Native American Tribes series.
Abenaki - Pronounced OBB-uh-nah-kee, the name means "people of the dawn." The Abenaki people were native New Englanders for thousands of years. As members of the Wabanaki Confederacy that controlled much of New England and the Canadian Maritimes, the Abenakis themselves are original natives of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. After European colonists came here, many Abenakis fled to Canada or moved in with neighboring tribes. Today, Abenaki Indians live on two reservations in Quebec and are scattered around New England. Not officially recognized in the United States, they do not have a reservation in the U.S. nor Native American rights afforded to other Indians, even though it was there original home.
