Algonquian means "like the Algonkin"; they were a relatively small Canadian group living along the Ottawa river valley between present-day Ontario and Quebec. They originally comprised many small bands numbering perhaps 6,000 people in total.
They have been selected as the "typical" eastern woodlands group speaking a particular language belonging to a very large language family which is also spoken by almost all of the eastern seaboard tribes of the US and Canada and many tribes in the interior. So the Ojibwas, Blackfoot, Arapahoes, Cheyenne, Cree, Ottawas, Menomini, Sauk and Fox, Miamis, Illinois, Shawnee, Erie, Delawares, Powhatan, Pequot, Wampanoags, Mahicans, Penobscot, Abenaki, Malecite, Miqmac, Raritans, Pocumtucs, Massachusetts, Nausetts, Pokanokets, Narragansetts, Niantics, Paugussets, Montauks, Shinnecocks, Poosepatucks, Rockaways, Raritans, Piscataways, Abitibi, Mascoutens, Beothuk, Conoy, Pamunkeys, Rappahannocks, Pennacooks, Secotan, Tetes de Boules, Wappinger, Wiyot, Missisaugas and many, many more tribes are classed as "Algonquian" - like the Algonkins (at least as far as language is concerned).
It is possible to show the language relationship across all of these groups:
