page 04: Again, it is indicated that Howard Franklin Knight Jr. had indeed "retired" and obviously reading and reviewing this documentation/newsletter from January-February 1993, it seems to indicate that this group's new "Council Chief" was Paul Wilson Pouliot.

Paul Wilson Pouliot stated in this newsletter that, "Abenaki People did not exist on the basis of a written White Man's contract." And yet, they went running to the Government of the "White Man" for their 501(c)3 Incorporation Papers" in multiple States here in here in the Northeast?! Do the math.........

Some people will say," that I, Douglas Lloyd Buchholz, work for, or am a member of Paul Wilson Pouliot's "group". Stupidly, these persons assume this in their ignorance and or arrogance. Obviously, from this so-called Newsletter of this group, Paul Wilson Pouliot was created by Howard Franklin Knight Jr. in December 1992, a mere 5 months after Paul Pouliot himself filed for membership into this group claiming he was "Laurentian Iroquois". That is NOT Abenaki. That is NOT Coos. Paul Pouliot was created by Howard F. Knight Jr just like Howard Knight Jr. created Ralph Skinner Swett in August 1994, and from that Clan of the Hawk, Inc., then was created the Nulhegan-Coosuk group and Luke Willard in 2004, and also just like Howard F. Knight Jr. created Brian Chenevert, and Nancy Millette (now Doucet) via this cooked-up and created group calling itself Koasek in 2005. All one has to ask is if I, Douglas Lloyd Buchholz, have concerns and issues with these OTHER "groups of alleged Abenakis led by April Merrill, and Howard F. Knight Jr., and Brian Chenevert, etc today in Vermont, and also the Abenaki Nation of N.H. led by Charles F. True Jr. and Rhonda Besaw-True (Homer St. Francis Sr. created Alan Martell who created this Abenaki Nation of N.H.), what makes Paul Pouliot's "group of alleged Cowasuck Abenakis" any less of a concern and issue? Why would I be working for that group or them? Why would I attempt to gain membership or alliance with that group or them? To think that I would is totally freaking absurd and paranoid of anyone to conclude! Then again, no one said any one in these "groups" either in Vermont or New Hampshire has been forthcoming with the TRUTH or their genealogical documentary foundations and or historical social connectedness.

I think the WHOLE bunch of these alleged Abenaki "groups" are sleezy, rotten, sneaky, deceitful, disgusting self-created, self-promoted "Incorporate entities" that very likely have no foundation and/or no connection to the Abenaki People whatsoever that existed/lived in Vermont and/or New Hampshire! Until Documentarily and genealogically proven otherwise.

There's a lot more documentation to be shown and provided about all of these alleged so-called "Missisquoi and or Cowasuck/Koasek" "groups" and their so-called "Chief's" and "members".

The Vermont and New Hampshire Public WILL KNOW once and for all finally, EXACTLY what has been going on in so-called "Abenaki Country" based on the FACTUAL HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION.

November 19, 2008 Email Communication between Karen Mica and Howard F. Knight Jr. and Daniel B. Osgood

                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Howard F. Knight Jr. and Karen Mica (Majka) Communications of Nov. 2008 and January 2009:

1st document: Here we see that Howard Franklin Knight Jr. has begun to plot His next re-creation/reinvention regarding the alleged Independent Clans of the Coos United, Inc. which Howard Knight Jr. himself alleges and claims that such was an idea of Reginald A. Pero (Elwin Merle Pero's brother; uncle to Nathan Elwin Pero) in the early 1990's. Yet Elwin "Joe" (as they refer to him as) Merle Pero nor his brother Reginald A. Pero are alive today to verify or validate that this was "their idea". Nathan Elwin Pero also "can say that his Uncle was behind all this I.C.C.U. business"; but where is the validation that Nathan Elwin Pero's father and or Uncle Reginald A. Pero ever even knew of these "idea's? Perhaps it all a matter of some cooked up idea's in Howard Knight, Jr.'s brain upstairs, and Nathan E. Pero is "just backing up the cooked up b.s. coming from Howard Knight Jr."? I find it interesting that such activities by these people, primarily Howard Knight Jr. and then "backed" by Daniel B. Osgood Sr., Karen Majka (Mica), this Floyd Family, and Norman L. Chenevert & his son Brian Chenevert, etc. ONLY FOR THEIR EYES/INFORMATION? What the heck is that all about? Are these people a Cult "hiding" some secrets? I didn't know Abenaki People operated in this manner.

Must be they were running scared from this so-called "Wonder Woman" a.k.a. Nancy Lee Millette-Doucet! Everything is on the down low (hush hush) just like on Olidahozi which was created, moderated and controlled by Jeanne Lincoln-Kent eh!
Oh and it is interesting that Howard Knight Jr. sent out this email to these people, thinking no one would reveal it to the PUBLIC.
2nd document: Highlighted in "red" Howard Franklin Knight Jr. states, "this core group of the Coos Clans idea originated back in the early 1990's with the then Nolka Clan Chief (allegedly) of the Coos of Vermont and New Hampshire, the late Reggie (Reginald A. Pero), Nathan Elwin Pero's uncle, when a certain idiot in Massachusetts tried to take over the Coos Tribe by fraud and deceit in late 1992."

