Algonkin/Anishnabe and Mi'kmaq are both classified as Algonquian languages; they are therefore distantly related and a linguist can identify links between them (even if these may not be obvious to another observer).

Some people believe that the name "Algonkin" for the Anishnabe tribe comes from the Mi'kmaq term algoomeaking - "at the place of spearing fish".

A few comparative words are:

English..................................Mi'kmaq.................................Anishnabe

river.......................................sipu.......................................sippi/ziibi

one........................................newt......................................pezhik

two........................................tapu.......................................niish

chief......................................sagamaw................................ogima

black..................................... maqtawe'g.............................makadewa

How do the mikmaq teach history of their people?

the mikmaq aka (L'nu) taught history throught stories and legends.
