*NOTE - I differ from Professor Ganong regarding the relation of the Maliseets and the
Penbscots to the Kennebecs. There is, I consider, sufficient evidence to warrant the opinion that the
Penobscot tribe was founded by emigrants from the Kennebec country, and that for many years both
bands were members of one tribe, ruled by one supreme sakum or chief. Both Maliseets and Penobscots
have traditions that the founders of the Maliseets tribe were Penobscots.
