Howard F. Knight Jr. Land Dispute Case of Sept. 2001 to June 2005.



This is an interesting article which I found on google.com sometime ago regarding Anthony Tanguay vs. Howard Knight Jr. and his 2nd wife Ann Cojubar Coblai (Howard Knight's Russian wife) and all persons in possession of 1608 Alderbrook Road, Coventry, Vermont.
Seems Mr. Howard F. Knight Jr. attempted to say he had not received notice that the land/property was being sold for lack of taxes being paid on it, when in fact he had signed a Return Receipt himself, making it definitve that indeed he had recieved and acknowledged the fact, that the property was being sold.
To my thinking, this proves he was lying right to the Judge of Orleans County, Vermont. Makes me wonder what else he's been lying about, in the name of the Abenaki ancestors?!!!! Amazing he didn't try to claim "that it was ceremonial Abenaki Land" that belonged to the Abenaki People, like the late "Chief" Homer St. Francis Sr. did up there in Berkshire, Vermont over that application for Food Stamps eh! (I posted that "business" earlier on this blogspot.com site.

A Simple and Plain Address to the Commentary on the "other" Blog:










I'll let some of MY ancestor's documentary evidence speak for itself.
Secondly, if indeed I were a "kitchen table" (computer) genealogical researcher, then the question begs to be asked as to why am I so buried in genealogical evidence/paperwork in this apartment, when I have never owned a printer?!
Thirdly, if anyone out there in the Public can't tell when the truth is being told to him or her, and or when they are being lied to, or that the truth is being "added to"/twisted then perhaps they are liars themselves and can't tell the difference, in the first place! But I betcha dollars to donuts, the PUBLIC can tell the difference between FACTUAL RECORDS and lies the like that have been put on this "other" blog about my person and ancestors by someone who obviously doesn't have the integrity or the honesty to show their REAL HONEST idenitifying birth-given name!
As for being "a real genealogist".....apparently y'all haven't figured out that a "Certified" genealogist is simply someone who chooses to get a Certificate to hang on the wall, by going through the "incorporated" Training of some Genealogical Society/Organization, such as the Mormon Church out in Salt Lake City, Utah. That person who chooses this route, takes a so-called "moral oath" to "protect" and withhold certain genealogical information" from the Public, etc. I choose not to go that route simply because it goes against my integrity of having to make "an oath" to anyone, or anything. "Protecting" one's genealogical work, now that is a hoot. If I "protected" or kept in secret files, my research findings/documents, then I would never have found out anything more on my ancestors or who they allied with, as quickly as I did over the years previous, and on various families!!!! Genealogical Research is meant to be SHARED, not "protected" or hid away in some vault, like what the so-called genealogical/ethonological historian John Moody does. Who knows what he has, if at all much of anything. There is MUCH I have not put on the Internet nor will I, but rest be assured I have shared it with others, to get such documentations to where they needed to go, and be used/shared with others, so lies can be discerned from truths!
Concerning "Morningstar" or as she is called, that being Jeanne Lincoln - Kent, of Winsted, Connecticut....well she obviously has never followed her own advise, (repeatedly) but boy, does she like to give it. Her words mean nothing to me! I've told her before, "Medicine Wheels" are NOT part of Wabanaki Culture nor is it of OUR heritage. She chooses to have a thing as a Medicine Wheel made of rocks etc., out in her dooryard, and work with such ideas and or tools, and that is her choice to make; but it is NOT ABENAKI in origin. It is NOT from her alleged Abenaki ancestors either! Indeed I have been to several Native People's Communities whose community members are legitimate and honestly historical, cohesive, and continous; UNLIKE those "incorporations" that have been made in Vermont and New Hampshire since the mid to late 1970's!
The FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH is this:
There have been NO legitimate historical cohesive continous "Abenaki" Communities or "enclaves of people of Abenaki descendants" since ca. 1900 or even perhaps before 1840. There have been "families" directly or indirectly connected to one another, such as the Lampman's etc, or the Phillips, Sweetser's, Way's, and Woodward's; etc. who are in Vermont etc. Are they "Abenaki". Perhaps. Perhaps not. The documentation put on the table, given time and further research will yield the answers to that very question. Anyone proclaiming to be from a historical Tribe or Band is full of b.s. to my thinking, and they are decieving themselves and others whom they proclaim this to, UNLESS they have clear and convincing evidence they can SHOW and PROVIDE that PROVES the merits of their statements. Simply said, WE did NOT live in isolation, and we were NEVER "hiding" in plain sight, from the Eugenics Program or the otherwise, either in Vermont or New Hampshire, to my thinking. The Watso's NEVER hid in Claremont, N.H., the O'bomsawin's NEVER hid on Thompson's Point, the Laurent's NEVER hid in Intervale, N.H., the Masta's NEVER hid in Barton, Vermont, etc., and so on down the line with other known and documented Abenaki families. Those families and or persons that were not documented are usually almost always surrounded by those that were. ONLY these people who "hide" their genealogical records and social historical record documentations, and continue to seemingly decieve and and lie to themselves and others about their own truthful genealogical backgrounds proclaim that they were all "hiding in plain sight" (no disrespect towards the Bruchac's for using this "coin-phrase" either, kindly said) for fear of the Eugenic's, the Ku-Klux-Clan; etc. Yet obviously, the Eugenics were very specific as to whom they were researching. Obviously NOT everyone was caught up in the Eugenic's era and "sterilized" either in one family or another, including my own Woodward family of both Vermont and New Hampshire!
So, I just thought I would respond to this "b.s." coming from this unidentified "idiot" out there who decided to post on this other blog as to my person and my family ancestry. Stupidity seems to be contagious. What I have shown here in this post is SOME of what I have in my possession on my family ancestors documentarily. This "comment" from this other person, "that I alleged have NOTHING documentarily from my ancestors and or their descendants that shows Indian on it", is simply absurd and yet just another "example" of another smear campaign and whats been going here in N'dakinna towards people who seek out the TRUTH and then try to SHOW whats been REALLY going on here in Vermont and New Hampshire with all of these people claiming to be Abenakis without a shred of documentary evidence in hand. Conclusion: I have to laugh.
Indeed what goes around, does come around. Apparently this unidentified person (and Jeanne Lincoln-Kent herself) who put this b.s. out there on this other blog about me, has been proven to be exactly who they are. NOTHING.

