The Name Game
The Abenaki tribe which this horse is based on is located in the Northeastern US in the area of present-day Maine. Their name means "people of the dawn". The Abenaki lived in wigwams⁠—temporary homes⁠—while they relocated seasonally, but also built permanent longhouses in centralized villages. Their seasonal migrations included hunting, fishing, and growing a variety of crops, returning to their longhouses during the winter. The Abenaki constructed birch-bark canoes for water travel. This tribal group includes the Penobscot and the Androscoggin.

The Abenaki fought against the English on the side of the French during the Seven Years’ War from 1756 to 1763. After their defeat, many went north where they were welcomed by the French with gifts of land. Presently, there is a reserve in Saint Francis, Quebec.
