Elnu Abenaki Tribe

These Essays on Abenaki History and Culture were written by Abenaki scholars, living historians, and culture bearers over a period of more than ten years.  They were written for a variety of purposes: publication in newsletters or newspapers, as handouts for educational programs, in response to comments made on Historical online forums, as part of the College Admission process. They appear in chronological order. We will add more as they become available.
