Louie died in 1847 per West Stewartstown, Coos County, New Hampshire Town records.
But what happened to his descendants? Did he have siblings, aunts, uncles, etc? Where did they go?
Many varied books have been written citing Louie Metallic and Chief Philippe; yet there has always been more-to-the-history of Louie Metallic and Chief Philippe than what meets the pages of any book.

If anyone has a right, title, and interest in that ca. 1796 Land Deed of Chief Philip, and Louie Metallic, it isn't the Nulhegan "tribe" in Orleans County, Vermont that was spawned by deception and deceit by the likes of Luke Andrew Willard nor Nancy Lee Alice (nee: Côté) Rolls whose daughter Dawn Marie (nee: Dague) Macie claimed that the little roof over her mother's maiden name (she was told) "was a wigwam, therefore she and they were Indians."
Ralph Swett's version of events
Nulhegan Groups Application for VT State Recognition
The Nulhegan group were born out of the Clan of the Hawk organization of Indian Pretenders and led by Ralph Skinner Swett. This Clan of the Hawk began in April 1993. This 'Clan of the Hawk' was created like all the others in Vermont.
September 24, 2004 Article Part 1
September 24, 2004 Article Part 2
"This group, calling them the Nulhegan band of the Coosuk Abenakis, originally were part of the group that meets at Evansville, under the leadership of Ralph Swett. They left to form their own group."
"They base their request for recognition on family genealogies that go back many generations of Abenaki-descended people who have lived in the Nulhegan watershed area. One of the few land sale records from or to Abenakis is a 200 year old sale of land by an Abenaki named Philip, who sold [illegally] about 300 square miles of territory in the northern Connecticut River eastern
Memphrémagog basis area. Philip's band were called "Cowasuk" or "Coosuk" Abenakis," their name deriving from the Abenaki word "Coos," or "Cowas," meaning that they were the 'people who live among the pine trees.'
This group is hoping that their petition will be the one that finally allows at least some Vermont Abenakis to be acknowledged as Vermont's original people."

Louie Metallic's son Pierre married to the daughter of Chief Philippe
Clearly, IF Louis Metallic who died in 1847 in West Stewartstown, N.H. was the son of Chief Philippe (Philips) then WHY would his son Pierre Metallic married to his alleged father's daughter?!
Chief Philip and Metallic Comparatives
Doing the EVALUATION GENEALOGICALLY, ONE CAN 'SEE' and REVIEW the Reality and TRUTH vs. the Beliefs and Perceptions regarding the Antoine Phillips Sr. descendants, the Metallic (Metallak) descendants and the Philippe descendant.
According to this Colbrook Cronicle Newspaper article of Jan. 06, 2017 in retrospect reprinting of a March 30, 1898 Coos County Democrat Newspaper ...
Metallak, the last survivor?
Metallic (Metallak) descendants, for the most part, end up in Listuguj (also spelled as Restigouche).
Chief Philippe descendants through Jean Baptiste (Abenaquis) Philippe, up into Mashteuiatsh (Pointe-Bleue), Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec, Canada geographical area.
Jean Baptiste Philippe's christening was January 04, 1795 in Beauceville (St-François-de-Beauce), Robert-Cliche, Québec, Canada.
The last survivor of what ... Colonization? Genocide? Really? Because REALITY and TRUTH shows a different dynamic. Willie Dunn IS a descendant of Louie Mattallak/ Metallic.

Oh Jeesh, LOOK AT all the LIVING DESCENDANTS of Louie Metallic !!

Guess the MYTH based on belief and perception of the Colonized Mind was wrong about Louie Metallic being the LAST of his Race eh boys and girls? !!

Hi Douglas,
"My great-great grandfather was an Abenaki, Antoine Dellipe Phillips [Philippe], who came from the Montenay Reserve at Lac St. John (headwaters of the Saguenay River). He married Catherine Cadavier [Coder/Coderre, had several children (my line), and later remarried upon her death. My great grandmother was Julie Phillips. She married Andre Bessette and lived in Adamsville, Canada when my grandmother was born in 1881 (Julia Helene Bessette)."

From: John R. Walusiak
Hi Douglas,
"I went over some of my old notes and found a remnant of a phone conversation
that I had with Christopher Roy in the Fall of 1996 that worked at the Swanton, VT Abenaki Self-Help Assocation, Inc.'s Abenaki Research Project with Carol Nan (Abénaqui-Huron Indien-French-Polish-Lithuanian) Gromatski A.K.A. Carol Nepton . He was working in the Archive
Office but I don't know his official title.
My relatives had all registered with the tribe by this time and my admission was
but a perfunctory matter.
As regards my phone conversation with Chris, my hand written recording was
accomplished with phonetic spelling. My notes read:
I was descended from Antoine Dellippe Phillips (an Abenaki) and
Catherine Cadavier (a French woman).
One of their sons was named Peter and he was twice married. I do not
know which one was his first wife but I'll list them in the order that I wrote them.
Adeline Bone is my first listed wife And then Elise Way. (Again, don't trust my spelling.)
Antoine Dellipe Phillips hailed from Lac St. John at the headwaters of the Saguenay river
near the Montenay Reserve.
This information was obtained after returning from an Abenaki Pow-Wow in East
Montpelier, VT in the same year (1996) I believe. I called the tribal office at
802-868-2559 and they referred me to Chris Roy at 802-868-3427. Both numbers may
not currently be in service but I have not checked them."
Now WHY would Christopher Roy working for the Abenaki Research Project TRY and IMPLY that Antoine Philips and Catherine Emery dite Coderre married up in Lac St. Jean, Saguenay River, near the Montenay Reserve?
The answer lies in Christopher Roy's fellow worker in the so-called 'Abenaki Research Project', Carol Nan (nee: Gromatski) Mottor, a member of the St. Francis-Sokoki 'Homer' group.
Looking at her mother's Obituary:
April 11, 2005

She moved to Pittsfield in 1941, residing on Doreen Street, and to Orange in 1966, later returning to Pittsfield.
She and her husband, Edward Gromatski, owned and operated Orange Stationery and Gifts in Orange for a number of years. Previously, she had been an employee trainer at the former Neisner Bros.

