Penobscot Indians


They are really Ojibway's. According to 1832's Edinburgh Encyclopedia, two large forces of Ojibway People forced their way east from a southwest location and west location. Penobscot Indians are from those Ojibway's that forced their way directly east, from a far west location. They were motivated to migrate east by prophecy. Those two groups of Ojibway's were named "Lenni-lenape" and "Iroquois." Lenni-lenape are really Ojibway. They came up from a southwest location, while Iroquois including Asseeneepoytuck or Assiniboine (aka Assinika), came directly east in a paralell line with Lenni-lenape's. They took control of land from Missouri River (it extends from it's mouth at Mississippi River at St. Louis to it's source in north Minnesota) to Atlantic Ocean. Mississippi River is 4th longest river on earth. However, it's length between it's source in north Minnesota, to it's mouth at Gulf of Mexico, is 2,320 miles. That's deceitful. Missouri River has a length of 2,341 miles from it's source in southwest Montana, to it's mouth at Mississippi River at St. Louis. Your not stupid. If you added that portion of Mississippi River from St. Louis to it's mouth at Gulf of Mexico, to Missouri River, than Missouri River would have a length of nearly 4,000 miles. Missouri River is really Mississippi River. White historians don't know what "Mississippi" means in Ojibway. In Ojibway Language, their word for "all," "entire," "everything," "whole," is "mi-si." Their word for "river" is "si-pi." Translated to English, Mississippi means "Entire River." It's also known as "Big Hole River" in Montana. Both groups of Ojibway's followed prophecy and knew they had to defend themselves. They were warned "Not To Trust Whites" because "Whites Will Be Deceitful." During those times Ojibway leaders took that extremely seriously. Penobscot Indians are "Assiniboine" or "Assinika." Ojibway's pronounced it as "As-sin-i-"bwaan." It means "Stony Oji"bwas."



They lived in what is now Alberta and Montana in 1492. During mid 16th century, chief Sagima or Ogima Sagima, led 10,000's of Ojibway Soldiers and their families from Manitolin Island, east and north. They settled along Ottawa River then forcefully settled along St. Lawrence River. They then expanded east to extreme east Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. Other eastern Ojibway's listed as Abenaki besides Penobscot Indians include Androscoggin, Cowasuck, Kennebec, Maliseet, Massachusett, Missiquoi, Montauk, Narragansett, Nashua, Odanak (town place), Ossipee, Passamaquoddy, Pennacook, Pequot, Piskataqua, Shinnecock, Sokoki, Wampanoag, Winnipesaukee and Wolinak. These eastern most Ojibway's, fiercely defended Indian land against both whites and their Indian allies. They were constantly at war against invading whites and their Indian allies until shortly after War of 1812. They were extremely brutal to those non Algonquian Indian Nations that helped whites. They either exterminated them or brought them under their control. They forced them to follow prophecy and brought them to Carribean Islands, South America and Mexico including North Mexico which in early 19th century was located from Kansas to California. In United States, their descendants live primarily in California and Texas. Their language has been corrupted yet we know it's Ojibway. Most Penobscot Indians live in Maine. These Ojibway's known as Penobscot Indians, are a lost cause. They don't know who they are. They are completely brainwashed. It's not their fault.
