What is nulhegan abenaki?

The Nulhegan Abenaki is a tribe of the Abenaki people native to the Northeastern parts of the United States, and it is based in northern Vermont and New Hampshire. The tribe has a long history that predates European contact, and historically, they were known for their skill in hunting, fishing, and farming. In the early 17th century, the tribe interacted with early French explorers and colonizers, which led to cultural exchange and the adoption of some European technologies.

In the 21st century, the Nulhegan Abenaki is recognized as a sovereign nation by Vermont and the United States government. They have faced several challenges in terms of government recognition and cultural preservation, including loss of their ancestral lands and suppression of their culture in the past. Currently, the tribe is actively engaged in the preservation and revival of their language, culture, and traditions through community events, education, and activism.
