Algonquian Indians are the North American Indian tribes originally living in the subarctic regions of eastern Canada and speaking an Algonquian language. Many of these tribes migrated south into the woodlands of the Atlantic coast from the Mississippi River. Algonquian Indians are tribes range from the Cheyennes in the Great Plains to the Naskapi Innu in frigid northern Labrador and from the Yurok in California to the Powhatans in Virginia.

What do the yakima Indians hunt there food with?
They used traps on animals. Hunted using arrows using obsidian arrow heads obtained from Central Oregon. Fishing nets for salmon and other fish. They also gathered what they could. They moved seasonally from what was available throughout the region.
How can you make a algonquian bow and arrow better?
Perhaps you mean Algonkin or Algonquin, not Algonquian.
Genuine Algonquin bows were made of hickory, 52 to 68 inches long and with a rounded rectangular cross-section (about 1 and 1/8 inches wide at the handle, tapering to 1/2 or 7/8 inch wide at the tips). Most bows were just 11/16 inch thick and used nettle, hemp or other plant fibre for the string.
Each tip was carved with symmetric nocks for the bowstring.
Hickory is a very hard, dense wood that needs very sharp tools and a great deal of care and patience. Never use wood that has been kiln-dried (as most modern building timbers are) - this is almost guaranteed to break very quickly. Use timber that has dried very slowly and naturally over a period of a year or more - just as native bows were made.
Arrows were 30 - 32 inches long, with very shallow, slightly bulbous nocks and fletched with eagle or other feathers. Shafts were 3/8 inch or less in diameter. Points were often carved from the same piece of wood, or stone or metal points were added. Some arrows with large, blunt wooden heads had no feathers and would be used for short-range shots at birds or small mammals in trees or undergrowth.

What Indians lived in jennings countyindiana?
Jennings County is in the south-eastern part of the state, in the territory originally occupied by the Piankeshaw people, who were closely allied and related to the Miami and Wea. These tribes were forced to move westwards in the 1830s and 1840s, first into Kansas and then into Oklahoma.
A very few mixed-blood descendants remain today further north near Peru, Indiana, but they have no recognition as a tribe by the US government.
It seems that the Delawares moved into the area after the original tribes moved out.

Algonquin is primarily spoken in Canada, particularly in Quebec and Ontario. The language is part of the larger Algic language family.
What Indian tribes lived in mahoning county Youngstown Ohio?
Mahoning County is near the north-east corner of Ohio, in the area that had been home to the Erie. These are a people who were defeated and absorbed by the Seneca Iroquois before they could be studied by early explorers; they had disappeared completely by 1660. Ohio did not become a state until 1803, so Mahoning county did not exist when the Erie lived in that area.
The real name of the tribe was Erielhonan, meaning "long tail" and they spoke an Iroquoian language.
Did algonquians use fish bones to make sewing needles?
yes they did back in the day the algonquians did use fish bones to make sewing needles because they were so sharp and pointy
How did the algonquins build a spear?
Spears were actually quite rare weapons and many stone points labelled "spear head" in collections today are really knives.
Not just the Algonquin (also called the Algonkin) but allof the eastern woodlands tribes would find a tall, straight sapling about seven feet tall. This would be cut down, stripped of twigs, leaves and bark and further straightened by heating if necessary.
Hardening the sharpened point in a fire was an early way of making the "business end"; later points of flint or other stone were made and eventually metal knife blades obtained in trade from Europeans were fitted to spear shafts.

How were the Algonquian educated originally?
Of course they wouldn't attend school.They would learn by myths and legends. The elders would tell them stories, and they would learn from that.
Who is older the Algonquins or the Iroquois?
It's hard because Both of them are the native American(people who lived in North America a long time AGO). In my opinion, neither because they started it a long long time ago. Like 10,000 years ago and only the native American know it. Not the American because Christopher Clombus(the first guy in Europe who find North America) found it in the 1500. I think no one know it. Even the native American Ancestor.
Native Americans from the Algonquin and groups became allies of the french?
Huron is the correct answer
When did Verrazano find the algonquin Indians?
It was April 17th 1524 and the Navigator had entered into the Bay of New York, penetrating by way of the Strait now called the Narrows into the northern bay which he baptised Santa Margherita in honour of the King of France's sister. He landed on the tip of Manhattan and perhaps on the furthest point of Long Island. Giovanni's stay in this magnificent place was interrupted by a storm which pushed him north towards Martha's Vineyard where he found respite in the town now known as Newport. The expedition rested here for two weeks, from April 24th to May 6th, entering in contact and fraternising with the local population. The great enterprise had been accomplished, the whole length of coast from Florida to Cape Breton, land to which the navigator gave the name "Francesca", had been discovered.

What did algonquins call themselves?
The small Algonkin or Algonquin tribe has always been made up of many independent hunter-gatherer bands who never came together as one tribal group.
It seems that historically the Algonquin had no overall name for themselves, each band called itself by a different name and many versions of these names were recorded by early explorers. More recently the Algonquin people have used the term Anishinaabe, which is the same name often used by the Ottawa and Ojibwe people for themselves - it refers to an origin myth common to those tribes, where the Creator lowered the first man down to earth (ani = from whence, nishina = lowered, abe = male person).
Algonquin bands in the early 17th century were recorded by the French as:
- Kichesipirini
- Weskarini
- Iroquet
- Kinounchepirini
- Matouweskarini
- Nibachi
- Otagouttaouemin
- Saguaigunini
- Sagititaougama
- Abitibi
- Barriere
- Bonnechere
- Dumoine
- Kipawa
- Lac des Quinze
- Mainwawaki
- Mitchtamou
- Ouachegami
- Outurbi
- Tadoussac
- Temagami
- Timiskaming
