Los abenaki son una confederación de tribus amerindias, cuyo idioma pertenece a las lenguas algonquinas. Su nombre procedía de wabunaki “los que viven a la salida del sol”. Comprendía las tribus norridgewock, penobscot, passamaquoddy, maliseet, sokoki y arosaguntacok. Menos las dos últimas, las otras ahora se consideran tribus independientes.
