The Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation is a state-recognized tribe of Abenaki people from Vermont. They are also called the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe or simply, Nulhegan.
We are the Nulhegan Tribe; the Memphremagog Band; the Northern Cowasuk
Indians. We have lived here, in the St. Francis, Nulhegan, Memphremagog,
Passumpsic, and Upper Connecticut Basins of Vermont, northern New Hampshire, and
the Eastern Townships of Quebec, from time beyond memory. Our memories and oral
history tell about when the old ones were faced with the decision to stay or
travel west to the Great Lakes. Some made the journey and some stayed here in
N'dakinna (our land). Our oral history tells of the wars and the hardships of
survival and acceptance in the centuries after. Our presence here has not always
been wanted, warranted, or even admitted. Memories and stories of eugenics and
ethnic cleansing in the 19th and 20th centuries brought animosity and distrust
that still manifests itself today.
Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe is recognized
on April 22, 2011.
§ 854. Recognition of Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki
NationThe Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation has filed an application

and has complied with the recognition requirements contained in subdivisions
853(c)(1)-(9) of this title and is hereby recognized by the State of Vermont as
a Native American Indian tribe. (Added 2011, No. 8, § 1, eff. April 22, 2011.)
