100 Grand Ave
Swanton, Vermont 054881
~
Our Nations' Tribal Flag

Prepared by the Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi, St. Francis-Sokoki Band

This application for recognition as a Native American tribe by the State of Vermont was prepared to fulfill the requirements stipulated in Vermont Statute 5.222. All information presented in this application is intended only for the Vermont Legislature, the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs and the three selected panelists and may not be copied, scanned or otherwise reproduced or disseminated without the specific written consent of the Missisquoi Tribal Council.
 
NOTE: DO THESE ALLEGED AND REINVENTED "ABENAKIS" CALLING THEMSELVES THE MISSISQUOI ST. FRANCIS/SOKOKI "ABENAKI" "BAND" OR "SOVEREIGN" "NATION" ASSUME THAT THESES DOCUMENTS ARE NOT A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD?

OF COURSE, THE APPLICATION REVIEW AND ALL OF THE CONTENTS ARE A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD. I INTEND TO SHOW ALL OF IT. EVERYTHING. THESE SO CALLED "ABENAKIS," WANT TO HIDE THEIR DECEITFULNESS, DISHONEST TACTICS, AND DECEPTIONS THROUGHOUT THE  RETROSPECTIVE YEARS INTO THE CONTEMPORARY TIME-FRAME, AND CONTINUE TO "HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT" SOME MORE.
WELL, LET'S SHED SOME LIGHT ON THEIR SO-CALLED CONFABULATION OF A "PETITION FOR VT STATE  "ABENAKI" "TRIBAL" "NATIVE" RECOGNITION" SHALL WE?

FIRST, LET'S LOOK AT THE FOUNDATION OF THEIR ALLEGED "NATION'S FLAG".....OR IS IT THEIR INSIGNIA/EMBLEM OR DID THE LATE HOMER STEAL THAT, JUST LIKE HIS DAUGHTER APRIL MERRILL ALLEGEDLY STOLE $30,697.49 USD from the 'late' (now deceased) Louis LaFrance (...not just "several thousand dollars" as previously reported in the Vermont Media, in their attempt to minimize her alleged criminal conduct/actions) one of her own ALLEGED "abenaki."

The ALLEGED and REINVENTED "Missisquoi" "St. Francis/Sokoki" "Abenaki" APPROPRIATED/STOLE the Design for their own purposes. "OUR NATION'S TRIBAL FLAG"?

Again, look at their "Nation's Flag" one more time:
Is this yet another example of this "Abenaki" Corporate Entity claiming to be an Abenaki Nation Tribe and or Band merely more evidence of a CULTURAL "IDENTITY THEFT" against legitimate Native Abenaki and other First Nation's People's, in the Province of Quebec, Canada?

I think it is pretty easy to figure out; the evidence is starring reader's in the face. The Abenaki Identity Theives (against the Abenaki Ancestors and their legitimate contemporary descendants living within Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island etc) now want to have State of Vermont and or New Hampshire Legislature Recognition sanction their deceitful, dishonest, deceptive words and actions against the Abenaki People's. All in the name of Political Correctness and GREED!

Tribal Headquarters in Swanton, VT
In order to comply with Vermont Statute 5.222 to prove we are a legitimate Native American band our leadership had to submit personal identity information such as the names and addresses of citizens on our tribal role and the submission of genealogies to prove our heritage, both of which are extremely confidential to the tribe. The misuse of these data by those who would contest our heritage and autonomy could cause much harm to Missisquoi citizens. It is with great remorse that such personal information had to be submitted with this application.
Page [01.]
§ 853 (c) (1) A majority of the applicant's members currently reside in a specific geographic location within Vermont.

The St. Francis/Sokoki band of the Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi consists of over twenty core families. There are 1,964 adults and 284 children on the Tribal Roles with 58% of the tribe living in Vermont. The greatest concentration of the applicant's citizens resides in the Towns of Swanton, St. Albans, Highgate and Alburg in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties, Vermont, but there are other Missisquoi citizens who live in every county of Vermont and in other states.

The address of the Missisquoi Tribal Headquarters is:

Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi St. Francis/Sokoki Band
100 Grand Avenue
P. O. Box 276
Swanton, VT 05488

§ 853 (c) (2) A substantial number of the applicant's members are related to each other by kinship and trace their ancestry to a kinship group through group through genealogy or other methods. Genealogical documents shall be limited to those that show a descendency from identified Vermont or regional native people.

