A tribe descended from the Indigenous people who once occupied Vermont—where the ice cream maker's headquarters are based—has called for 'compensation.'
When asked to comment on the Odanak Abenaki statement, an Abenaki Alliance spokesperson said it was"unfortunate that a legal entity outside of the United States would insert itself into another country's conversation for political and financial gain," but denied that the Vermont tribes were themselves looking to profit.
According to historical records, the Abenaki initially traded with European settlers in the 16th century, before allying with French colonizers against English settlers in growing territorial disputes. Many fled to what is now Canada following a series of defeats at the hands of the English. "Odanak has been the base of and the center of Abenaki life for a steady period of over 400 years," a University of Vermont historian, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, told."And if we're talking about the actual descendants of the Abenaki people of western New England, we're talking about Odanak and to a lesser extent Wôlinak."
it was"always interested in reclaiming the stewardship of our lands," but that it"has not been approached in regards to any land back opportunities from Ben & Jerry's."
