- Abenaki
The main body of Abenaki are in western Maine, mostly in the valleys of the Kennebec, Androscoggin, and Sacos rivers, and the neighbouring coast. They originally emigrated from the Southwest, having encountered John Cabot in 1498; but the Indians had no other dealings with white people at that time. In 1604, Champlain passed along the coast and visited Abenaki bands. In 1607 and 1608 the Plymouth Company made an unsuccessful effort to form a permanent settlement at the mouth of the Kennebec. Later, the Abenaki withdrew to Canada, settling around St. Francis

- Aleuts
The Aleuts were considered to have advanced medical skills because they had the ability to mummify a body, and they had knowledge of and names for the major internal organs. Mummification, like that in the Egyptian pyramids, was accomplished by using the geothermal conditions found in neighboring volcanic caves and islands -- believed to help in the drying process and the preservation of the mummy.

- Chippewa History
The Chippewa nation's traditional significance of its name in their own language, "to roast until puckered up," refers to the puckering in seams of moccasins when held too close or too long toward a fire. They are also called Ojibwa, as the band preferred. The Chippewa are one of the two largest divisions of the Algonquin linguistic family.
Originally from the Sault Sainte Marie region, they extended along the entire shore of Lake Huronan both shores of Lake Superior, as well as into the northern interior of North Dakota after separating into Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomi. During the 19th century they gradually gathered upon reservations in the United States and Canada. In 1650, the Chippewa population stood at 35,000. In 1764 at 25,000. They scattered into many states in the Central and Plains regions.
