NOTE: These are the Federal Census Records from 1860 to 1990. ANYONE can claim on the Census, that they are "Abenaki" or "Indian" WITHOUT ANY GENEALOGICAL EVIDENCE HAVING TO BE SUBMITTED BY THAT PERSON, TO SUBSTANTIATE those CLAIMS of those that SELF-IDENTIFY as "BEING ABENAKI", "NATIVE AMERICAN," OR "INDIAN."
Subsequently, the "JUMP" in the Federal Census Records for Vermont Counties, in those that SELF-IDENTIFIED as to their ALLEGEDLY BEING ABENAKIS/ INDIANS. The more people who claim to be Indians, per county, the MORE Federal Monies and Grants these Incorporations can possibly obtain, and the distorted "ILLUSION" of their representing "Abenaki Tribes" or "Abenaki Communities."

Exhibit 3
Summary of Indian Population in Vermont
as shown in Federal Census Reports
Notice that in Franklin County, Vermont in 1910 there are only 5 Native People's indicated. None in 1920. Only 3 in 1930. None in 1940 and 1950. One Indian in 1960, 9 Indians in 1970. Ten years later....in the 1980 Federal Census(after the group of people INCORPORATE in 1976 as the St. Francis/ Sokoki Abenaki - Abenaki Selp Help Association) all of a sudden in Franklin County, Vermont.....there are 422 alleged and reinvented "Abenaki Indians." In 1990, there are 584 self-identifying "Indians."
In other Vermont Counties, there is also the same dynamic of a seemingly increase in self-identifying "Indians" such as in Chittenden County, VT per the 1950-1960-1970-1980-1990 Federal Census. Notice that Arthur "Bill" William Seymore (including the Phillips Family) and other such families, etc come geographically FROM the Burlington, Chittenden County, Vermont area, BEFORE 1990.
