Abenaki (also spelled as Abnaki or Wabanaki) are Native American people group from the Northeast Woodlands.[3] The group is part of the Algonquian language group. The group was also a member of the Wabanaki Confederacy. The people are broken into two language groups. They are the Eastern and Western Abenaki Language group. The eastern language was in New Brunswick and Maine. The western language was in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and southern Quebec. The name Abenaki means "People of the Dawn Land" in the Abenaki language.[4] Today the US government recognizes several tribes connected to the Abenaki.