Is Doug Buchholz Abenaki?

depends on the day. As you can see in many of his rantings on the internet he uses Abenaki Child as a handle, claims he has genealogy that proves he is abenaki however it is his long winded story with no documents that show Indian on them. there are few documents that would say that due to census laws years ago, no reservations that have enrollment list like out west etc etc. Basically Douglas is a kitchen table genealogist who does some good research but with all the twisted lies he adds onto facts who to heck would know what is true and not true on any subject! A real genealogist takes an oath that their work will be protected. As you can see what ever Douglas finds ( fact or fiction) he posts. do a www search and find out for yourself all the nutty things that are out there....

Kwai, WalillakYour posts are good and true. It is sad that people do not understand that what they put on the wheel will come back to them. It might take a while, but sooner or later, Creator takes care of all things. I am surprised that Salmon who has visited many different tribal and Band groups, has not learned this fundamental truth.Morningstar

Some Newly Found Older Documentations from 1996 -1998










Well "digging" through some papers I found these interesting tidbits. The first document (top one) is where Odanak resident Walter Watso claimed to be "Grand Chief" of the Abenaki People (Yet he never held any position of official capacity at Odanak, Quebec, Canada after the year 1979, in all truthfulness then, really the late Walter Watso thereafter was ONLY REPRESENTING "himself"). It is most interesting that this October 10, 1996 Littleton, N.H. Courier Newspaper article states that this so-called "Unity of the National Federation of the Sovereign Republic of the Abenaki Nation" DECLARED, as of July 1996 (or was it really 1997?) that Richard "Rick" Ray Hunt of Littleton, New Hampshire has been appointed "Diplomatic Ambassador to the State of New Hampshire". By whose honest decent authority? Why, because the late Walter Watso was no longer an official representative or had any political authority of and from Odanak, Quebec and subsequently it appears that he may have been simply "feeding" his hungry inflated ego, down State side here in Vermont and New Hampshire?! I think that is exactly what was going. Did Odanak know of his activities, endeavors, and the usage of that Odanak "seal" down here in Littleton, New Hampshire? One Watso family member that once held office in Odanak, years earlier, and a whole bunch of wannabe undocumented alleged Abenaki descendants who "incorporated" into a "Council" or Organization then claiming to be an Vermont Abenaki Tribe and or Band. You do the math. I know I have. How many so-called official "Abenaki" documents had that indented or pressed "seal" of approval, in which was pushed in front of the Vermont and or New Hampshire Politicians over the years by these so called appointed "Abenaki" "Diplomatic Ambassador's", so as to very likely decieve and manipulate those very politicians into assuming those very documents (such as those numerous Gov. Proclamations etc) that Nancy Millette (now Doucet) thrust out into the public media every chance she got, were even legitimately created in the first place?!
Then, on February 04, 1997 "alleged Cowasuck Chief" Howard F. Knight Jr. wrote to Eric Floyd, of Pitsfield, MA stating that "the genealogist and I have concurred the findings of, and the verification of, Eric Floyd's genealogy and his Native American bloodlines from early Abenaki ancestors". Oh, there is that "change of the Membership Cards" ploy again. Re-designing and reissuance of these "Cards". Everyone was redoing "Membership Cards". Purge Purge Purge. That's how they got rid of some "follower's" and made it look more and more fancifully legit. Just like their websites now, such as the Koasek website, the Nulhegan website, the El-Nu website, the Missisquoi website. Puke. Hey, it was GOOD $$$$. Ka-Ching Cha-Ching. Who was this unidentified "genealogist" I do wonder!. Who were the so-called alleged "proper Tribal authorities? Instead of "Rushing Water", Howard Knight Jr. was referred to as "Rushing B.S." in some circles.
On May 13, 1997 it seems there was some sort of altercation/ and or subsequent interaction between Howard F. Knight Jr. and David A. Hill (Wawanolette) allegedly claiming to be "The True Hereditary Grand High Chief or Prince". Yet, previously on May 15, 1996 (a year before) "Cowasuck N.A." or Howard F. Knight Jr. as representative of the above "incorporation" sought Judicial Relief against said David A. Hill and his wife Sheila Hill to stop them from "interferring" with Knight's incorporate activities, etc.
Aah, and then we arrive at Rick Hunt's cousin Nancy Millette Cruger Lyons Doucet's particular document. This was "a gem" that I didn't know I had in my "stuff". NOTICE THE LETTER HEAD on this document and compare to the other documents in this post. On June 24, 1997 Nancy Millette/ now Nancy Doucet, was declared formally that she was appointed as the "Diplomatic Ambassador of the National Federation of the Sovereign Republic of the Abenaki". They made the Incoporated Organization, and then they made themselves "Grand Chief's, elections were held, and they slapped each other on the backsides supporting each other in this Grand Scheme. Sounds VERY similar to the Red Man's Order if you ask me. So, according to this document "Chief Diplomatic Ambassador Darrell Richard Larocque (father of Jesse James Larocque whom Nancy retrospectively had met in August 1993 in Bath, Grafton County, N.H. next to her mother's house) appointed her to this