Orleans County, Vt

About Me
I am a Ret'd Chief and Senior Advisor to the Koasek Traditional Tribal Council of the Sovereign Abenaki Nation, Wobanaki Confederacy (though we have not been recognized yet by the Confederacy). Also, I am a disabled Vietnam Combat veteran (1966-67), on VA 100% disability as well as I get my social security..

Recently, we were purposely dropped from further recognition in Vermont due to a so-called Vt "Alliance" that is comprised of 4 groups of those who have NO Genealogy to prove that they are of Abenaki lineage, in spite of our Tribal leaders publicly stating that we would (“would….is the operative word) prove our lineages as Abenaki (Oh, yes, at the “appropriate time”, at the “appropriate place” and to the “appropriate people” B.S. which is the same old song-same old dance-same old bullsh** as usual from Howard Knight Jr. and his cronies/followers/”tribal members,” like Karen Majka aka Karen Mica etc) wherein they can not. The leader of one of the groups (April A. St. Francis-Rushlow-Merrill of the St. Francis/Sokoki Missisquoi alleged and reinvented Inc. group) is actually of Huron (and Micmac) descent from the 1600’s, another so-called leader (Luke Andrew Willard – actually his father was Donald Edward Sackett, of the Nulhegan –Coosuk alleged and reinvented Inc. group) has no group as the people under him closed it down and it is actually defunct. You explain that one to me and that the State of Vt is going to recognize this group? And he also, has NO proven Genealogy..

It is quite a story for sure but we are still fighting, and it looks like we will be eventually recognized in New Hampshire as we are in discussions with the State of NH as to the new proposed NH Commission of Native American Affairs. NH knows of the fraudulent Alliance and has left the so-called Vt "Alliance" out of the discussions in NH. (House Bill or HB 1610 here in New Hampshire)

Feel free to contact me privately and I will gladly put you in touch with the Tribal Chief and other Tribal Officers of the Tribe. In Vermont, we ARE the Vermont Historical Abenaki Tribe(Bullsh**…..MORE LIES from Howard Knight Jr.) that the State has left out this time in the Recognition Bill that is presently in the Vt Legislature. Another thing that may interest you is that recently, our Tribal Chief recieved the Official Sash of the Chief of Chiefs of the Koasek/Cowasuck peoples that had been handed down drom the early 1800's, and the respect that he is do by these frauds, it is not being granted or honored. Just so that you know a little of our tribal history. And I say this to you as a Fellow Abenaki and a brother, from this day forward, I will keep you, Jon Yellowbear, in all of my prayers. Aho!

PS: FYI ---Our Tribal website is at Cowasuck Abenaki.com. Once the search engine gets you there, look for Koasek Traditional Tribal band and you will be there. Some of the Tribal Officers and their contact e-mail addresses can be there, to include Chief Brian Chenevert and Tribal Genealogist, Paul Bunnel

My main concerns for the state of Maine are:
That the day comes when all of us who are Abenaki, no matter where we nay live within our ancient Homeland here on Turtle Island, that we will be united together in the reborn and expanded Wobanaki Confederacy, and that many more of our brothers and sisters who are bonded together by the Tie that Binds us, the blood of our ancestors, will allow all of us to once again stand with the pride of the ancestors and also that others of our nation will step forward and serve in the halls of the States and the Federal Legislative bodies , equal to all others who serve in those places where change for the good is needed.

What ways can you help Maine Refounders / Paint Maine Red?
I do not have a lot of extra money but I could help your campaign by occasionally giving some small contributions, if that were okay?

How did you find out about this site?
A Tribakl member in New hampshire found it by accident (I say the Creator led him to it for a reason) and fowarded it to me.

Your website or Blog
http://Cowasuckabenaki.com

Will you join your Congressional District and County groups?
Being severely visually impaired YET HE CAN TYPE ON THE COMPUTER JUST FINE, I do my best locally here in Vermont to affect issues of importance and to do my responsibilities the the Tribe, first and foremost. I only wish that I could see better and that I was in better health so that I can do more then I do. I only hope that no one condemns me as a slacker..