Applicants who pass the necessary criteria are considered citizens of the Missisquoi Abenaki Nation and are not just members. There are many genealogical records housed at tribal headquarters that documents the ancestry of Missisquoi's citizens but they are too cumbersome to copy and provide to the panelists (see photos below). We therefore submit the genealogies of the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] families to the three panelists to satisfy this criterion but we Invite and encourage the panelists to visit tribal headquarters at 100 Grand Avenue in Swanton, Vermont to peruse through the other volumes if they wish.

Page [03.]
§ 853 (c) (3) The applicant: has a connection with Native American Indian tribes and bands that have historically inhabited Vermont.

During colonial settlement of what was to become Vermont, Missisquoi was a refuge village that willingly harbored many native peoples who were displaced from their homelands in, Massachusettsetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island. There are many historical references of raids staged from Missisquol that targeted Deerfield and other Massachusetts towns along the Connecticut River. The two major travel routes extended up Lake Champlain to either the Winooski River crossing over the watershed divide and then moving down the Waits or Wells River to the Connecticut River, or traveling up the Otter Creek to its headwaters and then Crossing over to the Black River and on to the Connecticut River at Springfield. The Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi St. Francis/Sokoki Band has formed partnerships with the Vermont based Koasek, Nulhegan and El Nu bands and the federally recognized Stockbridge-Munsee band of the Mohican Nation who now resides in Wisconsin but still retain ancestral homelands in Addison, Bennington and Rutland Counties, Vermont. Their support letters are provided below and the Mohican letter of support is pending Tribal Council action. The Missisquoi also have long-standing relationships with the federally recognized Narragansett, Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Gayhead Wampanoag (Aquinnah), Haudenosaunee, Mohegan, Mohican, Odanak and the Cree (support letters provided in Criterion § 853 (c) (9) B).

The Missisquoi Abenaki are also the repatriation authority designated by the National Park Service in accordance with the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) to properly recover, provide necessary blessings and reinter Native American burials that were housed in federally funded museums and other institutions or when Abenaki burials have inadvertently been unearthed because of development, road construction, river erosion or other destructive forces. The Missisquoi Abenaki have a strong partnership on this matter with the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, State Medical Examiner's Office and the University of Vermont.

To Whom It May Concern

We have worked hand in hand with the State of Vermont and the State of NH for many many years concerning day to day issues and preservation of our Nation and People. The Koasek of the Koas, Nulhegan Abenaki, El Nu and on top of the list Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi have all worked together and have recognized each other in our union of the Alliance. What else should be said!!?? We have all seen Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi as a leader of this movement since the 1970's and we have supported that movement and we have joined that movement in the Alliance. We have worked to in union to unite the entire state of Vermont first peoples and work in partnership with the state.
Now we come forward to fill out this ridiculous time consuming and costly application because a 23 year old child from California [Rep. Kesha Ram] insisted on it and it somehow got it through the state house. In her nonsense we are suppose to show we recognize each other. So here it is ...
The Koasek of the Koas Abenaki Nation Recognizes and Salutes our other Abenaki Alliance Nations Nulhegan, ELNU and Missisquoi!!

Thank you   Chief Nancy Millette Doucet
 
Now isn't this an INTERESTING RESPONSE from "Chief" Nancy (nee: Millette) Cruger-Lyons-Doucet towards this whole "Abenaki" Recognition Process and especially towards Rep. Kesha Ram of Burlington, VT.

How INTERESTING that Nancy Millette-Doucet would stand next to Rep. Kesha Ram, in January 2011, for "political photographic opportunity," and yet in March 2011 claim that Rep. Kesha Ram "is a 23 year old child from California," "that this Recognition Process (concocted by Sen. Hinda Miller, Sen. Vincent Illuzzi, and the Professor Dr. Frederick M. Wiseman Ph.D. right along with this confabulating VT Indigenous Alliance) is ridiculously time consuming and a costly application," complaining that "somehow this requirement got through the State House, and "that Rep. Kesha Ram's nonsense" caused the "Alliance" to have to show that they recognize each other."

