Two of the Major Goals of the Clan of the Hawk are: 1. To provide free educational programs to schools and other private and public organizations; the subject matter which would cover, but not be wholly limited to:
a. The earliest settlement of the North American continent; the societies –the religious, political, family, language, and monetary structures and systems—and deep-rooted culture of these early inhabitants; b. The specific cultural and societal aspects of the Abenaki Tribe and its impact on the State of Vermont, and its connections to Canada; c. The various skills and crafts practiced by the Abenaki peoples such as drumming, weaving, basket making, beading. 2. To share the teaching of native culture and ethics with Native and Non-native inmates of local Correctional systems, in the hope that this will help them finding a firmer life structure, by recognizing and honoring the ways of these ancient ones. Clan of the Hawk volunteers have visited, given presentations, or provided classes at (or with the cooperation of the staff from) the following institutions. Caledonia Community Work Camp
