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
Fox
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.
