Vermont’s new Abenaki curriculum sparks backlash from Quebec nations who reject its legitimacy and label it a misrepresentation.
A new "American Abenaki" curriculum for Vermont schools, developed by four state-recognized Abenaki groups, has drawn criticism from Abenaki nations in Quebec, who reject the legitimacy of the Vermont tribes and oppose the use of the term "American Abenaki."
The curriculum, aimed at grades 3–12, highlights the history and resilience of Vermont’s Abenaki communities but was created without input from Quebec-based nations, who call it a misrepresentation of their shared identity and a rewriting of history.
The controversy underscores ongoing disputes over Indigenous recognition, cultural authenticity, and historical accuracy.
