Prehistoric Peoples of Maine
    
    Step back to the time before settlers walked the lands of Maine.  Use all of the skills you have developed as researchers to tell how the people that first walked our woods and swam our waters lived their lives.  You are looking for information about food, shelter, clothing, ceremonies and other necessary means of survival.
     The Wabanaki people, Penobscot, the Micmac, the Maliseet and the Passamaquoddy living in Maine today are the descendants of the Native People who inhabited this area in prehistoric times.
