Penobscot Nation

This semester I am taking an Anthropology course titled Indigenous Peoples of North America. The Penobscot are one of a few Maine Native American tribes that I have learned about. A great book on them that my teacher recommended is Penobscot Man by Frank Speck.

Although not centered on the Penobscot tribe, another book that I recommend is Native American Architecture by Peter Nabokov and Robert Easton. I recently purchased the book and have been consumed by it since I got it. It is a fascinating book that goes in-depth on the role of Architecture in Native American culture and provides text and beautiful pictures of the variety of buildings. Many of the buildings have enough information and plans that I could attempt to build one but probably fail.
