Abenaki Sources
Western Abenaki is an Eastern Algonkian language indigenous to Vermont, and Quebec. Today, there are very few speakers. Thus far, I have been too shy to get involved in any efforts to rectify this, but I would like to!

I scribbled these references down while working on a paper once, but didn't get all the information. I should chase after these at some point. I was at MIT when I found these citations, but I've forgotten what I was looking at.