position. Then it was subsequently "ratified" by all Council's of Unity present (at the time) and was unanimous with the approval of "Grand Chief" Walter Watso. Hmmmm interesting (wonder if Odanak Quebec, Canada's Abenaki Community knew the kind of monkey business going on down in New Hampshire at the time and approved of it going on?). After all this went down, allegedly a "surprise award" on July 16, 1997 during her Twin Mountain N.H. Pow-wow Event, "Supreme Council Chief" (and don't forget "Grand Chief" too) Walter Watso presented this "appointment" to Nancy Cruger a.k.a. Song of the Winter Fox. Also participating in the award ceremonies was State Senator Fred King, and Van McLeoud, the Commissioner of Cultural Affairs (who issue's the Gov. Proclamations of which Nancy Millette or Nancy Doucet as she is known now, kept bringing attention too over the years).
If I remember correctly, Nancy Cruger, wrote in the Littleton Town Report, that it was with much regret that she left her post with Littleton (as Town Promoter) in January 1996 after four (4) eventful years. She stated inthe Town Report, "The Native American Cultural Weekend is a project that I'm continually working on with Native People from acrosss the country year round. There will be more events to come but not as a part of the Town Government's event. The response from the public, tourists, Native People, and the Governor's Cultural Affairs Office has been so overewhelmingly supportive over the past four years, that Im deeply committed to continue that event in the future for all of those that look so forward to it every year".
Seems to me that the Littleton Town Selectman Earl Ellingwood "retired" as well, that very same year. It does make me wonder how many "protectors and or supporter's" kept Nancy Cruger in her position for as long as she was in it; and how many others wanted to be rid of this "circus" of alleged Abenakis from the Town of Littleton, N.H. once and for all? Once, those particular person(s) were removed from their position(s), that didn't leave Nancy Cruger "protected" as Town Promoter for the Town of Littleton any longer, to my thinking. According to the Littleton Town Reports, which are a matter of Public Record, the position of Town Promoter for the Town of Littleton in 1996 was $50,000.00 dollars. That monetary figure proposal was brought down to $20,136.00 dollars for the year 1997. The Littleton, N.H. Selectmen's Proposed Budget for the Town Promoter Budget was further downsized monetarily to $9,311.00 dollars for the year 1997. A decrease in budget for the Town Promoter Nancy Cruger of 81.38 % percent. Naturally, financially speaking they told her the position of Town Promoter was no longer financially viable for whatever reason(s) whether it was lack of revenue, or dwindling taxes, or simply that they had, as a Township, had enough of this Pow-wow business in that they realized they were losing money, and not gaining any.
So naturally, by June 24, 1997 Nancy Cruger was appointed to the position of "Diplomatic Ambassador" just like her cousin Rick Hunt was appointed in October 1996. It gave her something to "lean on" and to promote herself and these other people as being legitimate representatives of the Abenaki People, when in fact, they were not legitimate at all. It was all based on deception and deceit; etc. If I am wrong in my conclusions, these so-called Diplomatic Ambassador's of the Abenaki ought to show and provide the documentation that proves me wrong, publicly.
Why can I say this? Because Walter Watso was not, in any way, truthfully representing his Abenaki Community of Odanak, Quebec in any official capacity or position since after 1979. He empowered and allowed these people such as Nancy Cruger to go around "Playing Indian". They were implying they "represented" ALL THE ABENAKI PEOPLE, which they most certainly did not have authority to do so or to imply that they were. If everything was built on their association and interaction with the late Walter Watso, then anything he signed and "sealed" with that Odanak "stamp" wasn't done in truthfulness, honesty, and transparency to my thinking. Everything falls apart, like a house of cards built on a windy day! The likes of Jeanne Lincoln - Kent, Homer St. Francis Sr., Howard F. Knight Jr., and on and on the list is long, all "supported" Walter Watso and even today these very people will continue to espouse that these alleged "Grand Chiefs" and Abenaki Ambassadors" were such "wonderful people" who represented and alleged helped the Abenaki People. But were they really just serving each others "interests" and or perspectively serving their own individual self interests in promoting their little scheme of recreating themselves into being alleged Abenakis of and from Vermont/ New Hampshire? Lining whose pockets with $$$$. Certainly these documents imply and indicate the deception ran deep and far. If indeed these so-called "Diplomatic Ambassadors" and or "Grand Chiefs" were going about deceiving, manipulating, and perhaps even lying to themselves and to others, what does that say for the whole Abenaki People that these particular people allegedly "represented"?
If you look at the letter head "title" portion of each of these documents and the content of each, it certainly reminds one, of the Red Man's Order Fraternity Organizations in which Philip Deloria speaks of in his book, "Playing Indian". I highly recommend reading this book and then comparing the content of this book, to what is contemporary (ca. 1970's to present) what is happening here in Vermont and New Hampshire with these various "groups" proclaiming to being "Abenakis" from the historical Abenaki.

