Is there more detail to how Verrazano did with the Algonquin tribe?
As we found no port or inlet to dock our ship in, we put down our anchor offshore, and sent a boat toward the beaches. We were able to see a large number of people, who had apparently come down to observe our approach, but they fled as soon as we arrived at the shores. We tried to reassure them with all manner of friendly gesture. A few of the braver finally came forth, and expressed great joy at seeing us. They expressed amazement at our way of dressing, our appearance and the colour of our skin. We disembarked at that point, and were able to learn some thing about these people, their lives and their culture which I shall hereby report to Your Majesty.
These men were naked, except for the small skirt-like garment they used to cover their genitals. This they fashioned from the pelts of small, marten-like animals, which hung from their waists to their knees from a belt made of grass interwoven with animal tails. For the rest, they were nude as well as bare-headed. Some, however, wore feather headdresses.
The men and women are dark-skinned, not unlike Ethiopians, and have thick, black hair which they tie behind their necks. They are well-built, and of medium to above-average height when compared to us. They have broad chests and strong arms and legs, and on the whole, are very well proportioned. Their eyes are large and black, and have a quick and watchful look to them. Though they do not seem extraordinarily strong, they are swift and resistant runners. We were not able to discover more details of their lives, as we could only remain on land briefly, having left the ship with the rest of the crew aboard.

What kind of home did the Algonquins live in?
The Algonquins traditionally lived in wigwams, which are dome-shaped structures made from wooden frames covered with bark or animal hides. These homes were well-suited for the nomadic lifestyle of the Algonquin people, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly as they moved with the seasons. In addition to wigwams, they also built larger longhouses for extended families, particularly in areas where they settled for longer periods.

Why was the Algonquian Indian name Chicago used to name the City of Chicago?
The tribe used the term "Shik a gu" to describe the area. It means "stink weed" or "wild onion," which described the plants growing in the low land areas near the Chicago River and Lake Michigan at the time. It was used by early French trappers and traders who used the "soft" French /ch/ to represent the initial native sound in the word.

What does the potawatomi symbol repusent?
It is not clear which particular symbol you mean.
The Prairie Band Potawatomi today use a badge that symbolises the real name of the tribe: bodéwadmi or Keepers of the Fire. The badge includes a cooking fire being lit by a lightning bolt, with a "fire eagle" and eagle feathers, together with a calumet or tobacco pipe used in ceremonials.
The Forest County Potawatomi use a badge featuring a cross within a circle (for the four directions), with a native tending a cooking fire and pendant eagle feathers.
These are clearly modern symbols and did not exist in the 17th, 18th or 19th centuries, although the ideas they represent were certainly part of the tribal culture.
It is likely that a symbol was used to indicate the Potawatomi people in 18th century documents such as treaties, but I have not been able to trace it.
