The likely origin is Abernaki, as stated, but could have a connection to the Cree language - Plains or Woodland Cree. It was not always fur which was traded during the fur trade. Ideas and language often are part of the trade too. Considering the dog sled had been used extensively in Northern Alberta by the Cree and they have no other word for it, that might be evidence enough that the word "toboggan" migrated west to east.