Actually, the Dr. Fred Wiseman and his politicial/D.H.P. allies, along with the VT Indigenous Alliance, simpy recognize each other, slapping each other on the backsides, like a bunch of "Abenaki" Identity Thieves!
Fair Game

Battle for Recognition
At least three of Vermont's Native American tribes will seek state recognition from the legislature next "official" in hopes of boosting their chances of receiving a federal designation to sell handmade goods as official" Native American wares. The official stamp would also allow Vermont's American Indians to access federal education funds.
A bill designed to grant recognition to select tribes was nixed last year due to infighting between Abenaki and non-Abenaki, as well as disputes within the Abenaki community itself. Lawmakers took sides, too, in these generations-old battles. NO, the "VT Indigenous Alliance" people such as Bell, Mitchell, Stevens, Delaney, etc got appointed to the VCNAA and wanted to CONTROL the Commission, for their own Agenda and Purposes. When they could not do that, they resigned, and then bitched, whined and complained to the Legislative Representatives and the Governor's Office.
Rather than grant recognition, lawmakers established nine hoops, er, criteria a tribe must meet to be legit in the eyes of the legislature. It also called for all new appointments to the nine-member Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs. Of course, the "VT Indigenous Alliance" had to get rid of their paranoid and preceived threat of these REAL ABENAKIS [Jeanne Brink and Tim de la Bruere] [and also in the media, QUESTION Judy Dow's ethnicity]
Again, it was and has been all about CONTROL, POWER, and EGO.
The VCNAA, along with several outside scholars [B.S., these scholars were not independent or "outside" anything], has the task of reviewing each recognition request. If VCNAA gives the OK, requests are forwarded to the House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee for review. Whatever it recommends goes to a full-floor vote.
So far, three tribes have applied: Nulhegan, Koasek and Elnu. Their applications are under review and likely will be ready for a legislative vote this coming session, said VCNAA's new chairman, Luke Willard, the former chief of the Nulhegan Tribe in the Northeast Kingdom. Others tribes are still preparing applications, but those might not be ready in time for a vote in 2011.
Some Abenaki allies have taken the unusual step of asking House Speaker Shap Smith to ban one lawmaker in particular — Rep. Kesha Ram (D-Burlington) — from the review process. Why? The perception is that Ram played a key role in derailing last year's recognition effort at the 11th hour. Ram tells "Fair Game" she has no intention of stepping down from the House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee.
"I am hurt by the news of this letter, however, the Abenaki community is not monolithic," said Ram. "Focusing on the role of one legislator negates the thoughtful and complex engagement of our entire legislative body in passing laws that best serve our state."
A former VCNAA member believes the "new process" is stacked in favor of the Abenaki and the various tribes thought to be aligned with them.
"The current commission does not represent a broad spectrum of native peoples in the state of Vermont," notes former VCNAA commissioner Brad Barrett. "It was not supposed to be slanted toward the 'alliance' tribes, and now it is."
Willard hopes to smooth out past problems by proving the commission can work with all tribes and break free of past squabbles.
"I'm not interested in getting involved in a long, drawn-out process," said Willard. "This review process was set up to avoid that."

The "Vermont Indigenous Alliance" whose Coordinator has been and is, Dr. Frederick Matthew Wiseman, Ph.D., along with Mr. Donald Warren Stevens, Jr. ... and Nancy (Millette) Doucet wanted to REMOVE Rep. Kesha Ram, not because she was allegedly someone who supposedly nixed their gaining State of Vermont "Abenaki" Recognition from the Legisluture, but rather, she became a THREAT to their manipulations, deceitfulness, and dishonest tactics, in their efforts to gain INSTANT SHAKE AND BAKE "ABENAKI" status from the naive Legislative Representatives! So of course, there was, and continues to be an effort to silence anyone, including Rep. Kesha Ram, by this concocted "VT Indigenous Alliance" through the maligning and smearing her (and anyone else) across their alleged "Abenaki Landscape"!

To whom it may concern:

Kwai, as Sagamo of the Elnu Abenaki. I am writing this letter of support for our brothers and sisters of the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi, Koasek of Koas, and the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe.

We have all been working together as members of The Vermont Indigenous Alliance helping each other on many fronts, such as State Recognition , working with the State of Vermont, and the City of Burlington on projects to do with the Quadricentennial and Indigenous Celebration. Or just showing up and doing what we can to help at each others powwows or gatherings. The list can go on, but I will stop here.

In closing, YES the Elnu Abenaki Tribe and I, do support and recognize our relatives of the Missisquoi, Koasek of Koas and the Nulhegans as Abenaki Tribes of Vermont.

