Passamaquoddy
The Passamaquoddy (Peskotomuhkati or Pestomuhkati in the Passamaquoddy language) are a
Native American/
First Nations people who live in northeastern
North America, primarily in
Maine and
New Brunswick. The Passamaquoddy lacked a written history before the arrival of Europeans but do have extensive coastal regions along the
Bay of Fundy and
Gulf of Maine and along the
St. Croix River and its tributaries. They dispersed and hunted inland in the winter; in the summer, they gathered more closely together on the coast and islands and farmed corn, beans, and squash, and harvested seafood, including
porpoise. The name "Passamaquoddy" is an Anglicization of the Passamaquoddy word peskotomuhkati, the prenoun form (prenouns being a linguistic feature of Algonquian languages) of Peskotomuhkat (pestəmohkat), the name they applied to themselves. Peskotomuhkat literally means "pollock-spearer" or "those of the place where polluck are plentiful", reflecting the importance of this fish.
[1] Their method of
fishing was spear-fishing rather than angling.
