They lived many years ago but they still live today.  They’re the Penobscot. Today, I’m going to tell you about the Penobscot.  They call themselves “Panawampskik” which means “People of the Rocky River”.
     The men’s jobs were to fish, hunt, make canoes and make the tools.  The women’s jobs were to take care of the children, make the clothes, build houses, and make tools and pottery. The boys had to learn to hunt, fish, make canoes, and make tools. The girls had to learn to make clothes, tools, build houses, and to make pottery.
     The Penobscot ate buffalo, fish, deer, rabbit and bear. They made their homes out of sticks,  hay and deerskins.  They called their homes wigwams. Did you know that the Penobscot slept on logs that they put together? Then they put deer, bear and other animal skins on it.
     And, did you know that Samuel D. Champlain and his people saw many Penobscot villages? Their location was in Maine.
     To protect themselves, they made bows and arrows and knives. They wore soft animal skins, beads, and feathers.