Actually, I doubt very much that there is ANY documentary evidence whatsoever to prove or disprove Howard Franklin Knight Jr.'s remarks in this email he sent to these people regarding this alleged idea supposedly created by Reginald A. Pero. Reginald Pero died on May 03, 1993 in Thetford Center, Orange County, Vermont. Again, perhaps the Pero family desendants can and will provide the factual documentary evidence as to these claims by Howard Franklin Knight Jr. concerning these alleged idea's of their late family member Reginald A. Pero to confirm what Howard Knight Jr. has alleged these ideas of the creation of the Independent Clans of the Coos United, Inc. came from?
The so-called "idiot from Massachusetts" who allegedly tried to take over the Coos Tribe in late 1992 that Howard Franklin Knight Jr. speaks of, was none other than Arthur Marchand of 126 Sterling Street in Worcester, Massachusetts 01610. I'll show that documentation of December-January-and March 10, 1993 on this blog in the near future. Apparently, Howard Franklin Knight Jr. has repeatedly tried to say that he NEVER resigned, NEVER ever stepped down or "retired", wherein in Paul Wilson Pouliot was alleged "elected" into this group as alleged "Chief of the Cowasuck Abenaki" in December 1992 or January 1993 that Howard F. Knight Jr. created. Obviously, ONLY by looking at the ACTUAL documents can one differentiate who is distorting/lieing and who is telling the truth. Perhaps Paul Pouliot and Howard F. Knight Jr. were BOTH lieing? I am not sure, but I will put the documents on the blog and the readers can decide for themselves if I am correct in my conclusions.
At the tail end of this email from Howard F. Knight Jr., "the negative element" he speaks of within this email, was none other than "Nancy Millette" (who now is married to Mark Doucet) who was at the time, in the process of being thrown out of the "Garden of Koasek" as I call it. In reality, Nancy Millette attempted to retain her alleged "power and control" "title and status" within this group; and then Howard F. Knight Jr. "who alleged was retired" (so many times even I have lost count) "couldn't let go" of his alleged "power and control". They both were "two bears in the same berry bush" and neither of them wanted to leave. So to try and out do the other, Knight then created this I.C.C.U., Inc. group b.s. with the likes of Karen Mica (actually thats Majka of MA), and Brian Chenevert & Brian's father Norman, and Daniel Osgood Sr., etc. All of 'em claiming to represent "Clans" that were made up "titles". They learned well from the Freemason's and the Red Man's Order Fraternity, to my thinking.

Karen Bordreau-Majka (Mica) Lamoine Posting of March 11-25-27, 2008 Etc:

1st document: Raymond LeMay of Watervliet, New York posted in on a Metis Yahoo Group stating that he is a 9th Great Grandson of Jean Nicolet and Jean's wife Sauvagesse Nippising and an 11th Great Grandson of Martin Prevost and Marie Oliver Manitouabeouish of the Abenakis. He sought to be involved in New York State in METIS activities and endeavors. Also he was interested in information on joining the Metis Nation in New England and active bands and or members in Upstate New York. Raymond LeMay is or was "Commander of the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War in Albany, N.Y.

Raymond Lemay states that (on this "Metis Yahoo Group") that he is an allegedly 9th generation descendant of Roch Manintoubeouich/ Manitouabeouichit and Roch's wife Outchibabhanoukoneau/ Outchibahabanoukouehou, both of whom were born ca. 1600 in the vicinity of Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada. Raymond LeMay III is also allegedly an 11th generation descendant of Jean "Sieur de Belleborne" Nicolas Nicolet born 1598 Cherbourg, Normandie, France ~ Jean's wife Jeanne Gisis Bahmahmaadjimiwin born ca. 1602 at Lac Nipissing, Quebec, Canada.

2nd document: On Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at 9:18 a.m. Diane Williams emailed Karen Mica (actually that's Karen nee: Bordreau - Majka - Lamoine) stating that she too, was descendant of Raymond William LeMay's same Native Huron ancestors. Then on that same day at 9:32 a.m. Kenneth Nadreau emailed Raymond William LeMay III, stated "You are more than welcome to send in an application to the Metis Nation in New England......."

At 5:55 p.m. on that same day of Tuesday May 11, 2004 Karen Mica (houseofmica@....) responds to Diane Williams inquiry, stating that all Diane had to do was send in her application for full tribal membership. P.S. It seem that this line (lineage) is only beginning to discover it's ancestry after three generations of (hiding) here in the States. We have brought over thirty relations into the band in the past few years. Lol, if this keeps up we may want to consider starting our own band just for this line (lineage)!