Respectfully,

Subject: Support for Recognition

Dear Commission and Review Committee,

Abenaki people have inhabited Vermont and the surrounding areas long before euro-Americans ever set foot on N'Dakinna. We are as much a part of the Vermont landscape as were our ancestors who came before us. It is sad that I have to write this letter of support for something that should just be accepted as common place. We are the only race of people that has to prove who we are; we are not allowed to self-identify as everyone else.

You have a very important task in front of you. I ask that you see the rich history and value that our Vermont indigenous people bring to this beautiful State and communities in which we live. We are your friends and neighbors. The time has come for the State of Vermont to give Lis the recognition that our people truly deserve so we can move forward.

The Abenaki tribes in Vermont continue to work together to improve the lives of our tribal citizens and educate the public. I support them in their applications for recognition as an Indian tribe by the State of Vermont. I have personally worked closely with the following Abenaki tribes for many years now and recognize each one as a legitimate tribal entity and their territories.

Woman of the Dawnland

The 108 Winters of
An Abenaki Healing Woman
Inside Jacket of Book
History books tell almost nothing about the "People of the Dawnland," but that does not mean they never were. Aunt Sarah was one of these and she was also a basket maker and a healing woman who lived to see 108 winters. She was a St. Francis Abenaki, gentle and proud. Her hands always smelled of sweetgrass and they reached out to help and heal many human and animal friends along the good trail that she walked.
"If the White race ever learns what is clean and what is dirty, many of their dreaded diseases will disappear," said Aunt Sarah. "Close to the sickness lies the source and also lies the cure," the old one's claimed, and she knew that this was true. She also knew and respected the earth whom she called her mother, the earth whom she called her mother, and she said, "The White Man will learn and stop his pollution or else he will die in his own filth, of his own volition, but the lilacs and the birds will also die and they have no choice."
Aunt Sarah was born in a wigwam, the daughter of an Indian Chief and as a young woman she and her family cross this land in wooden wagons with the circus. Once, she stared a cougar down and in the eighth month of her pregnancy, she fought off a pack of wolves, armed only with a garden hoe, but her faith in the Great Spirit was strong and enduring.
Come take a walk with me to "The Place Where the Sweetgrass Grows," as we follow Aunt Sarah's moccasin tracks through the more than 100 winters of one who saw triumph and tragedy, many smiles and many years along the path. And, who with her whole being loved the earth and a man called John, there in the heart of the Dawnland.
Trudy Ann (nee: Call) Parker is in the middle of her second stint as Town Clerk of Lunenburg, Vermont. She is also the only woman to serve as Selectman in that little hamlet where Aunt Sarah lived and died. Aunt Sarah's father was an Indian Chief and he was also Trudy Ann's Great-Great Grandfather.
Proud to be of Aunt Sarah's blood, Trudy Ann contracts for Teacher Workshops, Educational Seminars, and in addition, does many speaking engagments for genealgoical, historical and other groups, telling about the culture and heritage of the Western Abenaki.
She is a history buff, who plays a guitar and lives in a log cabin on a road with no name with her husband Don, and a lazy cat, and a dog called Munchkin.
Is she going to write again? You bed she is; the next book will be all about Log Driving in the Connecticut River Valley.

Dear Tony,
Enclosed is a copy of my book, Aunt Sarah Woman of the Dawnland for your preusal.
Someone brought this work to the attention of one Lyn Jarvis, who called my office and suggested that I send you a copy. Mr. Jarvis thought you might be interested in this book as a possible subject matter for one of your talks with Vermont Authors on your show.

In the 1980's Aunt Sarah was selected as one of the "Most Spirited Women in Vermont," by Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.

I am of Aunt Sarah's blood, and her story is part of my own. Whatever you decide, I will tell you what I tell my audience, you will laugh and cry, but more important than anything else-----you will learn.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Trudy Parker

So, Trudy Ann (Call) Parker was promoting her self-published book and promoting herself in the process. Who does this sound similar to?

That's right ... Nancy (nee: Millette) Cruger - Lyons - Doucet? Yes, I think so. REMEMBER: Trudy Ann (Call) Parker and her husband Donald Howard Parker, did IN FACT set up selling her book at the July 17th, 1994 Remich Park, Littleton, NH Weekend Pow-Wow that Nancy herself orchestrated with the help of Jesse James Laroque, Homer St. Francis Sr. and Walter Watso, etc. It was not just a one time promotion of Trudy Ann (Call) Parker nor her first book "Aunt Sarah" either, by Nancy (Millette) Doucet.

