Pequawket  
The Pequawket homelands are situated in eastern New Hampshire and western Maine, along the Saco River and south of Kennebec and Androscoggin territory. Culturally and linguistically, they are eastern Algonkian and eastern Wôbanaki or Abenaki. During the late 1600s, they were close diplomatic partners and allies of the Pennacook, and among the founding populations of Odanak. A 1703 English attack on Pequawket inspired Wattanummon to ask the French for aid in attacking the English settlements.
