Mali Keating
Abenaki historian and storyteller

Mali Keating's family has roots in the
Connecticut River Valley that date back

arrived in this land. Her family history
is emblematic of how the Abenaki
moved throughout their traditional
territory after the establishment of
the U.S. and Canadian border.
