Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In order to cement relations between bands and with other tribes, the Abenaki engaged in a form of institutionalized comradeship that united two men for life in ritual brotherhood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many sought refuge with kin at Odanak in Canada or in New York. When the French surrendered to the British in 1763, the Abenakis were removed from all treaties as their homeland was considered conquered territory. The Abenaki remained marginalized for much of Vermont’s history, only becoming recognized by law in 2006.

Detailed explanation-3: -The raids stopped when the war ended. Some captives were adopted into the Mohawk and Abenaki tribes; older captives were generally ransomed, and the colonies carried on a brisk trade.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Abenaki were spread throughout the northeastern United States and came into contact with English colonists when they began to settle the New England Colonies. As new colonists came into New England many of the Abenaki relocated to Quebec while a small portion stayed in the colonies and traded with the English.
