Abenakis laugh at notion of a hearing
RANDOLPH The dispute over Abenaki tribal status heats Gov. Richard Snelling who refused to bow to pressure from sportsmen when he rescinded a prior tribal recognition. He announced a public hearing set for April 6 in Swanton to verify who qualifies as Abenakis, the council’s powers, and land claims along the Missisquoi River. Kent Ouimette mocked the need to prove blood quantum, saying even federal agencies lack a full list of Abenaki names and addresses.
