History

Historical accounts said that the Abnaki's permanent villages were located on the mainland and that they regularly fished and gathered shellfish from MDI in the warmer months. However, recent Archeological evidence supports just the opposite scenario. The more temperate coastal weather kept them in places like Mount Desert Island during winter months. In the spring, they ventured further inland to hunt and fish for the salmon in the rivers that were returning to spawn.
