How do you say lets eat in the Algonquin language?
The Algonkin/Algonquin verb "to eat" is wisini or -sini (in compound forms). Let's eat would be madjisini or wisinidaa (in Ojibwe, the phrase "come on, let's eat" is Ambe daga wiisinidaa).
What is the meaning of Algonquin word wanaluna?
I am not convinced that it is anything in Algonquin - and since it is two words (Wana luna) and the name of a golf course in North Carolina, it can not be Algonquin (that tribe lived entirely in Canada).
It would have to be Catawba or one of their close neighbours, if it is not simply an invented name based on Latin Luna = the moon. Catawba is not an Algonquian language, but Siouan. I can find nothing like Wana luna in that language.

What is the translation of que que na tu ra from Algonquin to English?
It might not mean anything, and just be something like 'la di da'
but from what i gather, it either means 'you will understand' or 'listen with your heart'
I second that answer "Que Que na-tu-ra" Means you will understand.
Third opinion. I think its Latin in origin. "Que, Que Natura?" or "What, what nature?" It fits well in context.
Forth: I believe it means "the nature" or "the natural"
the song is saying "listen to nature and you will understand" or "like nature, if you listen, you will understand"

How do you pronounce the algonquian word quintes?
Quinte is not an Algonquin word but it derives from the native word Kenté or Kentio, which was the name of an Algonquin village located in the area, possibly referring to the large bay. It is another example of European explorers and settlers misunderstanding native names and having little interest in native languages.
In a document dated 11 August 1783, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs Sir John Johnson referred to the "Bay of Kenty" belonging to the Mississauga people.
Kenté is pronounced ken-tay. The first element of the name may be Algonquin ken- or kaun-, meaning long.
