A Canadian tribe maintains that Vermont’s groups are not Indigenous and, instead, are appropriating their identity and culture. Research from leading scholars supports Odanak First Nation’s assertion, though the Vermont groups dispute it.

... I searched for available federal and state records, notably US census returns and State of Vermont vital records, for descendants of six of the most common ANM primary families ... these six primary families account for just over 60 percent of the ANM’s 2005 membership. I identified 165 of these six families living in Vermont in 104 separate census and vital records between the 1830 US census for Swanton and a 2007 State of Vermont death certificate (see Appendix 2). In every archival document, these individuals were only ever recorded as “White” (see Appendix 3). While descendants of these key ANM families were only ever recorded as white, Native American individuals were clearly recorded in every census in Vermont from 1860 to 1950, though none of them was related to the ANM’s main primary families ... 97.8 percent of their membership has no Abenaki ancestry.

Le projet couvrirait plus de 850 km², dont environ 340 km² en forêt vierge. Nature Québec appuie vigoureusement ce projet unique auquel le gouvernement du Québec devrait porter attention. Voici pourquoi.

Présents ici depuis plus de 5 000 ans, les Abénakis sont les premiers occupants du territoire élargi de Missisquoi. Pourtant, dans notre région, il est rarement question de leur présence et de leurs activités. Afin d’en savoir plus, je suis allé rencontrer Frederick M. Wiseman à Swanton, à 12 km au sud de la frontière de Philipsburg, le berceau de la communauté abénakie de Missisquoi.
