I am having problems with a Fee simple estate which my Father "supposedly" sold.
I would like to hear from anybody who is experiencing the same type of problem or who has researched the 'theft" of indian lands by fraudulent dealings.
You can contact me by either . leaving a message here, or by e-mail. My e-mail address is Billygumm@yahoo.com.
Perhaps we can set up a dialogue whereby we can exchange research material? Here's hoping.

I am working on signage for the Winnepesaukee Trail between Franklin and Tilton (New Hampshire) as part of a graduate school class. The "big idea" that we are presenting is that the river has been useful to people throughout history for varying activities. There is a site along the river known to have been inhabited by Abenaki prior to the invasion of Europeans. This sight has not been explored archaeologically to date. However, we want to place one of the signs at this site to explain the importance of the river to its original inhabitants. I am finding rather general information about the Abenaki and how they lived, but would welcome more site specific information. I am not looking for great volumes of information, just accurate, interesting and meaty information that will make the life of these ancient ones have meaning in the eyes of the modern reader.

Kuai Kuai (Greetings)Lori:
Somewhere in my research for Abenaki Warrior I have a map showing traditional Abenaki trails in NH and Vermont.
As I recall, the Winnipesaukee Trail you mention went in a NW direction to Lake Champlain which required a very long canoe portage (called The Long Walk) from a tributory in Vermont to Lake Champlain. From the NE corner of Champlain the trail continued overland to a French Mission Village called Odanak (I've visited there)on a tributary of the St. Lawrence River. This became the principal refuge for Abenaki Indians fleeing Colonial Scalp Hunting parties from 1724 to 1760.
The map and my research material are unfortunatly in my cabin on Escumbuit Island in NH, while I am wintering here in Loxahatchee, FL.
Ethno-historian, Doctor Sylvie Savoie in Canada contacted me to tell me that the Canadian Parks Dept together with verious Amerindian Groups held a year-long Commemoration of Chief Escumbuit,and she thought I might be interested to learn that Abenaki Warrior was their principal research source.
I have no Native roots, I am 85 years old, also published The Scalp Hunters which can be voewed at Amazon.com.
I am very excited by your current project. Please keep me posted.
