For thousands of years, before the arrival of European colonizers, the Abenaki lived here in Askaskwiwajoak also known as the Green Mountains — and they are still here. So, we also reached out to members of the Abenaki community to learn more about the words in their language that describe the landscape, and their relationships with it.
By scrolling down, you'll find a list of Vermont and Abenaki place names. Each has an audio file you can play to hear the correct pronunciation. This guide may not capture every variation, but it will help you avoid the most egregious errors. Further down, you'll also find our map, which has one layer for Vermont cities, towns and gores, and then another layer for Abenaki place names.
We're adding pinned spots where you can click to hear the places and their pronunciations. And lastly, we've included instructions near the bottom of this story for how you can contribute to this guide. This is a work-in-progress! We will continue adding new pronouncers to the map. We have big dreams of including all Vermont cities, towns and gores in this guide, plus as many Abenaki names as we can, so if you see one missing, please help us! You can do that a couple ways: send a voice memo to hello bravelittlestate.
Please record your name, the pronunciation, any other tidbits — history, personal connections to the place, anything like that. We worked off a list first compiled by Jane Lindholm. We have support from VPR sustaining members. You can sign up for our free newsletter here, and we are on Instagram and Twitter at bravestatevt. VPR News.
