The Norridgewock Raid occurred in contested lands being fought over by England, France and the Wabanaki Confederacy, during the colonial frontier conflict referred to as Governor Dummer's War.
 Despite being called a 'battle' by some, the raid was essentially a massacre of Indians by colonial British troops.
 Captains Johnson Harmon, Jeremiah Moulton, and Richard Bourne (Brown) led a force of two hundred colonial New Englanders, which attacked the Abenaki village of Narantsouak, or Norridgewock, on the Kennebec River; the current town of Norridgewock, Maine developed near there.
 The village was led by, among others, the sachems Bomazeen and Welákwansit, known to the English as Mog.
 The village's Catholic mission was run by a French Jesuit priest, Father Sébastien Râle.
The Northeast Coast Campaign (1723) occurred during Father Rale's War from April 19, 1723 – January 28, 1724.
 In response to the previous year, in which New England attacked the Wabanaki Confederacy at Norridgewock and Penobscot, the Wabanaki Confederacy retaliated by attacking the coast of present-day Maine that was below the Kennebec River, the border of Acadia.
 They attacked English settlements on the coast of present-day Maine between Berwick and Mount Desert Island.
Samuel Shute (January 12, 1662 – April 15, 1742) was an English military officer and royal governor of the provinces of Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
 After serving in the Nine Years' War and the War of the Spanish Succession, he was appointed by King George I as governor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire in 1716.
 His tenure was marked by virulent disagreements with the Massachusetts assembly on a variety of issues, and by poorly conducted diplomacy with respect to the Native American Wabanaki Confederacy of northern New England that led to Dummer's War (1722–1725).
The Dummer's War (1722–1725), also known as Father Rale's War, Lovewell's War, Greylock's War, the Three Years War, the 4th Anglo-Abenaki War or the Wabanaki-New England War of 1722–1725, was a series of battles between New England and the Wabanaki Confederacy (specifically the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, and Abenaki), who were allied with New France.
 The eastern theatre of the war was fought primarily along the border between New England and Acadia in present-day Maine as well as in Nova Scotia; the western theatre was fought in northern Massachusetts and Vermont at the border between Canada (New France) and New England.
 (During this time Massachusetts included present-day Maine and Vermont.)
The Wolastoqiyik, or Maliseet ( , also spelled Malecite), are an Algonquian-speaking First Nation of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
The Abenaki (Abnaki, Abinaki, Alnôbak) are a Native American tribe and First Nation.
 They are one of the Algonquian-speaking peoples of northeastern North America.
 The Abenaki live in Quebec and the Maritimes of Canada and in the New England region of the United States, a region called "Wabanahkik" ("Dawn Land") in the Eastern Algonquian languages.
 The Abenaki are one of the five members of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
Acadian militias were units of Acadian part-time soldiers who fought in coordination with the Wabanaki Confederacy (particularly the Mi'kmaq militias) and French forces during the colonial period, to defend Acadia against encroachment by the English (the British after 1707).
 Some other Acadians provided military intelligence, sanctuary, and logistical support to the resistance movement.
 (And other Acadians remained neutral in the contest between the French–Wabanaki Confederacy forces and the British.)
 The Acadian militias achieved effective resistance for more than 75 years and through six wars before their eventual demise.
 According to Acadian historian Maurice Basque, the story of Evangeline continues to influence historic accounts of the deportation, emphasising neutral Acadians and de-emphasising those who resisted the British.
 While Acadian militia was briefly active during the American Revolution, the militias were dormant throughout the nineteenth century.
 After confederation, Acadians eventually joined the Canadian War efforts in World War I and World War II.
 The most well-known colonial leaders of these militias were Joseph Broussard and Joseph-Nicolas Gautier.
The Raid on Lunenburg occurred during the French and Indian War when a militia of the Wabanaki Confederacy (Mi'kmaw) attacked a British settlement at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia on May 8, 1756.
 The native militia raided two islands on the northern outskirts of the fortified Township of Lunenburg, [John] Rous Island and Payzant Island (present day Covey Island).
 The Maliseet killed twenty settlers and took five prisoners.
 This raid was the first of nine the Natives and Acadians would conduct against the peninsula over a three-year period during the war.
 The Wabanaki Confederacy took John and Lewis Payzant prisoner, both of whom recorded one of the few Captivity narratives that exist from Nova Scotia/ Acadia.
Joseph Laurent (1839-1917) was chief of the Abenaki village of Odanak in Quebec, Canada, from 1880 to 1892.
 He was a teacher and leader in his Algonquian community, and the Odanak Nation throughout his life.
 Laurent, also known as Sozap Lolô, is best known for the publication of his book "New Familiar Abenakis and English Dialogues."
 The book is a dictionary that translates Abenaki to English, and was the first of its kind.
 The Algonquian-speaking nation was verbal, and in need of being preserved in writing.
 The structure of the dictionary is what widely sets it apart from others.
 His translations are set up as a journey through their land as opposed to a standard list.
 He takes the reader on a trip from Quebec and throughout New England through linguistics and language education.
 Despite Laurent's upbringing of speaking fluent Abenaki and French, he not only created a dictionary to teach English to Abenaki people, he more importantly created the substantial text in an effort to preserve the Abenaki language and culture.
 The Abenaki language was oral, and little to no written documents had been recorded.
 "New Familiar Abenakis and English Dialogues" was vital in taking the number of a hundred-plus speakers to the rest of the Abenaki population as they continued to be a part of an English-speaking world, and it is still widely used today.
 Among others, the Abenaki linguist Jesse Bruchac has used the work of Laurent in his own work on language revitalization.
The Northeast Coast Campaign (1724) occurred during Father Rale's War from March 1724 – September 1724.
 The Wabanaki Confederacy of Acadia attacked the coast of present-day Maine that was below the Kennebec River, the border of Acadia and New England.
 They attacked English settlements on the coast of present-day Maine between Berwick and Mount Desert Island.
 Casco (also known as Falmouth and Portland) was the principal settlement.
 The 1723 campaign was so successful along the Maine frontier that Dummer ordered its evacuation to the blockhouses in the spring of 1724.
