Abenaki Acknowledgement

We acknowledge this land we sit on and the people whose home this is. This land is the land of the aboriginal Abenaki people who have lived here for over 12,900 years. The Abenaki people faced centuries of war and disease stemming from the European invasion, continued eradication pre and post American Revolution and sterilization as a result of the Vermont Eugenics laws in the 20th century. The resilience and strength of the Abenaki people continues to manifest itself today in their protection of the land and their communities. As members of the Missisquoi Tribe of the Abenaki Nation shared with us, “We will always stand up and protect our aboriginal title.

In an ever more connected and globalized world, it seems like it has never been more important to decide what group you belong to, how you choose to define yourself, and the details of where your blood comes from. Parallel to this is a deep sense of anxiety and doubt when it comes to where and who we are, or, even more anxiety inducing - am I authentic enough to claim it.

This study present a phenomenological study of my personal experience with cultural anxiety and imposter syndrome, a cross-disciplinary examination and analysis of it through sociological, psychological, and group dynamic approaches, and the presentation of a theory around how our current relationship and understanding of cultural identities create and perpetuate a state of cultural anxiety, self-doubt, antagonism, and a sense of being an imposter. Finally, it proposes a potential path forward to confront and navigate these issues.
