Program: Lost Indian Tribes of Western Maine

Joins us and special guest Peter Stowell as he presents a powerpoint that will cover the period between 1600 – 1762, when the final treaty of the French and Indian Wars was signed. He will talk about the approximately 20 tribes that lived west of the Kennebec River. These include the Anasagunticooks of Topsham, Auburn and Canton Point; the Pequawket of Fryebrug; the Ameseconti of Farmington; the Sokoki of York County and the Narantsouak, Teconnet and Cushnoc of the Kennebec River.

Mr. Stowell will also talk about tribal interactions with settlers, clerics and fisherman as well as the eventual fate of the tribes. Expect this program to run a little over our usual time of one hour.

Refreshments will be served following the program.
