Question

can you tell why the Abenakis are called Indians? Are they from India ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The word Abenaki and its syncope, Abnaki, are both derived from Wabanaki, or Wôbanakiak, meaning "People of the Dawn Land" in the Abenaki language. While the two terms are often confused, the Abenaki are one of several tribes in the Wabanaki Confederacy.

Answer 2

The Abenaki people call themselves Alnombak, meaning “the people.” The Abenaki, also called “Abanaki” or “Abnaki”,were part of the Wabanaki Confederacy of five Algonquian-speaking tribes that existed from the mid-1600s to the mid-1800s.
