The mission of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation is to strengthen our government; to build our community, and ensure sustainability; to protect our customs and traditions; and to revive our culture and celebrate our heritage while sharing it with those around us. N'dakinna (our homeland) is nestled among the lakes, rivers, and forests of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Our connection to this land cannot be described in any language. It is our birthright and obligation to advocate for our ancestral territory so that its uniqueness and beauty will be protected for the generations to come.

The School Board for the town of Holland recently voted to lease Holland School to the Nulhegan Band. Holland School was closed and has been vacant for quite some time. The Nulhegan Band has grown to a point where it now needs more space to conduct business, provide community education, and provide a space for the band to gather.
Miss Lucy Cannon-Neel is the Title VI Coordinator for Nulhegan covering North Country Supervisory Union, and Orleans Central Supervisory Union. She is responsible for setting up the leasing of the school building and will be conducting the Title VI Indian Education Program from this location.
When the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the school will also house a cultural center and library. The goal is for it to be community based to allow the public to learn about Abenaki culture.
Consideration is also being given to the current, unused early childhood program space into a day care. Because the space has already been established and approved, the transition will be smooth.
