Algonquian Indians

There were only five Native American tribes living in what later became Maine during the 1700s. The Abanaki were in southern Maine (Portland, Windham, Wesbrook and parts of New Hampshire. The Penobscot were in middle Maine and the Passamaquoddy were in the ocean regions near Canada and Maine. The Maliseets were near the Micmac in very northern Maine (Flagstaff, Maine to Caribou, Maine).

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.

In the spring when the fish were spawning, the left the winter camps to build villages at coastal locations and waterfalls. The spring months were their most successful time of year. They hunted fish such as salmon, trout, flounder, bass, and sturgeon. Men were sent to sea and would hunt whales, walruses and seals.

In 1904, women did many of the same chores they had done for hundreds of years before. They cooked, cleaned, took care of children, and did the marketing for the family.

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.

because they went to war and the algonquin & Huron were sided with the french but the Iroquois sided with the English

"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.

Some Algonquins didn't hunt some did. If they did it would be: moose , caribou , seal, fish (salmon), wolf and small mammals such as rabbits.

You might say madjashin (see you later).

Pocahontas was kidnapped by her non ethical choices, she had a sexual interaction with her former partner John Smith. Back then, it was eligal or against their(Native) believes,so she was kidnapped.

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.

They went hunting for food and they fished and they lived near forests to get all of these natural resources. They also lived near water to fish and bathe and get water and fish to eat.that's how they used their natural resources.

The term Algonquian denotes a North American tribe of the Algonquian linguistic stock, which inhabited the Ottawa valley and adjacent areas east and west.

They believed in an all pervasive force in nature called manitou, which is roughly equivalent to 'mysterious' or 'supernatural'. It referred to different things: the supreme being; those spirits encountered in visions; lesser spirits; or the various powers of nature or other cosmic features.

In addition, a supreme being (often portrayed as a thunder bird IE. an eagle or great bird that produces thunder by flapping its wings), with intermediate divinities (brother sun, sister moon), and earth-mother, Nolie's, source and nourished of life, were portrayed in myth.
