Documenting Abenaki history and heritage in Vermont and New Hampshire has at times been difficult. The national eugenics movement resulted in many Abenaki families being listed in census records as other races and ethnicities; some also underwent name changes from what they say were the original Abenaki or Canadian French. Additionally, the unreliability of family stories, or misinterpreted records from this era, also resulted in non-Abenaki believing they have Abenaki heritage when they do not. On June 25, 1978, the first record of a 20th-century repatriation and reburial of Abenaki remains takes place in Center Harbor, New Hampshire. On November 15, 1980, the first record of a repatriation and reburial of Abenaki remains takes place in Vermont after a set of Abenaki remains is discovered at the Putney Historical Society in Putney, Vermont. Blackie Lampman and Richard Phillips ask Beverly Bolding to facilitate the repatriation. During this time, many groups consisting of small families said they were now returning to their Abenaki heritage after having denied it for the first half of the 20th century. Other claimants to Abenaki heritage also emerged, including those who had never before claimed Abenaki ancestry. This included the Nulhegan, who began as a nonprofit organization. This caused tension between the European Americans claiming Abenaki status and the extant Abenaki First Nations in Canada, such as the Odanak First Nation who see the Vermont Abenaki as illegitimate due to their lack of Abenaki ancestry, and their lack of cultural continuity from any historic tribe. In 2006, The Vermont Legislature recognized the Abenaki as a "Minority Population" within the State of Vermont under Statute 853. This entitled the Abenaki protections as a disadvantaged race of people. However, since there were no recognized Abenaki Indian Tribes in Vermont, there were "legally" no Abenaki people under the law. On March 16, 2008, the Vermont Indigenous Alliance is formed by Elnu Abenaki Tribe, Koasek Abenaki Tribe, Missisquoi Abenaki Tribe with the purpose of unifying the tribes and pursuing official state-recognition from Vermont. Finally, on April 22, 2011, the Nulhegan was officially recognized by the State of Vermont as an Abenaki Indian Tribe. In 2013, Wabanaagig TV from the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network in Canada produces the movie, The Vermont Abenaki: A struggle for recognition, which documents the struggle for Vermont State recognition and culminates with the celebration of state recognition. From August 19 to 22, 2015, the annual Wabanaki