October 2000 SCRAP Article regarding Jefferson Archaelogical Site(s).







This is quite an interesting article which I conclude people who read this blogspot.com site might like to read. Obviously, there is no mention anywhere of finding any evidence of a contemporary "Abenaki Village" within Jefferson, Coos County, New Hampshire. Yet, I will genealogically SHOW that indeed there were "Abenaki" or Native descendants living within Jefferson, N.H. (such as the Virge - Ingerson lienage and also Molly Mollaso who married into the Hight family....she came from either St. Albans, Vermont or Maine according to the records) and yet, were NOT living in or around ANY externally observed or documented "abenaki village" or enclave of people. That's for another day and posting though, genealogically-speaking. Periodically, I will be putting "archaeological" articles on this blog as it pertains to Jefferson, New Hampshire.


July 12, 2000 and misc. articles.

Update to this Blogspot.com The Reinvention of the Vermont Abenaki.








I have had to temporarily cease adding documentation to this blogspot, because Nancy Lee Millette has decided to put forth a stalking charge against my person in Haverhill District Court in Haverhill, New Hampshire at 2:30 p.m. Case Number 454-2009-CV-34. Her allegations are/were as follows: (In RED is my commentary to her allegations/accusations against my person)
"For the past three years Douglas Buchhlutz (she can't spell?) You would think she could at least know how to spell my name Douglas Lloyd B-U-C-H-H-O-L-Z has followed me in the newspapers and all over the internet I NEVER followed anyone in the newspapers and all over the internet, I was notified of Nancy Millette's media articles by other people such as Lynn Menard-Mathieson and most especially by her cousin Rhonda Lou Besaw-True, who sent me the website links via emails or the actual newspapers; I wasn't stalking following her or anyone else! And even if I had "followed Nancy Millette's newspaper and media articles, when did that become a Criminal Act to read the freaking newspapers or online news articles? where he has constantly harassed me no, I was not harassing her or anyone else, I was merely adding my editorial commentary to the sites such as the www.cowhampshire.com and www.burlingtonfreepress.com, the Caledonia Record, and the Coos County Democrat newspaper's "editorial sections" in a obvious exercise of my right of Constitutional Free Speech and as such my editorial commentary to Nancy Millette's publicly made statements were not just about her, but about others as well. Today no I posted Nancy Millette's historical divorce record (which is PUBLIC REOCRD) on this blogspot.com site on Monday, June 22, 2009, not on June 24th, 2009 he has posted a blogspot with copies of my divorce which are a matter of PUBLIC RECORD and within the public domain or obviously I would not have been able to obtain them from the Littleton Family Division Court Clerk under my own legal name of Douglas Lloyd Buchholz on August 20th, 2008 & death certificate of family members no, I obtained the death record of Flora Eunice Ingerson - Hunt via an email attachment from Rhonda Lou Besaw-True on June 25th, 2008 at 1:10 PM. He now has purchased public records so this constitutes "stalking" & now has SS# of myself, children, and X-husband and have I indicated or shown at any time, that I would use such information maliciously towards Nancy Millette or the other three parties listed on the divorce record? The answer is no I wouldn't; the SS#s on the Documents are there because the Littleton Family Division clerk did not redact/remove them, simply because it would invalidate the actual Petition for Divorce and the Divorce Decree Certificate; I did redact/remove said SS#s and the middle part of the birthdates of all four mentioned on the documents. He constantly harrasses me & my family publically if by responding to newspaper articles and internet articles where Nancy Millette Crurger Lyons has made public statements about her own ancestors such as Flora Ingerson Hunt or Flora's mother Almira Rines Ingerson, then it is my right to free speech to respond to her publicly made statements; this is not "harrassment" nor is it "stalking" Nancy Millette or anyone else who historically has associated with this woman & uses the internet & newspapers as instruments of intimidation hardly the situation at all, my editorial articles not only addressed the publicly made statements by Nancy Millette herself, retrospectively-speaking, but also others as well, such as Frederick Matthew Wiseman, John Moody, April St. Francis-Merrill, Howard Franklin Knight Jr., Walter Watso, etc. My editorial articles in newspapers or on blogs, were not just about Nancy Millette Cruger Lyons but about all of these so-called Vermont and or New Hampshire Abenaki groups and their "public representatives", etc. He has developed a 220 page genealogy he says is mine contrary to her statement here, it is not that I have stated this genealogy belongs to her, rather the ancestors have said she belongs to them; I know this because we share common ancestors, and both Nancy Millette's and my own ancestral relations were neighbors in Littleton, Dalton, Whitefield, and Jefferson, New Hampshire. has posted it all over the internet no specifically I placed the genealogical report within two very specific genealogical websites, they being Genforum.com and Ancestry.com. Then http://www.rootsweb.com/ "picked up" the postings on Ancestry.com because the two are connected somehow, and http://www.google.com/ picks