Wippanap
The Wippanap are evidently the Abnaki. The Abenaki people call themselves Alnôbak, meaning Real People. There are a dozen variations of the name Abenaki including Wippanap. The name was used by the English and French of the colonial period to designate an Algonquian confederacy centering in the present state of Maine, and by the Algonquian tribes to include all those of their own stock resident on the Atlantic seaboard, more particularly the “Abnaki” in the north and the Delawares in the south.
