The Penobscot are a Native American nation of the modern-day State of Maine, also recognized as a First Nation of Canada. Along with the Abenaki, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Wolastoqiyik, they form the Wabanaki Confederacy. Their origin tales, like those of all Native peoples of North America, feature animals, natural phenomena, and spirit beings including the supernatural entity Glooscap.
