Algonquin
This article is about the Native American tribe. For other uses see:
Algonquin (disambiguation) The Algonquins (or Algonkins) are an
aboriginal North American people speaking
Algonquin, an
Algonquian language. Culturally and linguistically, they are closely related to the
Odawa and
Ojibwe, with whom they form the larger
Anicinàpe grouping. The Algonquin peoples call themselves either Omàmiwinini (plural: Omàmiwininiwak) or the more generalised name of Anicinàpe. The tribe has also given its name to the much larger, heterogeneous group of Algonquian-speaking peoples who stretch from
Virginia to the
Rocky Mountains and north to
Hudson Bay. Most Algonquins, however, live in
Quebec; the nine Algonquian bands in that province and one in
Ontario have a combined population of about 11,000. (Popular usage reflects some confusion on the point, in that the term "Algonquin" is sometimes used—for example in
this entry in the
Catholic Encyclopedia—to refer to all Algonquian-speaking societies).

Indianerstämme der
Algonkin-Sprachfamilie zusammen.Die Algonkin lebten als Jägervolk im Tal des Flusses
Ottawa, der heute die Grenze zwischen den beiden
kanadischen Provinzen
Ontario und
Québec bildet.Als die Algonkin im Jahr 1603 den ersten Kontakt mit den europäischen
Siedlern aus Frankreich hatten, bestand ihre Bevölkerungszahl aus schätzungsweise 6.000 Menschen. Heute leben etwa 8.000 Algonkin in Kanada in zehn verschiedenen Stämmen, neun davon in Québec, einer in Ontario.
