The term Algonquian (or Macro-Algonkian) refers to a very large number of distantly related tribes , languages and dialects covering a large part of the United States and Canada. They all descend from a common ancestor group, but they have lived apart for so long that each of their languages has evolved differently.

Some of the larger Algonquian tribes are:

Algonkin

Arapaho

Blackfoot

Abitibi

Abenaki

Atakapa

Atsina

Cheyenne

Cree

Delaware

Fox

Illinois

Kickapoo

Kutenai

Mascouten

Menomini

Miami

Micmac

Montagnais

Naskapi

Ojibwa (Chippewa)

Ottawa

Pequot

Potawatomi

Powhatan (a confederation of about 20 small tribes)

Sauk (Sac)

Secotan

Shawnee

Su'tai'o (joined the Cheyenne)

Wampanoag

Wappinger

Winnebago

Wiyot

Yurok

There were hundreds of very small Algonquian-speaking tribes on the east coast of the US, many of them now extinct.