Do let me know if occasionally small contributions will help you. I can help that way, as I said, and I say, The creator be with you as you take upon yourself this new journey as you walk the Red Road in life and that it will always be with high honor to all of our Relations. Aho!.

"delusional rejects"

"stupidly infantile"

"ignorant"

First off, there is the one (Paul Wilson Pouliot) who fraudulantly filled out an application and stated at the time that he was of "Laurentian Iroquois" lineage, as well as he had the audacity to have MY signature forged, either by himself or someone, on his application without my knowing it until years later when he posted it on the Internet as proof that I had accepted him into the band. Soon, thereafter, he engineered an illegal overthrow of the legal, legitimate and True Coos band leader of the group (Howard Franklin Knight Jr. himself who in March of 1993 "re-actived his alleged retired self," like some B-Rated Abenaki "Chucky Doll") , and then he brazenly moved the band headquarters, without proper approval of the citizens of the band, from Vermont to his home in Mass, and then?

Well, I do conclude that right here in this email, is a CLASSIC HOWARD F. KNIGHT DISTORTION AND LIE. Howard F. Knight, Jr. was NOT saying or even implying these allegations when Paul Wilson Pouliot and Howard himself went to that Corporation Protest Hearing in January and February 1993 against one Arthur Marchand....hmmmm I wonder WHY?

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS DOCUMENT: LINK: http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2010/02/february-22-1994-letter-from-howard.html

One does see, retrostpectifvely-speakins yet definitiely, in 1994, that Howard Knight, Jr. was claiming, by his own hand, that he was "retired" and that Paul Wilson Pouliot was the "Chief" of the Northeast Woodlands-Coos-COWASS NORTH AMERICA, Inc.

.......no complaints or allegations of forging documents with his name, no allegations of "overthrowing anyone" or illegally transfering an ALLEGED and REINVENTED "Tribe" or "Band" from one State (Vermont) to another (Massachusetts), and NOW Paul Wilson Pouliot resides in Alton, Belknap County, New Hampshire. So the Cowasuck "Tribe" went from Vermont, to Massachusetts, and then to New Hampshire?!

 Now that's what one would call a "Traveling Abenaki Circus"!

Howard F. Knight, Jr. was the original Circus Ring-Leader

and he wanted his throne and whip back

but in reality

 the whole bunch of them

were just wanabe Abenaki

Clowns!

More Ranting and Raving......bla bla bla

Evem More Ranting and Raving.....bla bla bla

And More Bla bla bla

and bla bla bla

Man, and I thought Paul Wilson Pouliot was having "issues"?

Look at where Paul Pouliot comes from:

Howard Franklin Knight, Jr.

BTW, notice the the headband, the choker and the bracelet.....

what....no sunglasses

no fancy Chief's headdress

no fancy Walking Stick

Rotten apple don't fall far from rotten tree.

which produce

Kwai Kwai Karen Majka Mica,

I will try to list the pertinent pages so you do not have to read through all the pages of my manuscript. As you have already found, the specific names of the Knight family members begins on page 84 through page 106, to my Grandfather Knight. Then pages 112 to 114 refer to some "out of wedlock" children in the early 1940's of my grandfather by a Mrs Farron from Sugar Hill, NH.
Also referenced on page 114 are prior "out of wedlock" children by my grandfather while he was still married to my Grandmother, Ida May Gear-Giguere. This way you will be able to get all of the possible children my grandfatehr fathered. Who knows, some day someone may show up and be one of these missing links.
Page 116, The Savage family -- Naragansett
Page 117-119, Sarah Savage Tremain, dau of Mr & Mrs Savage marries Benjamin Cooley, son of a Mr & Mrs Earl Cooley (read the three pages)
Page 118, children & grandchildren of Benjamin and Sarah Cooley
Page 120 - 122, Cooley-Goss marriage; Goss-Knight marriage
Page 123 - Aldrich-Seald- (FYI) This lineage, besides being in my direct lineage, it also ties directly to Bea Nelson of the Nebasak Women's group in Derby Line, Vt.

Page 125 - 126, Geer/Gear/Giguere lineage from Joesph born at.....