Nancy (nee: Millette) Cruger-Lyons-Doucet's retrospective online inquiry posting about Susan Sherwood (nee: Ingerson) Archer - Fowles? - Wilson - Richey on "Olidahozi" Yahoo Message Board (Jeanne Lincoln-Kent's site)

Also Jeanne [Lincoln-Kent] if you have any records that show a name of some of the Abenaki in the traveling shows I am looking for information on my Great Grandmother's Flora Una Ana Eunice Ingerson - Hunt sister Susan Sherwood Ingerson - Archer - Fowles? - Wilson - Richey. I know she traveled with a show. She grew up near "Aunt Sarah" Jackson - Somers. I have also contacted Trudy [nee: Call - Parker] to look too. Her name was Susan Sherwood Ingerson. Thank you Nancy

So now one can review that there was a "working relationship" that developed from summer of 1994 onward, consistently wherein Trudy Parker was at Nancy (Millette) Doucet's retrospective Pow-Wow Events both in Littleton, Twin Mountain, and probably also in Lancaster, NH including elsewhere over the years. Each woman, a promoter of either Pow-Wow's and or books. More importantly, these two women were "riding each other's coat tails....promoting themselves. Both women are connected merely to a corporate entity that was established in 2006 and promoted by Nancy (Millette) Doucet. Through her "followers" (such as Trudy Parker of Lunenburg, Vermont, Card Holding Member #642) Nancy Millette-Doucet attempts to legimate herself and her Indian-ness, to my thinking.
Why was Nancy (Millette) Doucet inquirying about her Great Grandmother's sister Susan Sherwood (nee: Ingerson) being in a Circus/Traveling Show? REMEMBER: Nancy did this tactic with Newton Washburn of Bethlehem, NH; again, with the Jefferson Archaeological site; and yet again, with the Yamachiche "Indian Village" business. Anything to attempt, in her insecurity, to try and prove she's a real "Native American." I do not see a Native person who happens to have a distant "White" ancestor so desperate to prove that they are real "White" "Caucasian" (Caucasoid, Europoid or Europid).

NOTICE: That on this particular page NO WHERE does it indicate that George William Ingerson nor his 1st wife Almira (nee: Rines) Ingerson NOR their children were "Abenaki" "Abenakis" "Indian" "Indien" "Le Sauvage" "Colored" "Dark" "Black" or the like.
ALSO NOTICE: That for #613 v. Flora Eunice Ingerson DOES NOT indicate whatsoever that her middle name was "Una Ana" as Flora's descendant Nancy (Millette) Cruger stated in 1994 onwards in the Pow-Wow materials. Nor does it indicate that Flora was "born on some riverbank" either.
The document does however, indicate that Susan, Flora's older sister (this is suggested/indicated by way of the order of these children listed in this book on Page 104), had "travelled with a show company." YET, this DOES NOT indicate whatsoever that Susan, her siblings, nor her parents were identifying as or identified externally by others, as being "Abenakis" or "Indians".

Yet, it is VERY CLEAR that Nancy (Millette) Doucet has IN FACT, DOCUMENTARILY jumped from one ancestry to another, in her attempts to IMPLY that she is of Abenaki descent.
First, it was "My Great Grandmother Flora Una Ana Ingerson - Hunt was born on a riverbank" etc.
Second, she throws her ancestor Flora "Una Ana" to the wayside, (when her lies and distortions were and have been confronted by her cousin Rhonda Lou (nee: Besaw-True and of course, openly I have confronted Nancy about these created "distortions" that Nancy has repeatedly promoted and cultivated like her Pow-Wow events, and herself) she begins to weave the "story" about her alleged connection(s) to Yamachiche, Quebec, Canada.

