Senate President Pro Tempore Becca Balint I remember the first time I learned about the Eugenics Survey of Vermont. I was a graduate student in history studying Native American land claims, and my thesis advisor found out that I was a Vermonter. She said, “You have to read Nancy Gallagher’s book, ‘Breeding Better Vermonters: The Eugenics Project in the Green Mountain State’, before you write another word.”
Her point was that as a scholar I couldn’t fully understand the critical context in which I was doing my work if I didn’t understand the Eugenics movements within my state. I did read it, and I was sickened by this dark chapter in our state’s history.
The Mountain Times

A eugenics survey in Vermont sought to “breed a better Vermonter” by sterilizing and institutionalizing Indigenous people, French-Canadians, and people who were mixed-race, poor or disabled.
Ninety years after the 1931 survey got underway, lawmakers are proposing an official apology for the state-supported program that tore families apart.
Abenaki people in Vermont say the ripple effects of the eugenics movement are still felt today and an apology from the state is an important step in repairing the relationship.
“You have to at least acknowledge that there’s a wound there before it can heal,” said Chief Don Stevens of the Nulhegan band of Abenaki, one of the four tribes in Vermont that gained state recognition in 2011 and 2012.
