The word "Penobscot" originates from a mispronunciation of their name Penawapskewi. The word means "rocky part" or "descending ledges" and originally referred to the portion of the Penobscot River between Old Town and Bangor.
Government
The Penobscot Nation is headquartered in Indian Island, Maine. The tribal chief is Kirk Francis. The vice-chief is Bill Thompson.
Pre-contact
Little is known about the Penobscot people pre-contact. Native peoples are thought to have inhabited Maine and surrounding areas for at least 11,000 years. They subsisted on beavers, otters, moose, bears, caribou, fish, seafood (clams, mussels, fish), birds, bird eggs, berries, nuts, and possibly marine mammals such as seals, all of which were found throughout their native lands. The people practiced some agriculture but not to the same extent as that of indigenous peoples in southern New England, where the climate was more temperate. Food was potentially scarce only toward the end of the winter, in February and March. For the rest of the year, the Penobscot as well as other Wabanaki likely had little difficulty feeding themselves because the land offered much, and the number of people was sustainable. The bands moved seasonally depending on where the most bountiful game and fish would be.
history of the penobscot tribe, native american people
Native Americans hailing from the Eastern Woodlands region in North America are known as the Penobscot (Abenaki: PűnawŬhpskewi). In the Atlantic provinces and Quebec, they are structured as a First Nations band government, but in Maine, they are organized as a federally recognized tribe.

HOME: The Story of Maine "The Penobscot Expedition and The Revolution"
During the American Revolution, citizens in what was then the Province of Maine experienced tremendous hardship, shifting loyalties, huge losses of property and land, and dramatic population shifts.
Maine had been the theater of intermittent warfare for nearly 100 years starting in 1675 with King Phillips’ War and ending only in 1763 when peace was finally reached with the French.
Once the wars were concluded, the British demanded that the Americans contribute to the costs of defending and administering the expanded empire. They imposed a series of taxes on their colonists, without giving the colonists representation in Parliament. Patriots in Maine were some of the first Americans to rebel.

Pre-contact
Little is known about the Penobscot people pre-contact. Native peoples are thought to have inhabited Maine and surrounding areas for at least 11,000 years. They subsisted on beavers, otters, moose, bears, caribou, fish, seafood (clams, mussels, fish), birds, bird eggs, berries, nuts, and possibly marine mammals such as seals, all of which were found throughout their native lands. The people practiced some agriculture but not to the same extent as that of indigenous peoples in southern New England, where the climate was more temperate. Food was potentially scarce only toward the end of the winter, in February and March. For the rest of the year, the Penobscot as well as other Wabanaki likely had little difficulty feeding themselves because the land offered much, and the number of people was sustainable. The bands moved seasonally depending on where the most bountiful game and fish would be.
