The Sokoki Indian Tribe

"Sokoki" is the name of one of the important bands or subgroups of the Abenaki tribe, located in what is now Vermont. The name Sokoki is a corruption of the band's name in their own language, Ozogwakiak, which means "breakaway people." Descendants of the Sokoki Abenakis live in many places today, but especially in Vermont.
