Abenaki people

The Abenaki are a Native American people traditionally residing in the northeastern region of North America, including parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Quebec. They are part of the larger Algonquian language and cultural family, with a rich history of hunting, fishing, and seasonal planting. Historically, they lived in small villages and relied on natural resources for survival. Today, many Abenaki continue to preserve their cultural heritage, language, and traditions, advocating for recognition and the rights of Indigenous peoples. Their history reflects resilience and a deep connection to their ancestral lands.
