A short story on the Abenaki People ***** Native Americans have been in northern New England since before recorded history, and in these parts, they are known as the Abenaki.... The name originates from an Algonquin word meaning "People of the dawn" or "Easteners". This term was generally applied to Algonquin-speaking people anywhere along the Atlantic coast..... The Abenaki called themselves "Alnanbal" (meaning "men") and called their homeland "Ndakinna" meaning (our land).... They were agricultural people and usually settled on the floodplains of rivers.... Abenaki Confederation tribes included the Amasceconti, Androscoggin, Kennebec, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Ouarastegouiak, Patsuiket, Penobscot, Pigwacket, Micmac, Penacook, Rocameca, Sokoni, Sokoki, Weweno... All these names are familiar to us in northern New England as names of rivers, lakes, mountains, towns and other natural landmarks. The word, "Winnipesaukee is " Wiwininbesaki" and translates as " lake around islands". Proud Abenaki people now live in the Abenaki village of "Odanak", in Quebec, Canada, in New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and many other states...........
