Title
Canadian Iroquois Demand Part of Vermont Wampum
Subject
Student summary of current events in Vermont regarding the controversy over $4,800,000 surplus funds in the state treasury that the government does not know what to do with. Indigenous peoples of VT, specifically the Canadian Iroquois demand that VT give the money "back to the Indians" as a form of reparations. From the sarcastic tone of the author, it seems as if he is against this action.

Coverage
"Give it back to the Indians is one solution that found immediate and enthusiastic popular support from 5,000 material-minded Canadian Iroquois."
"The Indians believe that they have a legal claim to some of the money, $1,200,000 to be exact. The claim dates back to 1776 when early Vermonters seized a sizeable portion of territory from the six nations confederacy."
"Middlebury students will not likely have the pleasure of seeing the Rutland Railroad raided by warring Iroquois."
