About Me

BARRY,February 17,1956,to Charles J and Dorothy M Willette in Portsmouth New Hampshire.I spent the first 16 years of my life in N'dakinna(Our Land)York Maine which at the time was a Beautiful Small Town.It has since grown into a very big town and while it retains much of its past it has lost a lot of its small town Charm.It is ironic that I lived in York being of Abenaki Indian Heritage as during the French Indian War York was raided and destroyed by an Abenaki War Party. The towns Historic Society tells a stupid false story of this raid of the warriors leaving their Snow Shoes at this big rock located several miles from what at the time was the center of town.Abenakis are not and never have been a stupid people so why would my Ancestors leave their snow shoes there and travel miles through the woods in deep snow without them.I hope one day that they drop this stupid lie. While my entire life has been pretty much a happy one,my first sixteen were probably the happiest. My Father, who also was my hero and still is, now that he has moved to the Spirit World. We had a special bond, and communicated often without having to speak aloud.

My Interests

Shar Pei Dogs especially Adia,Hoss and Little Joe.I enjoy listening to Native American Music especially Coyote Oldman and also the Honor The Earth Pow Wow.I enjoy reading and have read extensively on the life of Frank Fools Crow a great Lakota Holy Man.I am spending as much time as I can now trying to learn more about the ways of My People including our Language which was almost lost.While we Abenakis do not have federal Recognition(BIA says we no longer exist that we died out NOT),we most definitely do exist and it is up to all of us to learn our Heritage and Pass them on because The Land,The Stories and Songs connect the Abenaki People to Future generations and as long as WE do not forget we will never die.I do however spend time doing other things like watching and rooting for the New England Patriots in Football and the Boston Bruins in Hockey.

My heroes are Charles Willette, Fr Leo F. White, and General H. Norman Shwartkopf.
