Algonquin Language and the Algonquin Indian Tribe (Algonkin, Anishnabe, Algonquins) The Algonquin Indian language is verb-based and closely related to Ojibwe. 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. www.native-languages.org /algonquin.htm   (692 words)

Measurement, Correlation and Mapping of Glacial Lake Algonquin Shorelines in Northern Michigan Glacial Lake Algonquin, the most widespread proglacial lake in the Great Lakes basin, attained a high (Main) stage at about 11,000 B.P., at which time it developed a conspicuous shoreline. Previous research on this lake has had three drawbacks: (1) less precise methods of establishing the location and elevation of shoreline features, (2) misidentification of some offshore coastal landforms as beach ridges and (3) tenuous and difficult correlation of named shorelines across wide distances. Rebound curves and maps of the lake during each phase, using the positional data set, indicate that isostatic rebound in the study area appears to be greatest in the northeast sector. www.geo.msu.edu /qlrg/Schaetzl110.htm   (275 words)

CM Magazine: Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park There are descriptions of the many devices used, including special boats called pointers, and weird-looking amphibian "alligators" which were "essentially steam-powered winching tugs, flat-bottomed with side-mounted paddle wheels." Roads, railways and telephone lines were constructed for the project as well, but, unfortunately, in the end David Gilmour's ambitious endeavour had to be abandoned. Yet another celebrity connected with the history of Canoe Lake was Grey Owl, the Englishman who impersonated an Aboriginal, preaching and writing about conservation in the forests. The author has captured the flavour of Algonquin Park and succeeded in almost realistically transmitting its pine-scented atmosphere to the reader. www.umanitoba.ca /cm/vol3/no5/canoe.html   (456 words)