Missisquoi Village, Dunham, PQ, down to my Grandmother, Ida May Gear-Giguere (my father's mother)

The BEGINNING OF MORE LIES: Howard Knight Jr.'s ancestors were NEVER in "Missisquoi Village" because actually, truthfully, honestly, factually a portion of his Geer Ancestor's relatives (non-directly connected to Howard, Jr. were residence of Dunham, Missisquoi County, Quebec, Canada) ONE CAN SEE HOW HE BEGINS TO BEND AND TWIST.
* Please Note remarks on page 126, by Richard "Skip" Bernier, now the Chief of the Odenak Family of Newport, and grandfather to one of the Vt Commission of Indian Affairs members, Steven or Stephen
DeLaBreurre, regards the Geer-Gear-Giguere Fasmily and where they are at, in and around Odenak. Pierreville, PQ.
Page 133- Gear-Giguere connected families- Bigelow, Allen, Vallem, LaValley, etc. (Much information about Uncle Wren Bigelow-you should read-a real good man)
Page 139-141- Please do me a favor and read these pages. Pass a copy of each of the two pages to Brian, if you can break it out. I think he would/will find it very interesting about my Uncle Wren Bigelow.
Page 143-148-Grammy Knight (Ida May Gear-Giguere) -DOB & POB and some associated and related families, to include direct connections,finally establishe to the Chief Walter Watso family of Odenak. You must read the entire section as this was why the Odenak people (Richard "Skip" Bernier, now Chief of The Odenak Families of Newport, Vt,) wanted me out of the picture and why I was assaulted in 2000 & 2001. I have indirect ties to Odenak through the Watso family and a common link of his and my lineage through the ancient Abenaki family named Ne8nsozak, meaning "Ancient Relations From The Woods" to several families listed in this section, to include DuBois.
MORE DISTORTIONS AND MORE LIES! I doubt very much that Richard "Skip" Bernier ever claimed documentarily or in writing that he was or is "Chief" of the Odanak descendant families in and around Newport, Vermont. Period.
Secondly, Mr. Bernier by factual documentation, had merely taken over and became the receivership of the "Cowasuck OF North America, Inc." of Vermont, in August 2000, of which Howard F. Knight, Jr. established by fee, UNDER THE LAWS OF VERMONT in the Spring of 1993. After he, Howard F. Knight, Jr. allegedly "retired" and then "re-actived himself" in March of 1993 according to his own handwritten documents!

(Oh, yeah, oops, I ...and we... all aren't supposed to know about "that" either, according to Paul Pouliot and Howard Knight, Jr.)

Now, in September 2006, six (6) year span later, Howard F. Knight, Jr. wanted or felt the need to "be somebody" so contrary/opposite to his other documentary statements, claiming that Bruce DuBois and "Skip" Bernier allegedly assaulted and  attacked him, that Odanak was OUT TO GET HIM, to allegedly "destroy His genealogy,".....he in Sept. 2006 wanted to use these two men and THEIR genealogies to his benefit, using Dr. Gordon Day's information from The Identity of the St. Francis Indians. It was DuBois and Bernier restrospectively, who had confronted and challenged Howard Knight, Jr. himself, directly, as to the TRUTH of his unfounded claims and proclamations (since at least one of these men, Richard "Skip" Bernier IS legitimately documented an Abenaki from Odanak, recognized by such historical Abenaki Community, which is not merely an incorporation).
Pages 147 & 148-Confirmation as to Gear-Giguere lineages and where they (specific family) are now spread out to, by no less the Chief Richard "Skip" Bernier of the Odenak Family of Newport, Vt and when
confirmed by him. MORE DISTORTIONS and LIES! Also, this explains why they were looking for my copies of my Geneology, so as to distroy it at that time, but now too late. Really?, because the genealogy can NEVER be destroyed on anyone; this is about as paranoid a statement I have heard! ALSO, ties of family to the Obomsawin fanily of Odenak, to include Chief Gilles Ombomsawin of the Obomsawin family-Odenak. (Gillis O'Bomsawin confronted Howard F. Knight, Jr. and ALL OF THESE FAKES, FRAUDS, and WANABE ABENAKIS by letters in his later lifetime, before his death).

I have truied to make eevrything as brief as possible to cut down the time to put it tgether and to make it easier for you. Also, the pages about the "Nude Follies", of my dad and his family and friends, I mentioned so you could get a little laughter for your hard working day.

