Native America Calling - Monday, November 10, 2025 – Vermont tribes defend their identity against scrutiny from across the Canadian border

Vermont’s four Abenaki bands face ongoing pushback as they work to assert their Native American identity. With state recognition, the tribes enjoy certain hunting and fishing rights and the ability to list artwork as Native made. The Odanak First Nation in Canada is speaking out on social media and at press conferences, public events, and even at the United Nations, saying the people in Vermont claiming Abenaki blood have no connection to the Abenaki name and are only exploiting a legitimate and respected culture. It’s one of the remaining battlegrounds in the often-contentious discussions over identity.

GUESTS

Chief Rick O’Bomsawin (Odanak First Nation), Chief of the Abenaki Council of Odanak

Chief Don Stevens (Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation)

Margaret Bruchac (Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation), professor emerita of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania
