Excerpt from Indian Hero Tales The Indian tribes of New England and Nova Scotia were called Abnaki, or East - land folk, by their Algonkin relatives; and Tarrateens, by our Puritan fathers. They played no small part in early New England history. Massasoit, Samoset, Uncas, Canonchet, King Philip, were Abnakis. Small remnants of these tribes remain on New Eng land soil. The Penobscots of Old Town, Maine, and the Passamaquoddies about Passamaquoddy Bay still hold to their language and many ancient customs. They number a few hundreds. The Micmacs, four thousand souls, chiefly in Nova Scotia, are as numer ous as they were four centuries ago.
