Canoe Indians of Down East Maine

by William A Haviland

๐Ÿ“– The Scoop

The story of those who inhabited coastal Maine thousands of years before the French arrived, and how their lives changed at the dawn of the seventeenth century.

In 1604, when Frenchmen landed on Saint Croix Island, they were far from the first people to walk along its shores. For thousands of years, Etcheminsโ€”whose descendants were members of the Wabanaki Confederacyโ€”had lived, loved and labored in Down East Maine. Bound together with neighboring people, all of whom relied heavily on canoes for transportation, trade, and survival, each group still maintained its own unique cultures and customs.
After the French arrived, though, these indigenous people faced unspeakable hardships, from โ€œthe Great Dying,โ€ when disease killed up to ninety percent of coastal populations, to centuries of discrimination. Yet they never abandoned Ketakamigwa, their homeland. In this book, anthropologist William Haviland relates the challenging history endured by the natives of the Down East coast and how they have maintained their way of life over the past four hundred years.
