Androscoggin people

[1] The Ammoscongon once lived in the Androscoggin River watershed, located in present-day southern Maine and northern New Hampshire.

[citation needed] Together with the Pigwacket near Fryeburg, Maine they formed the southernmost of the Abenaki tribes and were therefore one of the first in contact with the English colonists of New England.

The renowned hunter, trapper, fisherman and guide, Metallak (1727–1847), was a member of the Androscoggin tribe.

They later migrated north to Canada, where they settled in Saint-François-du-Lac, Quebec, present day Abenaki First Nations of Odanak.
