What city in Illinois comes from Algonquin word garlic field?
No city in Illinois has a name from Algonquin - that language is only spoken by the Algonquin tribe of Canada. Chicago is named from the Miami (not Algonquin) word chicagoua, meaning the wild native garlic plant (Allium tricoccum) - there is nothing in the word that represents "field", so it definitely does not mean "garlic field", simply "wild garlic".
It is claimed that the Miami word also signifies "skunk", but this is given as shikakwa in modern sources.
The Algonquins were traditionally hunters and gatherers. Their diet consisted of fresh meats in the summer and dried in the winter, as well as farmed vegetation, such as corn, a dietary staple.
Nowadays, Algonquins eat many of the same foods as everybody else.
What are some Algonquin characteristics?
The Algonkin or Algonquin tribe still live today in many small independent bands on reservations in Ontario and Quebec in Canada. Historically they had no "tribal symbol" - such things were almost unknown for most native groups throughout the entire Americas.
In modern times some Algonquin bands have adopted various symbols for use on Internet sites, flags and so on. The Mattawa/North Bay Algonquin use the image of a netted hoop (wawiieiak takobidjigan in Algonquin), often confused by many people for a "dream catcher" but unconnected with that concept. The netted hoop was a symbol of the universe, the unending order of things and was often attached to cradleboards or the hair of warriors.
The Algonquins of Golden Lake use the image of a bear in silhouette (makwa in Algonquin), while the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan have a green turtle (mikinak in Algonquin).

What does Illinois mean in the algonquian language?
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.
