The Indians of
Oxford County were all of the Abenaki nation. They were the
Anasagunticooks and the Sokokis tribes. The first was a powerful tribe who
occupied the entire valley of the Androscoggin to Merrymeeting Bay, and
were quite fierce and warlike. The Sokokis are regarded as the most
ancient tribe in Maine. The clan or branch, which dwelt in Oxford County
was known under the name of Pequakets. Source: Varney, George J., Gazetteer of the State of Maine. Boston: B. B. Russell, 1886.
