Pentagoet: Wabanaki agency and colonial encounters

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The historical society distinguishes an English trading episode from the later French fort and modern excavation. The Penobscot Nation's timeline places the fort within a wider history of Indigenous leadership, kidnapping and colonial conflict.

Trading-place and colonial-conflict context Seventeenth century, with earlier Indigenous histories distinguished Built remains, historical accounts and Indigenous institutional history Castine, Maine (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound, underwater wreck or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, harvesting or travel permission is implied.

Transformação colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological materials do not identify every ancient speaker. Living language communities, self-designations, recognition and membership authority remain distinct. Events after 1700 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Built colonial place The historical society distinguishes an English trading episode from the later French fort and modern excavation.
