Quick Facts
Native Americans have occupied northern New England for at least 10,000 years. There is no proof these ancient residents were ancestors of the Abenaki, but there is no reason to think they were not.

Hi Folks !
Where can i Find a war tomahawk?
I guess the Indians didn't fight with a Tomahawk, which is at the same time a peacepipe. The hole throughout the shaft for smoke,would make the Tomahawk weak. The back of the blade (Tomahawk) must have been a sharp peak or dull, to crush human head.
Have you a good picture for a Tattoo? I need one as well as an origanal picture of a Peace pipe.
I know the end of a pipe was make of a special stone. What is the name of it?
I would be very happy if you can find anybody to send a few pictures of these two things.

QUESTION:
I'm doing research on American Indian tribes. Could you tell me which if any of the following tribes are extinct:
"Abenaki" - spelled variously as: Abenaqui, Abnaki, Alnanbal, Benaki, Oubenaki, Wabanaki, Wippanap;
Montagnais (Algonquin);
Anagonges (Iroquois);
Aquannaque (Huron);
Bashaba;
Gannongagehronnon (Mohawk);
Moassones;
Maweshenook;
Narankamigdok;
Natsagana (Caughnawaga);
Obunego;
Onagunga;
Onnogonges;
Opanango;
Owenagunges;
Owenunga; and Skacewanilom (Iroquois)
Also, are the Abnaki, also known as Abenaki, considered an official native American tribe by the United States government?

Answer:
The many, many names of the north american indians who make up the group of indians known as the Abenaki can be quite confusing. All of the names you mentioned are actually just various names for the Abenaki indians in the Wabanaki Confederacy, or place names related to them. Read more...
