"The Androscoggin People" (a.k.a.: Arosaguntacook) are a tribe of the Abenaki People, from what are now, the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire. By the 18th century, they for the most part, had been absorbed by neighboring tribes. Arosaguntacook or, Arossagunticook, the tribe's endonym in the Eastern Abenaki language means: "Rocky Flats flow", or, "a river of rocks refuge." Other recorded variations of the name are: Amariscoggin, Ameriscoggin, Arsigantegok, Asschincantecook and Alessikantek-eyak by the Penobscot and Cowasuck Peoples. The name Arosaguntacook was probably changed by Massachusetts Governor, Edmund Andros, to Androscoggin. Today's Penobscot name for the Saint Francis Abenaki is Alessikantek-eyak, because, Arosaguntacook belonged to the ancestors of the people of Saint Francis. Together, with the Pigwacket People, the Androscoggin formed the southernmost of the Abenaki tribes and were therefore, one of the first in contact with the English colonists of New England. The Androscoggin were the major tribal grouping which encompassed the Indians, from the Pennacooks in New Hampshire, to the Passamaquoddies and the St. John River Indians, in eastern Maine.
