"At Middlebury, we rarely talk about the colonization and our college's role in the genocide of the Abenaki people who are still living in Vermont. Many of you who are reading this are probably sitting inside Proctor dining hall. Our dining hall is named after Redfield Proctor, Jr., who was the 59th Governor of Vermont. Proctor directly advocated for the forced sterilization bill that passed in the Vermont House of Representatives in 1931. Under this racist and classist policy, the Abenaki people were targeted for forced sterilization. In order to protect themselves, many Abenaki families were forced to deny their heritage, their language, and their culture in order to 'pass' as settlers in Vermont. In doing so the legacy of colonization continued." "The action on Sept. 11 should remind us that we have a duty to not only remember the 3,000 people who died 12 years ago but also address our history of colonization and the genocide of millions of indigenous people on this land we call 'America.'" administrative action anti-racism colonialism decolonization imperialism Indigenous racism student activism white supremacy
