		Algonquin or Algonkin is used in reference to the tribe, but Algonquian either refers to the Algonquin language or to the group of tribes that speak related dialects.
		Because the Northern climates made agriculture difficult, the Algonquin were a semi-nomadic people, moving their encampments from one place to the next in search of food, which came from hunting, trapping, fishing and the gathering of various plant roots, seeds, wild rice and berries.
		The Algonquin social structure was patriarchal; men were the leaders and the heads of the family and territorial hunting rights were passed from father to son.

	The History of Algonquin Park and Useful Resources
		Algonquin Park was established in 1893, not to stop logging but to establish a wildlife sanctuary, and by excluding agriculture, to protect the headwaters of the five major rivers which flow from the Park.
		Algonquin Provincial Park lies in a transition zone between deciduous forests typical of areas to the south of the Park, and coniferous forests, more typical of areas to the north.
		Algonquin Park is famous for its wolves, not only because it has been able to maintain one of the most southerly wolf populations in North America, but also because the wolves are relatively accessible to millions of people without the benefit of special guides or equipment.

	Algonkin
		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.
		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.
		It is unclear whether these people were Iroquois or Huron, but by the time the French made their first permanent settlement in this area seventy years later, these so-called "Laurentian" Iroquois had disappeared, the apparent casualties of a Iroquois-Algonquian war which had occurred in the interim.

	Algonquin Language and the Algonquin Indian Tribe (Algonkin, Anishnabe, Algonquins)
		The Algonquins call themselves "Anishnabe" or "Anishnabek" (the original people) in their own language, just as their kinfolk the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi do, but use the word "Algonquin" to differentiate themselves from these other tribes, from whom they have always maintained political independence.
		The Algonquins jumped at the deal; however, though the French were good friends to the Algonquins, they did not make such good allies, and the powerful Iroquois, aided first by the Dutch and later by the English, defeated the French and Algonquins alike.
		Though they were defeated, they were never destroyed, and the Algonquin people have been able to maintain their culture unbroken in pockets of their once-vast holdings.

		People are baffled today when Elder Commanda still says we cannot sell Mother Earth, ‘for who would sell his mother?’ Many, who had little or no lands in their countries of origin, have forgotten that only a few centuries ago, the land was the common resource of the peoples who resided upon her.

	SUNHEART: answers and inspiration from ancient sources
		Some of the answers are very revealing concerning every day life of the people at that time, however some show probable ignorance on the part of the individual, which is ever a possibility in an oral tradition after the breakup of the core nucleus of the nation.
		Algonquin people would rather live free, free even from the yoke of their own governments, and die with honor, than live as slaves to any man. It was a choice they may have made consciously.
