The term "Wabanaki" refers to a group of Indigenous peoples in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. This confederation includes the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, and Mi'kmaq tribes. The Wabanaki people share cultural and historical ties, and they have lived in this region for thousands of years, adapting to the natural environment. Wabanaki translates to "People of the Dawn," reflecting their connection to the land and its resources. They have a rich cultural heritage, including traditional practices, languages, and governance systems. Today, Wabanaki tribes continue to advocate for their rights and preserve their cultural identity in modern society.
