Most Passamaquoddies, from Washington County, worked as basket-makers or laborers at the time of the Centennial.
The local newspaper, The Eastern Argus, wrote "Indians made many sacrifices to come here."
Also encamped at Deering Oaks Park were Boy Scouts, many of whose programs were based on Indian traditions.