up nearly everything, but I am not responsible for what these companies do with what I put onto specific genealogically-oriented websites, looking for the Abenaki ancestral connections which Nancy Millette herself has publicly proclaimed in numerous newspaper articles etc stated she descended from. with defamation of character narrative. It took three weeks for me to get some of this off the internet by reporting abuse Nancy Millette forgets to mention that right along with her complaining to http://www.genforum.com/ and http://www.ancestry.com/ "List Monderators" there were her associates/allies Luke Willard, Raymond Lussier, and forget Peggy Fullerton who were making complaints and requesting the information be removed as well. Now he has a blogspot where he has shown some receipts where he purchased my divorce papers (again, these are a matter of PUBLIC RECORD and in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. ANYONE can obtain said documents) which also gives him all of our SS#s I did not seek these documents to obtain anyone's Social Security numbers but was actually seeking to documentarily solidify when Nancy Millette had left to go reside at Tom Porter's Mohawk Community in Fonda, NY...nothing more and nothing less than that. The documents does show historical "PLACEMENT" of my investigation of this alleged Koasek Chief Nancy Millette Lyons, leaving us with a fear of identity theft ANYONE can obtain, with a credit card and $14.99 up to $29.95, Public Document Information, Background Records, Court Records, Marriage Records, Death Records etc RIGHT ONLINE on ANYONE. From what I understand Douglas suffers from a mental illness and what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?! The question is, does Nancy Millette also suffer from a mental illness? My conclusion is Nancy Millette is obssessed about my having a mental condition and I am in fear of her going to snap. Maybe I ought to run to the White Man's Court and seek a Temporary Order of Protection against HER, so she will not try to harm me anymore. Anyone want to check out the PUBLIC COURT RECORDS of Windsor County, Vermont on Nancy Millette and see who has "snapped"?! I have seen his obsession yeah Peggy Fullerton, Luke Willard, and Carollee Reynolds etc., all said "obsession" and the same terminology in their harrassing emails to me between 2006 and August 2008 and hate for me no, I do not hate Nancy Millette Cruger Lyons or anyone else, I simply have demanded she substantiate her publically made statements in the newspapers, etc., not with what comes from the mouth, or from living descendants but from her Rines or Ingerson ancestry showing the evidence of this woman's statements esculate I have not escalated anything, my "address" has been pretty even and stable all along towards all those claiming to being Abenaki over the last three years, that I now fear he will snap Again, want to take a look-see down at the Windsor County, Vermont Court Records on a Nancy Lyons Court Record file? Let your investigative brains decide whose "snapped" and who hasn't. Suggestion: Let's ask Howard Lyons. That court file is also PUBLIC INFORMATION and in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. At this time he has followed me via the internet and when did that, if such can be proven, become a criminal act against anyone? All I did was respond to publicly made statements in publicly published articles wherein Nancy Millette was making her public statements, he knows where I volunteer my time (such as the Committee at Burlington Quad Centenial) yeah, so what? That information is right in the VCNAA Newsletter; I have not owned a vehicle in quite a while, nor have I really given a hoot where Nancy Millette resides in either the State of Vermont or the State of New Hampshire. On this blog I am merely documenting HISTORICAL RECORDS related to these REINVENTED ALLEGED ABENAKI REPRESENTING THEMESLEVES AS THE REAL ABENAKIS and he has written letters against me to those I work with Really?, when?, cause I think the ONLY email I have ever sent to anyone was to Nancy Millette's supporter and ally Frederick Matthew Wiseman PhD over in Burlington, Vermont and that was in-part, specific to my concerns regarding Nancy Lee Millette publicly made statements in the media, but again that was quite some time ago, NOT recently thats for sure! Since at least September 2008 I have not communicated in any way with Fred Wiseman nor Nancy Millette in any way, shape, or form. Nor do I care to in the future either. He has gotten (paid for) vital records of my family Actually, I did not pay one red penney (cent) for obtaining Flora Eunice Ingerson - Hunt's Death Certificate; I obtained it from Nancy Lee Millette - Cruger - Lyons own cousin Rhonda Lou Besaw-True on June 25th, 2008 at 1:10PM and has it posted all over the internet I just LOVE the way Nancy Millette says "all-over-the-internet" as if I am somehow responsible for the actions of www.google.com or other search engine's but no, I did not do as she accuses me of, I merely put the HISTORICAL documentation here on this specific blog such as death certificate of her great grandmother Flora (nee: Ingerson) Hunt. These are only a few examples". Qoute.
Simply and plainly said, this was Nancy Millette Cruger Lyons Doucet's attempt to JUDICIALLY HARRASS, INTIMIDATE, and GAG ORDER by Court order.
Well, anyway, this is WHY I have not placed further documentation on the blog since June 24th, 2009.
I will be putting the TRANSCRIPT of the Court Hearing here on the blog when I get it from the Court in the near future.

