∙ 12y agoThe word Algonquian covers a huge number of tribes speaking distantly-related languages, some of whom were part of the Plains culture, some belonging to the North Woodlands and Great Lakes culture and some to the South-East Woodlands.
The culture of the Piegan Blackfoot (an Algonquian tribe) was entirely different to the culture of the Pamunkey (another Algonquian tribe that was part of the Powhatan group).
"Algonquian" simply tells you about their language family, not their location or culture.

Was Pocahontas part of the Algonquian tribe?
Algonquian is not a tribe, it's a large grouping of tribes that speak Algonquian languages. Tribes in the Powhatan confederacy, which Pocahontas was part of, spoke an Algonquian dialect. That language is now extinct, though there are efforts to reconstruct it, which means they have an approximation of it based on historical word lists and still-existing Algonquian dialects.
