Elnu is an Abenaki Tribe based in Southern Vermont.  We work to continue our cultural heritage through historical research, lectures and school programs, oral storytelling, singing, dancing and traditional craft making.  Our primary focus is ensuring that our traditions carry on to our children.  We are traditionalists trying to maintain our culture in a modern society.  Learning from the past creates a better future for all.

*The Elnu Abenaki Tribe is recognized by the State of Vermont as a Native American Tribe (Refer to Sec 1.1 V.S.A.§ 853a).
