Detailed explanation-1: -The Abenaki population continued to decline, but in 1676, they took in thousands of refugees from many southern New England tribes displaced by settlement and King Philip’s War. Because of this, descendants of nearly every southern New England Algonquian tribe can be found among the Abenaki people.
Detailed explanation-2: -During much of the 17th century, the Abenaki were hunters, fishers and gatherers. Favoured game was more often moose than deer. They travelled mainly by birchbark canoes on lakes and streams, and lived in villages near waterfalls on major rivers during the seasons when migratory fish could be harvested.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The word Abenaki and its syncope, Abnaki, are both derived from Wabanaki, or Wôbanakiak, meaning “People of the Dawn Land” in the Abenaki language. While the two terms are often confused, the Abenaki are one of several tribes in the Wabanaki Confederacy.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
