The territory of the Abenaki community of Odanak, also known by the name of Saint-François-du-Lac, is located on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River, along the Saint François River, about 32 km east of Sorel.
There are 1,675 people in Odanak, with approximately 295 residents on the actual territory of the reserve.

Odanak eventually incorporated a number of Abenaki families from these bands, along with Native refugees from the Massachusetts tribes of –Pocumtuck (“swift, sandy river”), Woronoco (“winding river”), Nonotuck (“in the midst of the river”), Quabaug (“red pond”), and others – who had been forced out of the middle Connecticut River Valley by English colonists.
Odanak felt like a safe place, since it had a Catholic mission under the protection of the French, and was located far to the north of the English settlements.
The Abenaki community at Odanak is recognized as a First Nation by the Canadian government, but the Abenaki community at Missisquoi, which has also persisted to the present, has yet to be federally-recognized by the United States government.

 St Francis Indians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Odanak was populated by Eastern and Western Abenakis, and became a melting pot of many Native cultures over time, this was in addition to those people who 'married out' with non-Natives (which increased beginning at the end of the 19th century).
In 1719, the Fox invited the people of Odanak into their country, and in 1721, the calumet was accepted (and is still used in our ceremonies today).
In contrast to Rogers' claims that he killed over 200 and left 20 women and children as prisoners, French observers wrote in internal memos to their chain of command (a source where they are unlikely to fabricate the truth), that only 30 Abenakis were killed, and that 20 of them were women and children.