For Immediate Release

March 22nd, 2007
North Meets South at Nawihla!
Written by Nancy (nee: Millette) Lyons
The Koasek Abenaki Nation will host it’s first Native American Festival and Pow Wow on June 2 and 3, 2007 at the Woodsville Community Field, Woodsville, NH. The schedule includes over 30 arts and crafts venders, four drum groups, December Wind Native Folk Rock Band on Saturday night and a special guest performance each day featuring the Aztec Dancers from Mexico. A detailed time schedule will be available to the public in advance of the Pow wow.
The Luis Salinas and family Aztec dancers have performed all over the United States. They will do many dances and explain their culture and what the dances mean before each performance. The most exciting part of the show will be when they invite the public in the circle to dance with them on some occasions. They will end their performances with a traditional Fire Dance; one of the most outstanding Aztec dances.
The Native American Pow wow has been named Nawihla which in Abenaki means “ I am returning home”. Haverhill and Newbury meadows have historically been the center of commerce for the Koasek Abenaki until the contact era. Back in historic times many other tribal nations would come to the meadows to trade with Abenaki by way of the Long River ( the Connecticut River). Nawihla will be a huge celebration welcoming the Abenaki and other Native People back home. It is especially an honor for Chief Nancy Lyons to return home with her people. Chief Lyons was born and raised in Haverhill and went to Haverhill Academy and Woodsville High School.
To bring back a glimpse of what life was like for the Abenaki in the meadows the El Nu Abenaki Tribe will set up a historic village complete with blanket trading and craft making demonstrations through out the weekend. The public will be welcome to visit the village and ask questions and even purchase some of the hand tooled items on the trade blankets.
Nawihla organizers have been working in partnership with other area business for the Native American event. Haverhill Alumni Hall will host a lecture with Trudy Ann Parker on May 30th. Trudy Ann Parker (Abenaki) is the author of Aunt Sarah, Woman of the Dawnland and Big Snow Little Snow. Aunt Sarah is a book about Trudy’s Aunt who lived to be 108 winters. Big Snow Little Snow is based on the logging day of the Connecticut River. On May 31st Joseph Firecrow, Northern Cheyenne Granny Nominee will perform a music concert at Alumni Hall.
Chief Nancy Lyons will be working with area schools on the possibility of featuring Fred Wiseman and his DVD Against the Darkness to area schools prior to the pow wow weekend. Against the Darkness gathers together, for the first time, an impressive array of genealogical information, historic objects, documents and photographs to refute this cleansing of Northeastern indigenous history. [Oh, really? Then why was it that "Professor" Fred Wiseman Ph.D' video was so piss-poor and "shot down" by the Bureau of Indian Affairs/ Office of Federal Acknowledgment? Hmmm, I'll post more about that Against the Darkness video etc shortly]
Using live action and voiceover by young alleged and re-invented Abenaki actors and the stirring music of songwriter Peter Buffett, this digital video inspires as well as informs.
The video footage has been carefully screened by over 100 American and Canadian Abenakis of all ages. Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Wendat, Mohawk, Narragansett, Wampanoag, Pequot, Mahican and Euroamerican elders, scholars and filmmakers provided an "external" Native perspective. Their sage advice has been incorporated into the Against the Darkness System.
The events listed above have been sponsored by the Town of Haverhill, Nootka Lodge, Woodsville Guaranty Bank and Koasek Tribal Nation.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am a descendent of the Millette family of "Petit Village de la Riviere-du-Loup" of Yamachiche. I have never been there only through the stories of my grandfather. He, as well as all Millette's behind him are from Yamachiche area.
The things I was told about "Petit Village de la Riviere-du-Loup" of Yamachiche;
That the large family of 16 children lived in a small house at Petit Village. They were very poor and slept in cots above each other. The floor of the house was dirt and in the winter the snow would come into the bedroom at night. The boys would awake in the morning and look at tracks in the floor to see what came through visiting while they were sleeping.
My Grandfather's brother would go out hunting each day for food for the family. He would leave each morning with his gun and one bullet. Ile would return each night with game. Sometimes, with as many as five rabbits but every time with his gun and one bullet. This puzzled the younger boys. The couldn't figure out how he got game and still had his bullet. So one day the boys followed him and finally found out the secret was he used snares!
My Grandfather moved to New Hampshire in the States and after he moved, got married and had children he was very poor. One of his brother's back at Petit Village de la Riviere-du-Loup" of Yamachiche worked in a mill and would send money or gifts for the kids for Christmas. My Grandfather always wanted to go home to visit so one time he got a babysitter so he and my Grandmother could go to home to Petit Village to visit. When he got to the border they told him he could go in but he could never go back to the States. I am not sure why. But he had children back in New Hampshire so he never got to go home again. I am looking forward to going "home" and visiting in my Grandfather's honor.
My Great Grandfather Christopher Millette came to New Hampshire after my Grandfather moved there. He was very upset about something that happened to his land and home at Petit Village de la Riviere-du-Loup" of Yamachiche. He got a lawyer and was trying to file a suite against Canada. I am not sure all the details but hopefully someday will find the records. I know he said Canada took his land while he was gone and he wanted it back.
When in the States my Grandfather was picked on for his accent and was often called "dumb Frenchmen" by drinking buddies which made him very mad! My Great Grandfather was a small man and one night a very large man called him "a dumb Frenchman" and my Great Grandfather jumped up and hit the guy so hard he broke the guys nose and said " I ain't NO Frenchman! !" He always said he was Indian.

