 that Abenaki is a derivative from Wabanung, " the east," and alike, " earth,"

 early English colonists, and formerly inhabited part of the present states of 

 Maine and New Hampshire. They were divided into several sub-tribes, of 

 whom the best known are the Penobscots, Norridgeivocks, and Ameriscoggins. 

 About the year 1754, all but the Penobscots withdrew into Canada. The
