Summary

Description
English: This is the max range of the Wabanaki Confederacy based off of cultural boundaries of the five tribal populations that made it up at around its formation in the early 1600s. Yellow is the Miꞌkmaq. Orange is the Wəlastəkwewiyik (Maliseet), Red is the Passamaquoddy, Brown is the Penobscot, and Cayenne is the Western Abanaki. The large mixed area to the north was part of Wabanaki territory but is not part of the cultural boundaries of the individual 5 tribes. This may in part be due to it's recent acquisition (In relationship to the formation of Wabanaki) from Iroquois tribes that were pushed out of the area as identified by Samuel de Champlain during the establishment of Quebec City. Algonquin people would have started moving into the land around the same time the French would.

The Beothuk shared the Island, living in the Northern and Eastern parts of the Island until their culture largely died out around the 1830s. The Mi'kmaq peoples would to this day survive as part of the Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation and Miawpukek Mi'kmaq First Nation on the Island.

Mi'kmaq populations on both would maintain mostly indirect involvement in Wabanaki through the other Mi'kmaq people in Wabanaki. Newfoundland for instance would have been involved in political gatherings with the Wabanaki up until the 1830s.

Prins's write up shows the capital of the Wabanaki would move around to the large villages of the five tribes. As there was no single leader of Wabanaki, the council would rotate hosting the capital around for assemblies. Historically, meetings were held in Wabanaki head villages such as the (Yellow) Mi'kmaq village of Eelsetkook, the (Orange) Maliseet village of Meductic, the (Red) Passamaquoddy village at Sipayik, the (Brown) the Penobscot village Panawamskek, and the (Cay...
