Atashni Macamic's History: 1898

Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    Atashni was my Great Grandfather. Most of what I learned regarding his life was from his son Louis Macamaux my Grandfather and the Abenakis Nation, Odanak Band. I am told the last name was changed to Macamaux by dropping the ic from Macamic and adding aux and the changing his first name from Atashni to Anselme another French name. This was supposedly done so he could get into U.S. as a Non-Native. Around 1865 when U.S. was trying to get rid of the Native Peoples Atashni and his wife Tama Pamanuk (had 5 children 3 boys, Louis, Adelard, Robert, and 2 girls) we have no information on.

9 Memories, Stories & Photos about Atashni

For years I wondered what made me feel different. Then finally
one day my Grandfather told me a story about his youth in Canada
with his mother and father Atashni Macamic and Tama Pamanuk
and his sisters. Ouyu, Dyani, Istas. (Rainbow, Deer, and Snow)
Ouyu he had learned died at birth. He had two brothers with
English names. Richard and Robert. His father didn't work in a
factory. He worked in the deep woods. After all he was Abenaki
and needed food to eat and hides for clothes.

My grandfather Louis Macamic (aux) Has been
found. He is the same grandfather I always had.
I often wondered why he took me to every Pow-Wow
on the eastern coast. Read on to see why.

When Atashni and his wife Tama Pamanuk came to the states the
Border Guards for some reason took the "ic" off Macamic and added
"aux" Changing the name to a French name Macamaux. The name
has been with us for over 100 years and research regarding my family
with Atashni Macamic and Tama Pamanuk has been a long hall. But you
know something, although a long time in coming I am proud to be a Native
American in the true sense of the word. Tonka Weykon!

My Grandfather was Louis Macamic, Atashni was his father (My Great Grandfather) and Atashni was married to Pama Tamanuk my Great Grandmother. When they came to the states the Border Guards changed the name to Macamaux by dropping (ic) on macamic and adding aux at the end changing the last name to Macamaux

Like to thank you for allowing me to say what I did say. I know no more of my family. So quoting another Native American. "I Speak No More Forever"
