What does Illinois mean in the algonquian language?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Illinois is an attempt by French explorers to say the native word irenwewa, meaning "he speaks the ordinary way". This was the Illinois tribe's own name for themselves, indicating that they thought other tribes spoke very odd and strange languages.
Illinois is not a native word, but a poor attempt by French explorers to pronounce the word illiniwek, meaning "the people". Around 80 per cent of tribal names in North America mean "men" or "the people" or "real men", since each tribe considered themselves to be the "real, genuine people" and everyone else was considered rather sub-human.

What did algonquin Indians use to make clothes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most traditional Algonquin Indian clothing was made of moose and deer hide. The most common clothing was the tunic, loincloth, leggings and moccasins. In winter, bearskins were widely used, especially for capes. For smaller garments such as hats and mittens, muskrat and beaver furs were chosen because of their impermeability.

What did the native Algonquins shelter look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Algonquins didn't live in tepees. For most of the year they lived in settled villages of birchbark houses, called waginogans or wigwams. During the winter, the village split up to go to hunting camps, and each Algonquin family built a smaller cone-shaped wigwam like this for their camp, also made from birch bark. Here are some more pictures of American Indian houses like the ones the Algonquins used.

Today, Native Americans only build a birchbark home for fun or to connect with their heritage. Most Algonquin people live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you.

What did the Algonquins use to make their clothing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Algonquian" is not the name of a tribe but the name of a very large group of related languages, used by some of the tribes of the Great Plains (for example Blackfoot, Arapaho, Cheyenne), by many tribes of the Midwest (Sauk and Fox, Illinois, Miami, Shawnee, Kickapoo and others) tribes of the far north (Cree, Agonkin, Ojibwe and others) and along most of the eastern coast of North America: Powhatan, Mohegan, Wampanoag, Mahican, Delaware, Maliseet and many, many more.

Naturally the Plains tribes were not culturally the same as the Great Lakes tribes, who were not the same as the east coast tribes; each had their own clothing, traditions, religions and so on.

It is therefore impossible to answer your question.

How did the algonquins survive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many people are confused about the meanings of the words "Algonquin" and "Algonquian".

The Algonquin tribe, also called Algonkin, Anishinaabe or Omàmiwininiwak, live today where they have always lived - along the Ottawa river valley between Quebec and Ontario in Canada.

Many other tribes in the USA and Canada speak languages which are classed as Algonquian (meaning "like Algonquin"). They lived across most of North America; the Blackfoot, Arapaho and Cheyenne of the Great Plains all spoke Algonquian languages, so did the Powhatan, Secotan and Pamunkey of Virginia, the Delawares, the Shawnees, the Ojibwe/Chippewa, the Cree, The Montagnais, Abenaki, Penobscot and Mi'kmaq, the Menomini, Sauk and Fox and very many other tribes.

So it is not possible to say that the Algonquian people lived in any one place - they were many tribes living across many thousands of square miles of territory.

How do native americans tell time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They use clocks, watches, radio bulletins and other modern technologies just like everyone else. If you really meant to ask "How did native Americans tell time?", the answer is they looked at where the sun was in the sky and that told them all they needed to know. Hours, minutes and seconds were meaningless to them.

Where are the algonquian people today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Algonquian (with that second "a") is not one language but a very large family of distantly related languages. These include the Blackfoot languages, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Mahican, Mohegan, Delaware, Natick, Niantic, Abenaki, Maliseet, Wampanoag, Powhatan, Pennacook, Algonkin, Ojibwe (or Chippewa), Cree, Mascouten, Naskapi, Shawnee and many more.

Many of these languages are either extinct or very close to extinction (you will not find a fluent Powhatan speaker anywhere today). Others are still spoken, such as the Ojibwe and Menominee languages.

Menominee is spoken at the Menominee reservation in north-east Wisconsin; the Algonkin language is spoken by First Nations people in Quebec and Ontario; Cheyenne is spoken by about 1,000 adult Cheyenne on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana.
