Best Answer

The term Algonquian denotes a North American tribe of the Algonquian linguistic stock, which inhabited the Ottawa valley and adjacent areas east and west.

They believed in an all pervasive force in nature called manitou, which is roughly equivalent to 'mysterious' or 'supernatural'. It referred to different things: the supreme being; those spirits encountered in visions; lesser spirits; or the various powers of nature or other cosmic features.

In addition, a supreme being (often portrayed as a thunder bird IE. an eagle or great bird that produces thunder by flapping its wings), with intermediate divinities (brother sun, sister moon), and earth-mother, Nolie's, source and nourished of life, were portrayed in myth.
