The Abenakis of Vermont (1987)

From the Robin Washington TV library: Vermont folklore has long maintained that the state had no slavery and never displaced a Native American population -- an assertion disputed by the Abenakis, who trace their history in the region back 11,000 years. The case of the federally unrecognized tribe is made by Chief Homer St. Francis (who died in 2001 and was described as "fiery and uncompromising" in his obituary). Also chronicles is a "fish-in" in which tribal members force state authorities to address their hunting and fishing rights.
