The Wabanaki Confederacy, an alliance of several Algonquian-speaking tribes in the northeastern region of North America, engaged in a fierce and prolonged struggle to defend their homeland against encroaching European settlers and colonial expansion. The Wabanaki Confederacy, comprising the Abenaki, Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, and Passamaquoddy tribes, united to resist the European invasion and protect their traditional lands, way of life, and cultural identity. The conflict, known as the Wabanaki Confederacy Wars, was characterized by cycles of intense warfare, peace negotiations, raids, and diplomatic efforts over several decades, shaping the history and identity of the Wabanaki people.