July 2000 Jefferson, N.H. Archaeological Article.





This four page article (Pages 13-14-15-16) is quite informative as to WHO found/located the Site / Paleo-Indian materials. It most certainly was NOT Nancy L. Millette - Cruger - Lyons. On page 16 (left column) clearly the "professionally trained" Deputy State (of New Hampshire) Archaeologist, Richard "Dick" Boisvert states, "it's almost beyond my imagination," he says, "that there were later occupations that haven't shown up. "It could be we haven't found them yet, but after four years I'm confident it's exclusively Paleo-Indian". Meaning that they , in the four years of archaeological investigations, have not found ANY "Contact Period/ Woodland Indian material evidence" which would suggest, imply or show that there was some ca. 1850 - 1875 "Abenaki Village" in Jefferson, New Hampshire as Nancy stated, of which Almira (nee: Rines) and her husband George W. Ingerson nor their daugher Flora "Una Anna" (nee: Ingerson) Hunt, were of. Certainly if Almira had a house/ roof over her head and a warm bed to give birth in, she'd hardly want to take a stroll to the riverbank to give birth to her daughter Flora. Secondly, IF there were an Abenaki Village of which these people were involved in, certainly "outside observers" would have made mention of it documentarily-speaking in the historical records. Yet, there was no such Abenaki Village in Jefferson, New Hamsphire in ca. 1850-1875. It only exists within Nancy Millette - Cruger - Lyon's imagination!

July 08-09, 2000 "Sagawa" 8th Annual Twin Mountain, N.H. Pow-wow Event: More articles.