As to the CONSACK Lineage, it is definately tied to the Watso and related families that are tied to my family as you will see in the page listings and you read the pertinent pages. Some of the other families, I did not jknow might be connected to mine. I have heard of Godin and was told once it might be related but I have never followed it up as never time enough to do so.
Let me know if this information helps. What I have is what I have. As to the Consack and related families, I only know what is referenced in the various pages as to Watso and related families. I hope this all helps you to do that lineatge and also mine in a shorter time.
You take care and stay well and treat yourself well. I send my best of regards and respects to you and hope all is going well for you. It is late so I will get a little sleep as I have a long day tomorrow. take care. Akwanna and Adio.
Respectfully Yours,
Howard Franklin Knight, Jr.

Several questions come to mind, after reading this diatribe of distortions and lies by Howard Franklin Knight, Jr.

Howard F. Knight, Jr. claims that Ida May (nee: Geer) was born in Odenak (Odanak), Quebec, Canada, and YET THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THIS, in or around Odanak/Pierreville/St. Francis du Lac, Quebec, Canada.

So, IF Howard F. Knight's Grandmother Ida May (nee: Geer) Knight was allegedly Abenaki/Cowasuck, then the challenge is placed upon this man, here and now, to produce the evidence.....visibly, factually, documentarily, and honestly. Because I conclude that he has been and is LYING about his own grandmother!

Ask the Watso family if they have Howard F. Knight, Jr.'s ancestor's in their genealogies. Ask the Odanak Degonzague family if they have his ancestors in their genealogical records as well. I am sure either the Watso family or the Degonzaque/ Consack family would be more than delighted to show and provide that Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. is an additional legitimate family descendant, that was "hiding in plain sight"?!

Additionally, if he's been lying about his own grandmother and the rest of his ancestry, then it beg's to be asked and answered, as to what else has the man been willing to lie about?!

This man, claims stupidly and ignorantly, that he represents the Abenaki Ancestors, and in particular the Cowasuck People as their "Chief" or "Retired Chief" or as their "Reactivated Retired Chief" or as their "Senior Advisor". That reality, is built on lies, distortions, deceit, deception and dishonesty by this man, and anyone who has decided to associate with him!

The Attorney General of Vermont ought to force these so-called USA based "Chiefs" to produce the evidence of their claims and proclamations of allegedly being Cowasuck (Coos), Missisquoi, etc., and if these "Chief's" and their so-called "followers/ card holders" cannot, without protest or hestitation do so, clearly and convincingly (meaning documentarily), then the State ought to incarcerate/prosecute in State or Federal Courts, these self-proclaiming "Chief's" for IDENTITY THEFT against the legitimately documented Abenaki Ancestors and Descendants.

Congress has established a Federal Law to protect Nort American Native Aboriginal Indian Arts and Crafts, but WHERE IS THERE A LAW (State or Federal) to PROTECT the legitimately documented Native People of this land, from having their IDENTITIES, and their SOVEREIGNTY from being whittled away by "self-created contemproary Incorporations"?

(like what is now happening here in Vermont and New Hampshire presently, who now are claiming to be Native ABENAKI and from the "Historical" Abenaki Tribes, Bands, or groups)

Genealogy Part 23 of So-Called "Chief" "Retired Chief" "Senior Advisor" "Reactivated Retired Chief" Howard Franklin Knight Jr.'s Genealogical History:

Email from Lea Mitchell to Douglas Lloyd Buchholz, dated October 29, 2009 at 1:16 P.M.

Howard F. Knight, Jr (hereafter called just "Jr.") was born in Thetford, Vermont as were his two sisters Ida and Cora. The parents did live in Middletown, Connecticut for a very short time while Howard Knight, Sr. worked as a attendant in the State Mental Hospital while there, but no children were born in Connecticut, as far as I know. But I could be wrong and Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. might actually have been born during their time in Connecticut. They were only there for about a year or so from my understanding. What Hill family are you talking about? There are Hill's in my direct line from Georgia, Vermont in Franklin County, Vermont. As for the Canada connections, the Young's who married into the Hill's were from Clarenceville, Quebec, Canada up near the line with New York and Vermont, along Lake Champlain. The Young family was from Vermont before going to Canada during the Revolution because the family were Loyalist's, meaning loyal to England. Howard F. Knight, Jr's parents seperated in 1953 and divorced in late 1955. Howard Knight, Sr. remarried to MY MOTHER (Maladene Alicia nee: Jenkins), his sister-in-law! Odd? Yes, but my family IS odd. All the adults stayed friends except my father who was a jerk anyway. Lea Mitchell.

