  The Sanilac Petroglyphs
From that time until their removal west by the whites in the 1800s, these Algonkian people inhabited Michigan--except for a relatively brief period when the tribes were driven out, for the most part, to the Green Bay area.
Though the two Algonkian tribes were present when white settlers arrived, there is no factual evidence indicating that they were responsible for the carvings.
Though the culture of the the Algonkian tribes was strange to European society, no less bizarre was White society to the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi tribes.

Algonkian societies may be matrilocal during planting times, shift to patrilocal during hunting times, or shift back and forth between several places of residence.

 The Grand Canyon of Arizona: How to See It - Chapter XIII
Prior to the deposition of these Algonkian strata, the Laurentian rocks (the granite) upon which they rest were subject to a long period of "planation,"--as the grinding down and leveling of rock surfaces is termed.
At the close of this epoch, however, the Algonkian strata had been eroded almost away, owing to its tilted condition, so that in some places even the surface of the Archaean was exposed, and suffered the planing-down process.
The Algonkian strata of the Grand Canyon are by far the most interesting; Major Powell was the first to call attention to their existence in his report of explorations of 1869-1872, and he discusses their origin and history as far as was possible with the small amount of data he had at hand.

 Aboriginal Peoples: Beothuk Language: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
Ives Goddard, specialist in Algonkian languages at the Smithsonian Institution, is skeptical and believes that if Beothuk is related to Algonkian it can only be on a very deep time level, that is, it would have split off from the (hypothetical) Algonkian parent language at least two-and-a-half to three thousand years ago.
He nevertheless maintains that it is related to the Algonkian family of languages, though the exact nature of this relationship cannot be established at this time.
While Beothuk is considered to be part of the greater Algonkian language family, the linguistic evidence is not sufficient to decide whether it belongs to the Central or Eastern Algonquian type.

Algonkian (also spelled Algonquian) is the largest family of languages native to North America.
Before the coming of the Europeans, Algonkian languages were spoken in what is now the eastern U.S., the southern half of Canada and parts of the western U.S. As Algonkian speakers were the first native peoples that the English encountered in North America, a large number of Algonkian words have entered the English language.
Some examples of Algonkian words that have entered English: moose, skunk, chipmunk, raccoon, possum, persimmon, squash, hominy, squaw, papoose, wigwam, powwow, moccasin, wampum, tomahawk, woodchuck and toboggan.

 NATIVE AMERICAN WAYS
Within the entire Algonkian family of languages, the root or morpheme, variously spelled "squa", "skwa", "esqua", "kwe", "squeh", "kw" etc. is used to indicate "female", not "female reproductive parts." Variants of the word are still in widespread use among northeastern peoples.
While the original, harmless usage of Algonkian words like "squaw" persisted into the 20th century, especially in the northeast, among both Indians and whites, the insulting usage increased in mixed-race urban and reservation areas.
During the late 19th century, Algonkian words that had come into common usage among Americans were carried west, by French fur traders and other whites, to tribes who were not Algonkian speakers.

The Algonkian, with whom we are concerned here, were relative newcomers to coastal North Carolina, having come in a series of migrations from the north.
To some extent they retained cultural elements from their Northeastern Algonkian traditions, but there was also cultural borrowing from their neighbors as they adapted to the geographic and climatic conditions of the area.
To the north they were bordered by the Virginia Algonkians; on the northwest and west by the Iroquoian-speaking tribes of the Tuscarora, Meherrin and Nottaway; and on the southwest by the Woccon and other Siouan-speaking tribes.