She was known for her carrot cake.
She and her husband celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary April 5. They were married in Holy Trinity Church in Greenfield.
Besides her husband, she leaves a son, Edward Gromatski of Ocala, Fla.; two daughters, Arline "Peachy" Jacquot of St. Pete Beach, Fla., and Carol Nepton of Berkshire, Vt.; a brother, Tyler Nash of Pittsfield; a sister, Juliette Reynolds of Middletown, R.I.; eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Associate Professor
Ph.D., Anthropology, University of Massachusetts
M.A., Applied Anthropology, Northern Arizona University
B. A., Anthropology, Franklin Pierce College
Carol N. Neptôn earned a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, a MA from Northern Arizona University and a BA from Franklin Pierce (then College) in Rindge, New Hampshire. She has taught at universities and colleges in Wisconsin, Vermont and New Hampshire. Areas of specialization include North American Indians, Medical Anthropology and culture change. She was the Campus Dean of NAES College on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin, a baccalaureate program serving American Indians in urban and reservation locations.
Dr. Neptôn is an enrolled member of the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi, centered in northern Vermont. She was recruited from Wisconsin to become their Federal Acknowledgement Officer and Director of Research. She worked closely with the state and federal governments and directed Missisquoi River Keepers and supervised other environmental initiatives. She was appointed to two terms as a Commissioner on the Vermont Governor’s Commission for Native Americans. Her interdisciplinary consultant research projects included education, health-care delivery, cultural competency training for foster parents, genetics and ethics, archaeology including paleo-pathology and repatriation of native remains.
Carol Nan (nee: Gromatski)'s Genealogical Mapping
Carol KNEW that there were a bunch of Phillips (Philippe) Abenaki members of Pointe Bleue, Mashteuiatsh, Lac Ste. Jean, Quebec, Canada area. So she too pinned Antoine and Catherine to that geographical area, without any substantiating evidence whatsoever, and Christopher Roy then relayed that distortion/ belief and perception on the Phillips descendant, John Walusiak, and probably other Phillips descendants as well.
And if such were the reality and truth about Antoine Philips and his wife Catherine Émery dit Codèrre ... then WHY wasn't this documented with valid documentary evidence to support that assertion within the Petition for Federal Recognition or even Vermont State Recognition about this Philips couple?
SO ... it was Carol Nan (nee: Gromatski) Mottor who TOOK her mother's mother's maiden name of Nepton, to make herself appear more "Indian" ... then in 1995-6 she joined up with Swanton, Vermont's St. Francis-Sokoki group as a BIA Liaison regarding the Petition for Federal Recognition, along with Christopher Roy, working in the so-called Abenaki Research Project. Even her own mother got a membership card in the Swanton group. But their Nepton ancestors were NEVER in Vermont let along the St. Francis-Sokoki group historically. It was merely a decision on Carol's part to join such organization/ group of "Abenaki" to make the BIA Petition "look" a tiny bit better on the surface, than what it really was, which was pathetic at its core.

Joseph Samuel Philippe Jr. from Pointe Bleue, an Indian, son of Joseph Philippe ... and Jr. is going to work for the St. Regis Paper Company in West Stewartstown, Coos County, New Hampshire in March 1949!
Returning to his ancestral lands !!!
(I have more documents regarding the Philippe ancestors as well as the Metallic lineage, should anyone like to inquire.
Donald Warren Stevens Jr. doesn't connect to the June 1796 Land Deed wherein Chief Philippe was the Grantor ... along with those other aln8bak signers. Nor is the Nulhegan group whatsoever.
The Metallic's of Listuguj (etc) and Philippe's of Mashteuiatsh (Pointe-Bleue), Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec, Canada (etc) ALL OF THEIR DESCENDANTS are the inheritors of this Land Deed ...
NOT the Vermont Phillips Family that originated out of Franklin County, Vermont ca. 1791-1792 that Don Stevens Jr. descends from! Part and parcel of an dynamic of Abenaki Identity THIEVES' ... an Abenaki Culture Vultures.

Donald Warren Stevens Jr. peddles in beliefs and perceptions ... not truths and reality, nor even validated / vetted documentation. He operates like Homer and April and Fred because that's where he originally came from as a member of the St. Francis - Sokoki group.
NOW you readers ought to understand that there IS a difference between what these Vermont "Abenaki" groups are peddling and "pushing" with their beliefs and perceptions vs. the reality and the truth of their ancestors.
"We KNOW who we are" these Vermont sanctioned "Abenakis"/ "Indians" loudly proclaim.
But do they really know who their ancestors were? Because the 'narratives' they've been perpetuating to the naive public of Vermont and New Hampshire etc (for example the Bruchac stories about Bowman ancestor being an paternal O'bomsawin etc) just are not lining up with the truth and reality of the genealogical and genetic realities, when doing this research!
These Vermont "Chiefs" are full of beliefs and perceptions. NOT truths and reality.
THEY LIE
THEY APPROPRIATE
THEY STEAL
THEY DECEIVE
Even about their own Phillips ancestors, to their own ancestor's Phillips descendants:
