Mythologie Wabanaki
La mythologie Wabanaki regroupe les peuples amérindiens suivant : Confédération Wabanaki, Pentagouet, Abénaqui, Míkmaq, Micmacs, Mi’kmaq, Penawapskewi, Pentagouets, Pestomuhkati, Passamaquoddys, Wolastoqiyik, Malécites, Malicite, Maliseet
La confédération Wabanaki (Wabenaki, Wobanaki) était une confédération historique, du XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, de cinq nations amérindiennes ayant la langue algonquine comme langue commune.
Les membres de la confédération Wabanaki étaient localisés dans une région qu’ils appelèrent Wabanaki (Dawnland). Pour les Européens, cette région était connue comme l’Acadie et le Maine, la Nouvelle-Écosse et le Nouveau-Brunswick, plus une petite partie du Québec au sud du fleuve Saint-Laurent. Les Abénaquis de l’ouest étaient localisés au New Hampshire, au Vermont et au Massachusetts.
Les membres de la Confédération des Wabanaki étaient :
- Pentagouets (ouest Abénaquis)
- (est) Abénaquis
- Míkmaq (Micmacs ou Mi’kmaq)
- Penawapskewi (Pentagouets)
- Pestomuhkati (Passamaquoddys)
- Wolastoqiyik (Malécites ou Malicite ou Maliseet)
Ils étaient aussi alliés des Innus, Algonquins et Hurons-Wendats.
La confédération cessa d’exister en 1862, mais cinq nations Wabanakis existent encore aujourd’hui.
