Etymology.
The name "Passamaquoddy" is an Anglicization of the Passamaquoddy word "peskotomuhkati", the prenoun form (prenouns being a linguistic feature of Algonquian languages) of "Peskotomuhkat" ("pestmohkat"), their autonym or name they applied to themselves. Peskotomuhkat literally means "pollock-spearer" or "those of the place where pollock are plentiful", reflecting the importance of this fish in their culture. Their method of fishing was spear-fishing rather than angling or using nets. Passamaquoddy Bay is shared by both New Brunswick and Maine; its name was derived by English settlers from the Passamaquoddy people., Tennessee ("Tanasi") is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States.
