Original Vermonters : Native Inhabitants Past And Present

A scholarly yet readable account of what anthropologists have learned and are still learning about how people lived in Vermont before the arrival of the first Europeans. The prevailing myth that Indians never lived in Vermont has been erased by the decision of the Abenaki tribe to "go public" in the 1970's and the subsequent interest they, and others, have taken in the native population of the state.History and science combine with legend and lore as well as the living memory of these native people.
