We would like to take a moment to thank our good friends at Cultural Survival and Native Voices for both being our fiscal sponsors during the time it took for our papers to be approved with the IRS. We would also like to thank our lawyer for his hard work and dedication to this project. </B></div> <div> <B>We also would like to thank all of our supporters who have helped us quick start many of our important on going projects. Over the last year we have been able to uncover many hidden archives in our historic preservation endeavors. </B></div> <div> <B>Two other exciting discoveries was a 50 cd set of the Abenaki to English language at Dartmouth College. (Father Aubrey's French -Abanaki dictionary sounds recording as pronounced by native Steve Laurent) Thanks to Dartmouth College the White Pine Association has a complete set of our original language. We quickly made a copy of the set and gifted it to Chief Chief April St.Francis Merrill, Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi, St.Francis/Sokoki Band. So now both the Koasek Abenaki and Missisquoi Abenaki have this important material in our possession. </B></div> <div> <B>At</B><B> this time we are making arrangements to give the CD set and access to the language website to all of the historic alliance; </B></div> <div> <B>Missisquoi St Francis/Sokoi Band, El Nu Tribe, Nulhegan Band and Koasek Citizens. </B></div> <div> <B>We are coordinating language preservation programs together which will be released with in the next year. Our goal is to be able to give freely back to the citizens this important material that holds the core of our cultural identity and spiritually. The Abenaki Language is on the endangered language list. We will be aggressively moving forward to insure passage to the next generations. </B></div> <div> <B>We were also able to purchase a copy of the published 1884 Aubery / Joseph Laurent dictionary in mint condition. Our goal in the next year is to have this dictionary scanned in and hosted in a PDF file so researchers can freely access this important text. We thank the donors for their generosity that helped us secure this rare book to offer back to the people.</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="0c8e0680.jpg" border=0 width="480" height="360" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>Nawihla was a huge success in 2007 with more to follow. The New Hampshire Governor signed a proclamation declaring Nawihla an official Native America Weekend and the proclamation was read by NH State Representatives at the beginning of the cultural weekend. We thank the community, guests and all the Native People who helped us make our festival a stand out event. </B></div> <div> <B>The White Pine Association has been a brain child that has been in the making over several years. It was carefully thought out. An educated dedication to this project took a long road to what it is today. Nancy Millette, Koasek Cultural Director and president of the White Pine Association has worked with many not for profit organizations over the years to find what really drives an engine to success. Her successful events began in Littleton NH, the ninth best small town in America! </B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="0c9c6360.jpg" border=0 width="198" height="310" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>She has worked with the Onondaga Healing Center to find how Native American Communities have been able to bring wellness into their nations and studied what has worked and what hasn't to make insure that the pitfalls are carefully sidestepped. </B></div> <div> <B>She has also visited the Akwesasne Freedom School to see how the Mohawk Nation has helped preserve their language and teach the children. Her path then went to the Kanatsiohareke Mohawk Community to learn more about language preservation programs, cultural exchange programs and other important work that has been a major undertaking of other Native Communities. "It was very rewarding to be able to learn from those who have been working in this field for many years," said Millette. "We have learned a lot first hand which is better than any other educational means one could ask for. My hope and the hope of the White Pine Board of directors is that we can give something back to our community so they can do as they choose is best for the next seven generations."</B></div> <div> <B>The White Pine Association is a staff of dedicated people who are either decendants of the Koasek Abenaki or have an interest in preservation of the history and culture of the Abenaki People and Koas Meadows. The White Pine Mission and goals is to improve the social, economic and cultural conditions of the Abenaki People and Preservation of the Cultural Identity, history and uniqueness of the Koas Meadows and it's people. </B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="0cae0680.jpg" border=0 width="480" height="360" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>We give thanks to the Creator and all our supporters for helping us make the White Pine Association dream one that has come true.</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>Nancy Millette</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>President, White Pine Association </B></div> <div> <B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="white_pine_association_contact_info_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>White Pine Association Contact Info.</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Website</U></B></div> <div> <B>Visit the WPA Website for more info:</B></div> <div> <B>White Pine Association</B></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.whitepineassociation.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.whitepineassociation.org"><U><B>http://www.whitepineassociation.org</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>E-Mail</U></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>Executive Director, </B></div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:Info@KoasekAbenaki.Org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:Info@KoasekAbenaki.Org"><U><B>Nancy Millette</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Fax/Phone Number</U></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>Office Main Phone Number</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>(802)-392-8006</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>Office Main Fax Number</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>(802)-392-8006</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Addresses</U></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>White Pine Association (VT) </B></div> <div> <B>PO Box 42 </B></div> <div> <B>Newbury VT 05051</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>White Pine Association ( NH) </B></div> <div> <B>PO Box 34 </B></div> <div> <B>Haverhill NH 03765</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </B></div> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="donate_here__"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>Donate Here; </U></B></div> <div> <B><U>Donations Requested to Support WPA:</U></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>Your Donations to the WPA are Tax Deductible and are greatly appreciated. </B></div> <div> <B>To Donate to the </B></div> <div> <B>White Pine Association. </B></div> <div> <B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </B></div> <div> <B>Please send your </B></div> <div> <B>Check or Money Order </B></div> <div> <B>Payable to: </B></div> <div> <B>"White Pine Association" </B></div> <div> <B>PO Box 42 </B></div> <div> <B>Newbury, Vermont 05051 </B></div> <div> <B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
