The Algonquin (or Algonkin) tribe of the Ottawa river valley in Canada are distantly related to the Penobscot people (part of the Abenaki group), as they are distantly related to all tribes speaking Algonquian languages.

This can clearly be demonstrated by comparing a few words in each language:

English...................Algonquin......................Penobscot

one.........................pezhik..........................bazegw

two.........................niish.............................niz

three.......................niswi............................nas

sun..........................kiziz.............................gizos

bear.........................makwa........................awasos

wolf.........................mahigan......................molsem

snowshoes..............aagimag......................ogmak
