The small Algonkin or Algonquin tribe has always been made up of many independent hunter-gatherer bands who never came together as one tribal group.
It seems that historically the Algonquin had no overall name for themselves, each band called itself by a different name and many versions of these names were recorded by early explorers. More recently the Algonquin people have used the term Anishinaabe, which is the same name often used by the Ottawa and Ojibwe people for themselves - it refers to an origin myth common to those tribes, where the Creator lowered the first man down to earth (ani = from whence, nishina = lowered, abe = male person).
Algonquin bands in the early 17th century were recorded by the French as:
- Kichesipirini
- Weskarini
- Iroquet
- Kinounchepirini
- Matouweskarini
- Nibachi
- Otagouttaouemin
- Saguaigunini
- Sagititaougama
- Abitibi
- Barriere
- Bonnechere
- Dumoine
- Kipawa
- Lac des Quinze
- Mainwawaki
- Mitchtamou
- Ouachegami
- Outurbi
- Tadoussac
- Temagami
- Timiskaming
