Answer:
Hardly a week goes by that we don't get email from at least one kid looking for information on the "Algonquian tribe." Adults, too, write to us trying to do genealogical research on their "Algonkian" ancestors or learn the "Algonquian" heritage of their state. There's just one problem with this: THERE IS NO ALGONQUIAN TRIBE! There is an Algonquin (or Algonkin) tribe, who live in Canada. But the word Algonquian (or Algonkian) is a more general linguistic/anthropological term used to refer to not only the Algonquin tribe but dozens of distinct Native American tribes who speak languages that are related to each

The Algonquian-speaking tribes include Delaware, the Narragansetts, the Pequot, and the Wampanoag.
- It is a North American Indian language family whose part dialects are or alternately were spoken in Canada, New England, the Atlantic waterfront district toward the south to North Carolina, and the Great Lakes locale and encompassing regions toward the west to the Rocky Mountains.
- Speakers of Algonquian dialects stretch from the east shoreline of North America to the Rocky Mountains. The proto-language from which every one of the dialects of the family slide, Proto-Algonquian, was spoken around 2,500 to 3,000 years back.
- The country of the Algonquian people groups isn't known. At the hour of the European appearance, the domineering Iroquois Confederacy, situated in present-day New York and Pennsylvania, was consistently at battle with Algonquian neighbors.
