The Abenaki Trails Project

The  goal of this project is to visibly honor and share a more inclusive  history of the Abenaki people, to highlight historical Abenaki sites and  to accentuate the positive influences we have had with Colonial America  and the towns we continue to live in today.

We  will be working with each town and each town’s historical society  independently to highlight sites in their town and to erect and or  install monuments and/or signage to educate visitors about the Abenaki  people and their influence on the area.

The  project will kick off in Contookcook/Hopkinton, NH and will be working  with some of the best people in the fields of archaeology, anthropology  and historical societies.  From there we will continue to work with  various other towns to install similar educational sites promoting  awareness and appreciation of Abenaki History.  These sites will form an  Abenaki Trail which people can travel from town to town learning about  our great history and the impact we continue to have on communities  today as a living and thriving culture.