There are some slightly "off" genealogical errors concerning places of birth and timeline dates but overall the jest of this particular email has proven to be "correct". Howard F. Knight and his sistser Cora Mae nee: Knight were both born in Middletown, Connecticut as evidenced by their Birth Record information. Both children were identified as "White" on their Birth Certificates. The parents and their two (2) children were in Middletown, CT for more than a year of time, as evidenced by the births of these first two children.

1:03 P.M. From: Dooshna@aol.com (Lea Mitchell) to Douglas Lloyd Buchholz dated Thursday, October 29, 2009 regarding the two Snelling girls being Abenaki:

Howard F. Knight's mother (Marion Corabelle nee: Cook) told me the Indian Story. She was directly descended from the Snellings. She was Half-Sister to my mother. I have since learned from the Snelling Genealogy online that the Indian was in FACT, "Black". Also "Color" comes through the Snelling family, Not the Thomas family (that married into the Snelling's). In the 1700's such things were not looked down on Especially in the Very Lower Classes which the Snelling's Were at THAT TIME. In one census One of the Snelling boys and his children are called Mulatto, But his wife (nee: Thomas) is Not called Mulatto, nor is his brother and family, not the father Charles Greene Snelling. In another census the guy is called Mulatto and then it is crossed out and written over it is this, "Says he was listed White in previous census". I have Absolutely Nothing to do with Howard F. Knight, Jr. but I can help you in your research. Do Not trust Anything HE says as fact. He is a BullS--- Artist and was one even 50 years ago when I last saw him. I was only 12 then, but I already Knew a Bull-S--- Artist when I hear or saw one. He has NO Indian blood in him, unless it is from the Knight line which I don't research because it is not my line in any way. Lea Mitchell

Lea Mitchell stated that, "Howard Knight Jr. was my Step-brother and half-cousin.  His mother and my mother were half-sisters and both over time married the same man, his father, making him (Howard Knight Jr.) go from being a half cousin to a step-brother half-cousin to me."

SO, even Howard F. Knight, Jr.'s own relative states that Howard Knight, Jr. is a Bullsh** Artist. Lea Mitchell goes on to state "That NO ONE ought to trust ANYTHING the man says as fact."

This woman has known Howard F. Knight, Jr. for well over 50+ years, and even when he was young man; and she was 12 years of age, he was a Bullsh** Artist even at that time, in her conclusions. What does that say about the man, Howard F. Knight, Jr., when his own family says this?!

2:27 P.M. From: Dooshna@aol.com (Lea Mitchell) to Douglas Lloyd Buchholz dated Thursday, October 29, 2009 regarding (again) these two Thomas-Snelling girls being Abenaki:

People pass down what they hear from family. They don't Mean to lie because they are only saying what They have been told. But, in Howard Franklin Knight's case, he Elaborates and Does tell outright lies, simply because he has a deseperate Need to "Be Somebody". Avoid him. I am continuously informed of what is going on in his family by another relative. Lea Mitchell

Again, Lea Mitchell, Howard Franklin Knight's own relative, states, "Howard Knight Jr., elaborates and does outright lie, simply because he has a deseperate need to "be somebody". Avoid him. THIS INFORMATION AND ADVICE, is coming from his own relative!

