  Civilization.ca - T.W.Edwin Sowter - Algonkin and Huron Occupation of the Ottawa Valley
As those gentle and lovable pioneers of the Cross were among the first Europeans to come in contact with these red children of the forest, they enjoyed exceptional opportunities for observing their habits of thought and action, ere their primitive folk-lore and traditions had been modified by the cradle stories of the pale-faces.
Resting on the old Algonkin camping ground at Pointe aux Pins-now the Queen's Park-some roving coureur de bois might have seen this great sheet of water fading away into the vast green ocean of foliage to the south, and witnessed from his point of vantage the uncanny incidents of the savage drama.
Doubtless, in their wanderings on the northern tributaries of the Ottawa, Algonkin and Huron had alike eaten the bread of adversity and drunk the water of affliction and were ready for any asylum that would afford them a brief period of rest.

Both Algonkin and Algonquin are correct spellings for the name of the tribe, but Algonquian either refers to their language or, collectively, to the group of tribes that speak related Algonquian languages.

The Algonkin were patrilineal with the right to use specific hunting territories being passed from father to son, but some Algonquian tribes used matrilineal descent (traced through the mother) in determining kinship.

 Relgion - The Mysterious Power
Those Algonkin peoples that have been most carefully studied 1 conceive it in a vague, naïve manner as a sort of active, cosmic property, or essence, which, although present everywhere, is frequently possessed in preëminent degree by particular objects or persons.
If such was the case, it seems most in accord with what we know of social change to regard the various forms of the concept found among different peoples as divergent growths having no serial relationships, but rather cognates, their divergences being due to the different social and physical contexts in which they have existed.
Thus the Indian notion, at least that of the Algonkin stock, is rather highly generalized and is the relatively abstract outcome of a certain amount of naïve reflection.

This countered the Montagnais and Algonkin advantage over the Mohawk of metal weapons received from the French, but the Dutch posts were in Mahican territory forcing the Mohawk to pay tribute for passage for trade.
