 region about Passamaquoddy bay and on 

 St Croix r. and Schoodic lake, on the 

 boundary between Maine and New Bruns-

 sure of the white settlements, and in 1866 

 were settled chiefly at Sebaik, near Perry, 

 on the s. side of the bay, and on Lewis 

 id. They had other villages at Calais, on

 affairs of the Indian reservations ( Prince
