Androscoggin People
The Androscoggin (Arosaguntacook, etc., see names) were an Abenaki people from what are now the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire. By the 18th century, they were absorbed by neighboring tribes. Name Arosaguntacook or Arossagunticook, the tribe's endonym, in the eastern Abenaki language means "Rocky Flats flow" or "a river of rocks refuge." Other recorded variations of the name are Amariscoggin, Ameriscoggin, Arsigantegok, Asschincantecook, and Alessikantek-eyak by the Penobscot and the Cowasuck. The name ''Arosaguntacook'' was probably changed by Massachusetts Governor Edmund Andros to ''Androscoggin''. Today's Penobscot name for the Saint Francis Abenaki is ''Alessikantek-eyak'' because Arosaguntacook belonged to the ancestors of the people of Saint Francis. Distribution The Arosaguntacook once lived in the Androscoggin River watershed, located in present-day southern Maine and northern New Hampshire. Their main village was located in the vicinity of present-day Lewis ...
