| | Algonquian History Part II |
 | | Tessouat was now a Christian, but it is doubtful that he would have accepted any agreement which abandoned his non-Christian tribesmen to the Haudenosaunee. | | | Only the Haudenosaunee League's preoccupation with their war against the Huron brought some measure of relief to the French allies in the east, but this ended in 1649 after the Haudenosaunee overran and completely destroyed the Huron. | | | This strange mix of former enemies, both of whom had converted to Christianity and allied with the French, became known by both its Algonquian name Oka (pickerel), and the Haudenosaunee form, Kanesatake (sandy place). |

| | If there is not enough time, maybe you could write your report on Algonquian people who live in your home state (as listed above). | | | We don't recommend Native New Yorkers or No Word For Time by Evan Pritchard, a New Age devotee of Mi'kmaq descent who now writes copiously about the Algonquin world view. | | | For your additional information, here are some general facts about Algonquian people, with basic answers to the questions we are most often asked by kids and Algonquian pictures and links we believe are especially suitable for all ages. |

| | The Kickapoo Indians |
| | Algonquian people are classified by anthropologist in a group called Woodland Indians. | | | Look at the map to see how often and to how many different places the Kickapoo moved so they could maintain their own cultural identity. | | | When the first European people came to the new world, they found that many of these linguistically related tribes, or tribes related to one another by language, had migrated into other parts of North America. |

| | New England Algonquian Language Revival |
| | No extinct American Indian language has ever been brought back to life, as was the case with the Hebrew language in Israel. | | | These Indian languages, and their dialects, were once spoken principally in the States of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. | | | The primary focus is comparative Algonquian vocabulary and elementary grammatical structures, derived from the scholarly linguistic and anthropological literature, oral tradition, and the authors own (hypothetical) reconstructive contributions. |

| | She even converted to Christianity and married John Rolfe, a Jamestown colonist, a union which helped bring the two groups together. | | | Pocahontas was the daughter of Powhatan, an important chief of the Algonquian Indians (the Powhatans) who lived in the Virginia region. | | | Her untimely death in England hurt the chance for continued peace in Virginia between the Algonquians and the colonists. |

| | His purpose was to seek further financial support for the Virginia Company and, to insure spectacular publicity, he brought with him about a dozen Algonquian Indians, including Pocahontas. | | | Pocahontas was an Indian princess, the daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of the Algonquian Indians in the Tidewater region of Virginia. | | | She was born around 1595 to one of Powhatan's many wives. |

| | Algonquian Indian Genealogy |
| | The religious beliefs of the eastern Algonquian tribes were similar in their leading features. | | | In 1815 those who had taken part against the United States during the War of 1812 made peace with the Government; then began the series of treaties by which, within thirty years, most of the Indians of this region ceded their lands and removed west of the Mississippi. | | | As a rule the relations of the French with the Algonquian tribes were friendly the Foxes being the only tribe against whom they waged war. |

| | The Algonquian peoples are famous for using birch bark canoes on what is really a water superhighway. | | | The peoples who spoke languages in the Algonquian family lived in the northern woodlands, an area that spans much of Canada and the northern United States. | | | Like other peoples, the Algonquian had shamans who had magical powers, such as being able to penetrate rock or fly like birds. |

| | Because of the Algonkin converts at Oka, all of the Algonkin were committed to the French cause through a formal alliance known as the Seven Nations of Canada, or the Seven Fires of Caughnawaga. | | | Other than the names of their bands, the Algonkin do not appear to have had a name for themselves as a people. | | | Dreams were of particular importance to the Algonquian peoples, and proper interpretation was an important responsibility of their shamans whose other duties included communication with the spirit world, guiding men's lives, and healing the sick. |

| | They were fierce people, these Algonquians, and wherever they met the European colonists long and bloody wars followed until the natives were driven across the Alleghanies. | | | The Canadian Algonquian were better treated, and now live not far from their original homes. | | | Throughout the French and Indian wars they sided with the French and stubbornly fought against the English, but in the end, as was the case with more peaceful tribes, they found themselves confined to scattered reservations west of the Mississippi. |

| | The Algonquian people occupied most of the Canadian region south of Hudson Bay between the Rocky Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean and, excluding certain territory held by Siouan and Iroquoian tribes, that section of what is now the United States extending northward from North Carolina and Tennessee. | | | Today, more than 60% of the total Algonquin population in Quebec speak their language. | | | As with the Ojibway and Cree languages, also of Algonquian stock, and Inuktitut, Algonquin is among those rare Native languages in North America with a very good chance of surviving and even progressing in the future. |

| | Since most historical accounts of travelers and settlers dealt with either the Cherokee or the Algonquian, little is known about the Siouan peoples and their pre-contact cultures. | | | In 1584, the estimated 7,000 Algonquians living in North Carolina were relative newcomers to the Southeast, having come in a series of migrations. | | | The Iroquoian tribes--the Cherokee, Tuscarora, Meherrin, Coree, and Neuse River (which may have been Iroquoian or Algonquian)--were related linguistically and culturally to the Iroquois tribes to the north. |

| | The Story of the Algonquian Indians |
| | For many Algonquian (as in other groups), the Lenni Lenape were the "grandfathers," a term of great respect stemming from the widespread belief that the Lenape were the original tribe of all Algonquian-speaking peoples; and this often gave the Lenape the authority to settle disputes between rival tribes. | | | A common tradition shared by most Algonquian maintains that the Lenape, Nanticoke and Powhatan were, at some point in the past, a single tribe which lived in the Lenape homeland. | | | The Delaware called themselves Lenape, translated either as "original people" or "true men." The Swedish form was Renape -- showing a link to the Scandinavian countries. |
