Etchemin Indians.
This Algonquin family, occupying the eastern part of Maine, lived, at an early period, on the Penobscot River, between the Abenakes proper and the Micmacs.
They are now represented by the remnants of the Penobscots and Passamaquoddies.
About onehalf of them (the Penobscots) lived on islands in the Penobscot River, and the remainder (Passamaquoddies) on the western shore of Passamaquoddy Bay and on the Schoodic lakes.
These remnants are mostly Roman Catholics, and have churches and schools.
Their blood remains pure, for the laws of Maine will not allow them to intermarry with the white people, and they are declining in strength.
