Penobscot  
The Penobscot people, in south, central and coastal regions of present-day Maine, are one of the four tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy situated in Maine. Culturally and linguistically, they are eastern Algonkian and eastern Wôbanaki or Abenaki. Their territory encompasses the Penobscot, Picataquis and Union Rivers, with a long-standing village at Old Town. They were among the earliest tribes to encounter European traders and French missionaries in the early 1600s.