12:07 P.M. From: Dooshna@aol.com (Lea Mitchell) to Douglas Lloyd Buchholz dated Thursday, October 30, 2009 regarding (again) these two Thomas-Snelling girls being Abenaki:

Howard F. Knight, Sr. married my mother (Madalene Alicia nee: Jenkins - Martinez) in Middletown, Connecticut in December 1955. I know because I was at the wedding as a 9 year old. It took my mother 2 years to get divorced whereas it only took Howard, Sr. one year, so that is why they didn't marry as soon as his divorce became final in December 1954. Howard Knight ,Sr.'s children, Howard F. Knight Jr., Ida Jane and Cora Mae Knight came to live with us soon after, in 1956, and that same year has a son. As to the death certificate, the person who can give you all that information is Ida Jane Micheaud (Spelling?). She is Howard Franklin Knight's younger sister and lives around Derry, New Hampshire and is married to a guy named Royal Micheaud. You can find them, I am sure. My mother and Howard Franklin Knight, Sr divorced after all us kids were grown, in 1968 and I never saw Howard Knight, Sr or his two girls again and seldom had contact with them. As to the Snelling/Thomas/Willey's, Mary Willey maried first to John Thomas, then after he died, she married to Charles Green Snelling. They married about a week before or after the two twins Lucinda and Lorrinda married the two Snelling brothers in a double ceremony on the two twin girls 18th birthday. Mary became Mother-in-Law to her Own daughters and Charles became Father-in-Law to his own sons! Mary because Step-Mother to her Son-in-Law's and Charles was Step-Father to his Daughter-in-Law's!

Does it tell in that book or the next book Her kids? My mother was her first by her second marriage, Marion Waterman (m) a Cook first and 2 girls, Evelyn and Marion Corabell then (m) a Jenkins and had 3 girls with my mother being the first of those three. If the books were written in '42 my mother and her sisters should all be in one of the books since they were born way before '42. My Brother was in '43 so I guess he wouldn't be in there. I am going to have to buy those books.

"0639 hours EDT 29 April 2005. Kwai Kwai Mr. Leckie, I see by your letter wherein you discuss the families in the Danville-Morrisville/Morristown area. Also, you too have your problems with the "selectiveness" of Swanton and Odenak as to who is and is not Abenaki. You are not alone and I have said little to anyone outside my family though I could say much, especially since I have ties to the same areas and even further back, right back to the 1750's and 60's in Swnaton, Dunham, Lower Coos and elsewhere. I even have the original Abenaki family names at Dunham-Swanton, as well as the at The Oxbow at Lower Coos and some other lines.

I always wondered as to why when there was a ruckus in Danville (before the Town Hall burned in one of the many mysterious Town Hall fires of the time and the records of the town were lost) that certain families lined up with others against some others why the inicident was known around the area.

I now know why, from your remarks, the Woodward/Woodard family was aligned with my father's family, the Knight's, Gear-Giguere, Caswell, Tanner's, the Silsby's, Drown's and several other families on a list that I have that I got from the old Town of Danville Board of Selectmen, the Town Constable and some others. The details are sketchy but it was a real nasty situation at the time.

Also, your remarks no give me the clue as to why and how the Eugenics people went after my father and the family right after he and my mother  married in 1937 (on June 01, 1937 in Derby, Orleans County, Vermont); because this Eugenics lady picked up on my family from the alignment of families in the ruckus in Danville.

The reason I am placing this divorce record on this blog is because NO ONE, neither adoptive parent, Howard Franklin Knight, Jr. nor his wife Minnie, nor the Judicial Judge in the matter NOT ONCE mentioned that the parties were of "Abenaki" "Cowasuck" or "Indian" Descent. Why not? IF these two parents of their grandson, were claiming as they have been in other documents in other events and situations, why weren't they claiming they were Cowasuck, from the Clan of this and the Clan of that, Chief this and Senior Advisor of the that?

Dear Mr. Bruchac;

Enclosed, as promised, is the complete copy of the booklet by Mariella Squire as you requested. She repeatedly steps over the line and she persists in her lies and half truths, plus plagerism and deceit when she doesn't get her way.

It is clear that she will not quit until a way can be devised to end her rampage, as a so-called Abenaki. It is clear that she, her sister Ann Squire, and the odd-balls of the Women's Hoop are trying to destroy all of us, at any costs; and these books are the way they will attempt to publish the failed effort the book you stopped from being published last year.

If I can help in any way, feel free to call upon me; and you are always welcome in my lodge.

Sincerely + Respectfully, Chief Howard F. Knight Jr.
