Our web site has been developed to assist our guests in learning what became of the Abenaki People (a Wabanaki sub-group). They have inhabited Interior New England and regions of Eastern Canada for over 10,000 years. However, for the past 200 years, local historians have told us the Abenaki have disappeared from our landscape. | Our web site has been developed to assist our guests in learning what became of the Abenaki People (a Wabanaki sub-group).

Wabanaki and Abenaki are actually different variations of the same word. The word is generally accepted to mean "People of the Dawnland". Historically and anthropologically, Wabanaki refers to a larger group of people including Abenaki, Mi'kmaq, Huron, and sometimes Catholic Mohawk. Abenaki is generally accepted as describing people historically and most commonly referred to as Abenaki, Penecook, Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, Pigwacket, Cowass, Rocomeco, Sokokis, Norridgewock, Wawanock, St. Johns, St. Francis, and Missisquoi. | Wabanaki and Abenaki are actually different variations of the same word.

Our organization is focused on learning what became of the Abenaki still in place at the time of the Revolutionary War. However, in order to accomplish this, we must study all Wabanaki People. Therefore, you will discover a great deal of information on our website concerning Wabanaki groups in general, and not just the Abenaki. | Our organization is focused on learning what became of the Abenaki still in place at the time of the Revolutionary War.
