It's impossible to say how the Abenakis would react to someone in Jag's circumstances seeking to establish tribal membership. One thing I did learn from working in the Native American studies department is that it is a huge mistake to make a general statement about Native people based on your experience with a single tribe. Every tribe is different. And it goes without saying that every individual in a given tribe is also different. Jag-contact the tribal council if you are serious about this. If nothing else you will learn a lot.
The Abenakis have a pretty extensive web presence. You may be able to answer some of your questions on their site.
