Excerpt:

"We bought this land from someone Native. US dollars, of course. We pay the property taxes in US dollars, too, of course. It was bought and sold by white people before that a few times, but it was stolen before that.

An individual tribal member selling us a house and land under colonist rule hundreds of years since their genocide started doesn't change the fact that this is still N'dakina, and this land was stolen from the Abenaki. One Native person selling it to us does not speak for the tribe from the time it was stolen, nor the tribe of today. The only thing it says is that we live here now, and under conditions that are inextricably linked to violence, as is all land on Turtle Island."