Rhonda Besaw (then of Barnet, Vermont) claimed in July 2000, to be "Eastern Abenaki" descent, yet years after this article was published in the Littleton Courier newspaper when she hired me to research her genealogical ancestral background, in April 2007, I could not find ANY indication of "Eastern Abenaki" ancestral connections in her ancestral past. Retrospectively-speaking, Rhonda did provide me a Microsoft WORD typed document manufactured "write-up" from her father's mother, Gretchen "Teat" Henriette (nee: Hill) Bisson - Story,that Gretchen had allegedly wrote. Quote, "Nash married an Indian girl" and "I have always understood that Nash-I don't know his first name-came down the Connecticut River to the Plainfield banks-another man was with him-Grandfather Nash had pneumonia, they cared for the men and eventually Nash married one of them. They had one son, Fields Nash-Grandfather Nash died of TB-The Indians buried him with them somewhere in the Black Hills. Fields Nash married Prudence LeDoux. They had 6 or 7 children-which one, Minnie, was my Grandmother. It is the little Indian blood from the Nash that I am proudest. Truly American".
Gretchen's mother was Virginia (nee: Bythrow) Hill. Virginia's mother was Minnie Jane (nee: Nash) Bythrow born in ca. 1863 in Plainfield, Sullivan County, New Hampshire. Minnie Jane (nee: Nash) Bythrow's sister was
Chloe Sophi "Elizabeth" (nee: Nash) Dyke, also born in Plainfield, N.H. Chloe's son Fredric Volney Dyke who was born in Lyme, N.H. married to Emma Tattersall Dec 1904 Lyme, N.H. and this couple had Mabel Dyke in Apr 1902 Queechee, Vermont. Mabel Dyke married to Reginald Hunt (son of Flora "Una Ana" actually it was Eunice nee: Ingerson - Hunt) in Oct 1922 in North Haverhill, N.H. Reginald and Mabel's son Melvin "Slim" Ray Hunt born in Nov. 1926 in Monroe, N.H. married to Dolores M. Bilodeau. It is their son that is Richard "Rick" Ray Hunt. It is Rick Hunt's aunt Beverlyn Irwin (nee: Hunt) who married to Malcolm Millette. Nancy Lee (nee: Millette) Wiggins - Demming - Cruger - Lyons is a first-cousin to Richard "Rick" Ray Hunt!
So, my reason for bringing this genealogy up is this. If they all are related to one another, are they all supporting each other in their self-proclamation's of being "Abenaki" Indians, when perhaps in factual reality, they may not be anything of the sort?! The dynamic being that they are slapping each other on the backside's is whats been going on between all three of them to my thinking.
Here is how I've done "the math":
1. Nancy Millette/ Cruger/ Lyons (as I knew her throughout these years) introduces herself (retrosepctively-speaking) to Jesse James Larocque & "the alleged Abenaki gang" from up in Swanton, Vermont in the Summer or Fall of 1993 led by the late "Chief" Homer St. Francis Sr. and they all came into Littleton, New Hampshire, and she introduced brown-ash-basketmaking elderly Newton E. Washburn of Bethlehem, N.H. as well to this bunch. He gets a "membership card" and she does too.
2. Then Rhonda Besaw meets up with her relative Nancy Cruger who informed Rhoda Besaw "that she (Nancy) is now a Diplomatic Ambassador of the Abenaki Nation" sounding pretty impressive to Rhonda.
3. This 1993 "interaction" with the "Chief" Homer Walter St. Francis and Homer's "bodyguard" Darrell Larocque bunch-of-folks from Swanton, Vermont was the catalyst/spark, or the "foundation" for these three (Nancy Millette-Cruger, Richard "Rick" Ray Hunt, and Rhonda L. Besaw) reinventing themselves into becoming alleged Abenakis.
Yet, their genealogical and ancestors historical documentations do not support or even convincingly imply this reinvention/ self-identity of either three of them being of "Eastern or Western Abenaki descent." Don't think I haven't asked and demanded them to provide me the clear and convincing evidence as to their repeated claims of being Abenaki descendants. As yet (June 2009) I have yet to be shown any documentation or ancestral testimonies either on paper, audio, or otherwise to convince me my conclusions about these three person's has been in error.
