The word "Algonquian" (with that second "a") refers to a very large language family - it includes languages spoken by tribes across most of North America, including Canada. It follows that these tribes were located in different cultural regions and each had access to different resources. They can not be regarded as all the same.
The Algonkin or Algonquin tribe of the Ottawa river valley in Canada travelled on foot or by canoe; the Cheyenne of the Great Plains travelled by foot or on horses; the Sauk and Fox people of Wisconsin generally travelled entirely on foot. The north woods Cree travelled and hunted for much of the time wearing snowshoes. All of these tribes, and very many more, spoke distantly related Algonquian languages, but lived and travelled in entirely different environments and in different ways. Every tribe was different.

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.
