It has been a decade since the Vermont’s government recognized four groups of Vermonters as Native American tribes – a decision made in a political process from which the Abenkaki of Odanak First Nation was largely excluded.

On this tenth anniversary of state recognition, the University of Vermont welcomes the Abenaki of Odanak and their New England relatives to share their historical perspective on land they consider to be their unceded territory in and adjacent to the Green Mountain State: a homeland known as Ndakina.

The event is free and open to all and can be attended in-person or remotely.
