"Algonquian" refers to a very large family of distantly related languages spoken by tribes living in most parts of North America.

Just a few of them are:

  • Abenaki
  • Algonkin or Algonquin
  • Amikwa
  • Arapaho
  • Attikamek
  • Beothuk
  • Blackfoot, Piegan, Blood
  • Cheyenne and Suhtaio
  • Chitimacha
  • Fox
  • Gros Ventres or Atsinas
  • Illini
  • Kickapoo
  • Cree
  • Leni Lenape or Delaware
  • Mahican
  • Maliseet
  • Meniminee
  • Miami, Wea and Piankashaw
  • Mi'kmaq
  • Montagnais
  • Narragansett
  • Nanticoke
  • Nipissing
  • Ojibwa/Ojibwe/Chippewa
  • Ottawa/Odawa
  • Passamaquoddy
  • Penobscot
  • Powhatan
  • Potawatomi
  • Sauk or Sac
  • Shawnee
  • Tamaroa
  • Wampanoag and Massachusett and Nantucket and others
  • Wappinger
  • Wiyot
  • Yurok

The last two on this list are California tribes; many others lived around the Great Lakes and the Powhatan lived along the Virginia coast.