3rd document: Karen Majka/Mica-Lamoine stated (on March 27, 2005 at 12:57 a.m.) that she was a foster parent. Karen Mica/Majka-Lamoine inquires to get some Abenaki agency addresses or other information that she could work with. This was in reponse to the March 25, 2005 7:07 a.m. email from Raymond William LeMay III regarding the alleged Abenaki of Swanton, Vermont article about the ommission of "Abenaki" in the Cultural compentency program to train foster caregivers. The original contract called for working with Abenaki organizations.

Karen Mica/Majka-Lamoine and her sister Shelly Bordreau are members of the "Koasek Traditional Band of the Abenaki Nation" now led by so-called "Chief" Brian Chenevert and "Sub-Chief" Paul Gwilawato Bunnell. Karen was working with Nancy Millette - Lyons - Doucet as the so-called Koasek Tribal Genealogist. Raymond William LeMay a.k.a. "Big Bear" of Watervliet, N.Y. was their Koasek "Public-Relations Officer" and "Webmaster". Karen (nee: Bordreau) Mica (Majka) - Lamoine lived or lives in West Warren, Massachusetts. Another so-called genealogist for these alleged Koasek group, by the name of Pam Brostean a.k.a. "Windhorse Woman" was/is of Danbridge, Tennessee.

But hey, one can start up a new alleged Abenaki Tribe/Band/Clan, whip up some bunch of people, who are factually and documentarily just descendants of the 1600's Huron's and Western Algonquins etc., and then they can come to Vermont and or New Hampshire and claim to be Abenaki. That's what I call GENOCIDE against the REAL Abenaki People's not only who have already become deceased, but those in the present-tense, and those as yet unborn. Because these contemporary alleged Abenaki so-called groups and their "Chiefs" and their "followers" REFUSE to show the evidence, genealogically and through their historical social evidence of their past ancestors as being from the Abenaki People. If I am wrong in my conclusions, then SHOW and PROVIDE the documentary evidence.

Jeanne Kent's Letter to Howard F. Knight Jr. etc:

1st document:
Saturday, April 19, 2008, 1:07 AM--- In Olidahozi@yahoogroups.com, Jeanne Lincoln-Kent wrote:

Kwai, James (Akerman, son-in-law to Paul Wilson Pouliot?)

We are a little ahead of ourselves because of Howard's letter. I would rather wait until we see if we can get the amendment passed before doing any further negative campaigns. I am moderating one person (Jeannette) to make certain those letters don't hit the fan. I know how much we all would like to settle matters with Paul, but I do think the timing is poor. It just might make the senators run the other way again and let the amendment drop. It has already missed the cross over and it may just wind up sitting there and being dropped, so I hope you understand that we are at a delicate stage of thisthing. It should all come to a decision one way or the other within a fewweeks. I think we can wait until then. Jeanne (Kent)

--- End forwarded message ---

Jeannette is my sister, who resides in Kelso, Washington State.

So here we have the 1st document of this blog post, showing and providing the evidence clearly and convincingly, that Jeanne Lincoln-Kent herself is muck racking creating, causing and perpetuating negative campaigns against that would speak vocally about what was going on in the Abenak Recognition issues. Especially IF it was about Paul Wilson Pouliot whom she has had a bone to pick ever since she left that alleged Abenaki group in 2002.

And, WHY was Jeanne Lincoln Kent stating that the documents were copy & paste and stated on her Morningstar Studio blog, that the "documents" weren't legitimate as "evidence", and yet, here she is stating "I'm moderating one member right now (my sister Jeannette) so that those letter don't hit the fan."

Seems to me based on this email to James (Akerman?), to me like she damned well knew these documents were very much genuine and legitimate. In the Legislature's hands these documents would have created a heck of a backlash against their petitioning the Legislature for State Abenaki Recognition. Clearly and obviously she censored my sister from Olidahozi during that timeframe and even removed my sister Jeannette from being on Olidahozi Yahoo Group that Jeanne Kent moderates and censors, so that ANYTHING documentarily truthful or any discussion about Abenaki Recognition that might be construed as questioning the merits of these alleged Abenaki groups from gaining State Recognition, she was filtering off of HER Yahoo Group called Olidahozi. So was "Abenaki News Issues" Yahoo Group as well.
2nd document: May 10, 2008 Email Communication between "Ret'd Chief Howard F. Knight, Jr." to "Jeanne Kent". It doesn't look like Howard Knight Jr. was retired to me!

I would love to see the verified PROOF, EVIDENCE of an ANCESTRAL documentary level on Howard F. Knight Jr.'s ancestors being Abenaki. Period. Let alone, from allegedly the 1740's at the Lower Coos and to Missisquoi in the 1770's in the Dunham, Quebec, Canada and Swanton, Vermont area's in the 1770's as well. I would bet anyone dollars to donuts that man is not telling the truth, and making up "stories" just like Nancy Millette has done!
