Top: Ojibwe and Abenaki birch bark scrolls. Used to hold ancestral stories and spirits, considered living beings themselves. Sometimes employed in Midewiwin, the Grand Medicine Lodge, a secretive teachings based religion amongst the New England native tribes.

Bottom: Basque Arboglyphs, a tradition among Basque-American sheepherders most commonly practiced between 1850's and 1930's. Found in Idaho, California, Oregon, and Nevada; these trees allow for Basque descendants to track the movement of their ancestors across the west in a time very little formal documentation of this group exist. Sheepherders once used these symbols to mark rest stops and shelter- and they could contain anything from poetry, local wildlife, images of prostitutes, or homages to Euskal Herria (which many had been forced to flee due to right wing violence).

There's something deeply tragic about realizing that I don't know where my ancestors are buried or where they were sent to. We were called "g***ies" in eugenicist literature, never Abenaki, we were called Iroquois as a misnomer by early white anthropologists, never Abenaki, and all of this stuck. A million different names but none of them are our own. Castleton University still states that even though they got federal funding to be a residential school, they conveniently lost the records. Never a name, and never a voice, even still is our history walked over as a supposed dead and gone nation. Well, I'm not dead yet, and I'm not gone yet. I'm not giving Henry Perkins that satisfaction.

So I watched Wednesday a while ago, and I've been rolling some feeling around ever since that I feel I should spit out here for some closure. Obvi spoilers if you want to watch the show.

Wednesday Addams is Latina. Cool, awesome, good. The villains of the show are descendants of Pilgrims. Here's where my feelings start souring. The show is set in Jericho, Vermont. That's important. The entire main conflict is a land dispute, between the Addams family, and the Crackstone family. It's explicitly stated that the Addamses came up from Mexico, settled in Jericho, and consider it theirs. Crackstone's family came over with the Pilgrims (I grew up in the Plymouth area, so the historical inaccuracy hurts me, but that doesn't really matter here so much as that he is a white colonizer from England), settled in Jericho, and eventually locked all the outcasts from Mexico in a building and burned them alive. Horrible man, obviously.

Here's my problem. Mexicans have indigenous lands. In Mexico. They have land that is integral to their heritage. It's not in Vermont. Vermont land is Abenaki land. It belongs to the Abenaki people, always has, always will. Not once are the Abenaki represented. Wednesday makes snide comments about Pilgrim World and how the settlers did their level best (and continue to do their level best) to genocide native people off the face of the continent. But nowhere are there Abenaki people, saying "This is our land, we're still here, we need to be recognized, Land Back."

Vermont is a beautiful state, with a rich history. The Abenaki people are a strong, proud people, with a rich culture, a history, and the Western Abenaki language is still spoken to an extent, with strong attempts being made to revitalize the language. I have Abenaki heritage, which I am looking into reconnecting with, but I didn't grow up in the culture, and my family has been disconnected for a while, so maybe I'm reading this wrong. But I can't help but feel cheated. If the main conflict hadn't been a land dispute, I might not feel so euch about it, but they made it a land dispute, with Crackstone openly trying to kill any outcasts in the school, and the antagonist Laurel straight up stating that she wants "her land" back. But nary an Abenaki, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, nor Penobscot face in sight. And certainly no real mention that indigenous peoples still inhabit their lands to this very day. It just really pissed me off.

I don’t know if I ever mentioned it on this particular blog, but I’m half Native American. Earlier this week, my Uncle sent me a random gift for no particular reason, and in the center is a turtle charm. Cool coincidence since Ma and I are still working on watching our way through the 2003 series. Guess I’ll have sweet dreams with such a strong totem guarding my rest♥️🐢 😴

fellow Native Americans of tumblr interact, non-Natives do not (y'all can reblog)

the 4 colours representing the North, South, East, and West are different depending on the nation/tribe. I'm Abenaki and I was taught that North is white, south is yellow, east is red, and west is black

if yours is different, please do tell me! I'd love to hear how different peoples use the colours and why! :D

Israeli students claim that ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s is “illegally” occupying land in Vermont that once belonged to a Abenaki native American tribe and should practice what it preaches and immediately evacuate the properties.

A cheeky letter sent to B&J — signed by more than 1,000 Israeli students and academics affiliated with Students for Justice in America — accuses B&J of of hypocrisy.

“We have concluded that your company’s occupation of the Abenaki lands is illegal and we believe it is wholly inconsistent with the stated values that Ben & Jerry’s purports to maintain. Ironically, in July of the last year you announced that you would discontinue the sale of your products in Israel because you object to the Jewish State allegedly occupying Palestinian territories,” the letter to B&J’s chairperson, Anuradha Mittal said.

The letter, provided to The Post, notes that B&J filed a lawsuit against its parent company, Unilever, in an effort to block its sale of the Vermont-based brand’s Israel business to a local franchisee so ice cream could continue to be sold in the West Bank.

The new student initiative and letter is supported by Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center, a Tel-Aviv based human rights organization dedicated to safeguarding the lives of the Jewish community and and combatting the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against the Jewish State.

Hello internet :) I am looking to connect with any queer Abenaki folx who may be on here. I am beginning my own in-depth journey into my ancestry and am seeking community. I currently reside on Lenape land (colonized “Philadelphia”). Even if you are not in this same location, I would love to have conversation! Much love 🪴