In the summer of 2003 I stayed for three days at Odanak Reservation Canada with two elderly residents the Msadoques sisters who were in their late 80's. I told them that my family was aboriginal from Yamachiche and asked if they knew anything of Petit Village de la Riviere-du-Loup" of Yamachiche.

This is the story they told me:
" Oh Yamachiche!! It is way out there in the bush. Very isolated. The women in that tribe would walk to neighboring villages and pick out a nice handsome man to bring home with them. Once the woman was with child they would give the man the boot!! They made sure the aboriginal children were not fathered by family. AND 1 always wished I was Yamachiche!!"
Chief Walter Watso told me in early 1990's that was Petit Village de la Riviere-du Loup" of Yamachiche as way out in the bush. No one would even go hunting out there without an Indian Guide. He said all the people at the village of Yamachiche were Aboriginal and their own tribe.
Notarization
Confirmation of Notarization
Nancy (nee: Millette) Cruger-Lyons (now married to Mark E. Doucet, took this two page write-up and had it notarized by the Randolph, Vermont Town Clerk.


Then, later, when I was seeking validation for her "Abenaki-ness" Nancy's group (Raymond Lussier whom I call "Palm Reading Lussier" so as to differentiate between the late Raymond "Looking Glass" Lussier of Attleboro, MA and this comtemporary person with the same name; Paul Bunnelll; Brian Chenevert; Karen Majka a.k.a. Karen Mica; Howard Knight Jr. and Suzette LeClair etc etc) it was Paul Bunnell who was directed by Nancy Millette, to try and discredit the genealogical work I had done pertaining to Nancy Millette herself, that I posted online in genealogical forums. She also sent "Palm Reading" Lussier after me by email(s), with his stupid arrogantly written "Tribal Judge" communications of egotistical nonsense.

When the genealogical research was confirmed by Suzette LeClair and Paul Bunnell of the then group led by Nancy Millette Cruger Lyons Doucet, she "went after" Paul Bunnell. Of course, one cannot deny one's ancestry. She was not a Yamachiche "Native" descendant whatsoever. DNA can be "lifted" from someone else and appropriated to another person.

On Friday March 20, 2009 and Saturday March 21, 2009 National Geographic DNA testing will be taking place at the North Haverhill Town Office Building. On Saturday March 21, 2009 Trudy Ann Parker author of Aunt Sarah and Fred Wiseman author of several books about the Abenaki will have a book signing for those interested. Fred Wiseman will also show his film “Against the Darkness” at 3 PM and give a talk. All is free and open to the public.

My DNA came in from National Genographic. I am very much Native American and if I hear anymore bullshit I will be proving in court defamation of character and proof in front of a judge! I am sick of the bullshit from Salmon Douglas Lloyd Buchholz, Paul Bunnell Paul Wilson Pouliot and Ray "Palm Reading" Lussier. Now I have blood and bone results they better be careful about what they have to say about me or they will see my records up close while sitting on stand in front of a jury!!
talk later...nancy [Nancy L. nee: Millette] Doucet

I would kindly like to see verbatim and convincingly, the evidence documentarily, that Mrs. Nancy (Millette) Doucet can allegedly substantiate her Indian-istic D.N.A. and I want to see that such D.N.A. grants her magically, validation to the Abenaki language, the Abenaki Culture, the viably continuous-cohesive-externally observable Abenaki COMMUNITY connection(s) that she professes this D.N.A. has given her.
Corporate Entities such as the 2006 created
 "White Pine Association"
Incorporated in NH and VT
doesn't count as
CONNECTION
to the Abenaki Ancestors!

Neither does having Trudy (nee: Call) Parker of Lunenburg, VT getting her "green card" (Membership Card) in the "Koasek of the Koas" from Nancy Doucet, make the illusion (or delusions) by Nancy (Millette) Doucet's group a legitmate "Abenaki" "Tribe" whatsoever.
