Pennacook
The term "Pennacook" or "Penôkoiak" from "Bagunticook," means "butter-nut tree place." The homelands of the Native people known as Pennacook are in present-day central and southern New Hampshire. They are closely tied to the Western Wôbanakiak (Abenaki) peoples. Culturally and linguistically, they are eastern Algonkian Indians.
