Which the Post Carriers recognize as the same location as

Wantastegok, Ndkinna 05301 Petitions in envelopes marked to the Clerk’s office can be delivered into the black Ballot box that says, "For Tax Payments" at the parking lot entrance of the Municipal building.

Today’s racist seal reflects white washed democide which does not represent a respectively accurate portrayal of history nor express modern cultures’ envisioned future directions.

People previously authorized by the Municipal administration approved of the minimalist architectural outline of the Municipal Building as the establishment image. It’s contained text ascribes the land as “chartered” as in thieved in 1753 by colonizers of the British oligarchy to the English Colonel William Brattle, who was a slave owner living in Massachusetts and loyally served the monarchy’s imperial empire agenda during the Revolutionary War.

From 1777-Present, Vermont Legislators have conquered land as part of violent genocide against the local Sokwakiak (“So-Koke-Wa-Ke-Ak”) Tribe, naming their territory from Unity County, into Cumberland County, into Windham County after Charles Wyndham; who was the 4th Baronet, 7th Duke of Somerset, and 1st Earl of Egremont; because he was a man of “good breeding” and secretary to the state of Britain in the late 1600’s. His granted affiliation with New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth appointed him permission to colonize Connecticut and New Hampshire. Regions entitled to Wyndham were the pre-residing origins of where the majority of Europeans migrated to Vermont from and they carried their oppression under the name of Windham with them.

The name “Windham” originated in the English language meaning ‘water meadow homestead’.

Turtle Island is a First Nations’ reference to Earth. On the Place of the Great Turtle’s Back; is the Western Hemisphere’s Northern Continent’s East Coast, parceled by “Ndakinna” meaning home country of and to the native Western Abenaki Confederacy (: meaning “People of the Dawn”), Nation of Missiquoi (; meaning “place of flint and boulder’s point”), the county area known as Sokwakik (“So-Koke-EE” ); meaning land of the Sokwakiak (“So-Koke-Wa-Ke-Ak”) Tribe (; meaning Band of People from the Sokwakik (“So-Koke-EE” ) land.)

The original Sokwakiak (“So-Koke-Wa-Ke-Ak”) name, the “Wabanaki”; meant “those who live at the sunrise” or “the Easterners”. This Municipal zone name being “Wantastegok” ( “Wan-Tas-Teh-Gok”) from the Algonquians’ Ozogwakiak language; meaning “Land of the Separated People at the Long Kwenitekw (“Kwene-Ta-Kwa””) and Lost Wantastekw (“Wan-Tas-Ta-Kwa”) Rivers’ confluence”.

People in Vermont’s government extended recognition to the Sokwakiak (“So-Koke-Wa-Ke-Ak”) in 1976 but rescinded in 1977 after hunters and fishermen protested Tribal hunting and fishing rights. State recognition was restored in 2012. The Tribal Office in Swanton is pursuing federal recognition, adapting a flag as part of that process.

A Municipality is distinguished as a polis body by substantiated declaration of autonomous self-rule, independent of and superseding federal jurisdiction. Residents choose to empower their rights, liberties, freedoms, and protections which enables them to secede from the United States. Towns, Cities, and Villages under Dillon's Rule differentiate by not claiming sovereign Municipal status.
