Like many other people using this website you are clearly very confused about the meaning of the word Algonquin. It is the name of a single tribe made up of many small bands living along the Ottawa river valley in Canada (where they have always lived); they are also called Algonkin.
The similar word Algonquian (with a second a) refers to a very large group of tribes speaking distantly-related languages; this language group includes tribes from all over North America, including all the tribes in the area that later became Maine.
Maine Algonquians are:
- Maliseet or Malecite
- Passamaquoddy
- Abenaki
- Pennacook
- Penobsot
In the 18th century these tribes allied themselves in the Wabanaki confederacy

∙ 12y agoThe Algonquin people certainly do still exist, in the same area along the Ottawa river valley in southern Quebec and eastern Ontario that they occupied historically.
Today there are 9 communities in Quebec and 1 in Ontario, totalling about 8,000 people.