I was commissioned/paid by Rhonda L. Besaw-True in late April 2007 to research her genealogical historical records. I did find that indeed, she does descend from "Roch Manintoubeouich / Manitouabeouichit" and his wife
"Outchibabhanoukoneau/Outchibahabanoukouehou/squa" from the Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada area ca. 1600 - 1610. This couple was clearly HURON who, upon being removed from their land in "the west" by the diseases ravaging the Huron and conflicts/warfare with the Iroquois/Mohawk People's with the Huron, they fled to Sillery, Quebec, Canada "under the protection of the Jesuit Priests promises". Even the names are NOT Western Abenaki. Their names are not written in Western Abenaki by the Jesuits of that time! Yet, ONLY until I secured this genealogical ancestral information by September 2007, based on what Sherry Gould of Bradford, N.H. kindly shared with me of her own ancestry, did Rhonda L. Besaw have ANY definitive documentary evidence or awareness as to her Native (Huron) ancestry. Yet, she is in this July 2000 Sagakwa pamphlet/ flier, claiming to being of "Eastern Abenaki" decent. Her "foundation" (then and now) for this self-proclamation of being "Eastern and Western Abenaki" is based on allegedly what her father Virgil Alan Besaw "told her" when she was a teenager. "Oral history" is great stuff but what is there to 'back up' this oral history. The answer she gave was pretty much Ziltch, Nadda, Zero, -O-, NOTHING to support this statement of her's. There is NOTHING to support or even imply that what Nancy L. Millette-Cruger-Lyons has said about her Great Grandmother Flora Eunice Ingerson-Hunt nor Flora's mother Almira Rines-Ingerson for that matter, was factually truthful either!
So you tell me, what does this say about whats been going on?! What does this all mean? Is it that three of these person's, right along with a whole lot of other folks were/ are "Playing Indian/Abenaki" (like what is discussed in Philip Deloria's book?), being for better words...."reinvented Abenaki" without a stred of credible documented evidence to support their oral self-proclamations?! Being a Huron descendant, being a Micmac descendant or being a Native descendant does NOT make one an "Abenaki" to my thinking. I guess it just didn't and still doesn't matter to them. One does not see a Mik'Maq person who knows they are Mik'Maq claiming to being Abenaki, nor do you see a Penobscot claiming to being Abenaki. But over here in Vermont and New Hampshire, if a person has a 1600's Mik'Maq or Algonquin or Huron ancestor, then they self-identify as being "Abenaki". When one questions them as to their self-identification, they claim "that there really was no such a people as "Abenaki", that it was an invention or error of the "white-man's historical pen". They say that the term "Abenaki" is generic for the word "Wabanaki". As I have said repeatedly, "the genealogical documentation supports the oral history and visa versa oral history supports the genealogical documentation as well of one's family ancestry". Perhaps someone out there in the world will have and provide more solidification (genealogically speaking) to support these self-proclamations of these three people. Until the evidence, clearly and convincingly, is provided, I will continue to doubt these people are true and legitimate Abenaki descendants. So ought everyone else doubt the merits of anyone claiming to be Abenaki in Vermont/ New Hampshire, at least to my thinking nowadays, UNLESS these people can prove by verifiable evidence that what they say is truthful, that they are indeed Abenaki . Jokingly said, most folks who are "west" of the Mississippi with a hint of having any Native ancestry, claim of being "Cherokee" or "Sioux" .....folks here "east" of the Mississippi with a hint of having any Native ancestry, automatically assume and proclaim that they are "Abenaki".
