Azeban, or "the Raccoon," is a lower-level trickster spirit in Abenaki mythology. The traditional homeland of the Abenaki is Wobanakik, what is now called northern New England, southern Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Azeban is a raccoon, the Abenaki trickster figure. Pronounced ah-zuh-bahn. Azeban does many foolish and/or mischievous things in Abenaki folktales, but unlike animal tricksters in some other tribes, is not dangerous or malevolent.
