Who is older the Algonquins or the Iroquois?
It's hard because Both of them are the native American(people who lived in North America a long time AGO). In my opinion, neither because they started it a long long time ago. Like 10,000 years ago and only the native American know it. Not the American because Christopher Clombus(the first guy in Europe who find North America) found it in the 1500. I think no one know it. Even the native American Ancestor.
