They're really taking liberties with their title. Wabanaki also means people of the dawn, but it is used by Maine and Canadian tribes to describe a confederacy, not a nation. The Abenaki are closely related and some are still part of the Wabanaki confederacy, however once again Abenaki are loosely related bands who share a common language and customs and often carry the name of where they come from. All in the Alqonquin language group, however, not specifically an Alqonquin Nation. They are also not Haudenosaunee as the website also claims. Those are Six Nations people who are not related to, and actually old enemies. They seem to be calling themselves a sovereign nation and then claim they are only descendants. Trained pipe carriers?? also not Abenaki, Wabanaki, Six Nations.....
Lotta bs goin' on there.
Hard to go through it all..the website is a mess.
Superdog
Just adding one more thing....this post is about the algonquinwabanaki.net site and not about the individuals mentioned above.
