How do you say feather in algonquin?
The Algonquin (Algonkin) word for a feather is mikwan(plural mikwanak); a small feather is mikwannens.
The Ojibwe word for feather is miigwan, showing the very close relationship between these two languages.

When were the Algonquins alive?
the algonquins were alive in dinosaur times. Eventually they went extinct when the dinosaurs trampled them with bull dozers custom made by Shakespeare himself.
What did algonquins use for paint?
All native American tribes made their paints (wejinigewinor wejinigan in Algonquin) mainly from mineral sources: carbon black from charcoal, red and yellow from ochre, white from white clay and so on. These pigments were mixed with animal fat and kept in small leather pouches ready for future use.
Do the Algonquin Indians live in wigwams?
Present day Algonquin Indians live in modern homes and apartments.
In the past, Algonquin Indians lived in wigwams or wetus. Wigwam is the word for "house" in the Abenaki tribe, and wetu is the word for "house" in the Wampanoag tribe.
Where is the algonquins landforms?
Algonquin people live across the world. Originating from the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, the tribes and individuals have travelled across America. With the invention of the air plane, travelling farther is much easier now.
Was Pocahontas part of the Algonquian tribe?
Algonquian is not a tribe, it's a large grouping of tribes that speak Algonquian languages. Tribes in the Powhatan confederacy, which Pocahontas was part of, spoke an Algonquian dialect. That language is now extinct, though there are efforts to reconstruct it, which means they have an approximation of it based on historical word lists and still-existing Algonquian dialects.
What transportation did the jumanos use?
Until the arrival of the Spaniards and the horses they brought with them all Native American people were pedestrians.

Yes, generally because of diet.
For example, British people are said to smell of dairy produce, because they consume alot of it. Or atleast more than other cultures.
Here is the ACTUAL answer.
many (likely most, definitely not all) people of African descent have a higher concentration of apocrine glands than other races as well has having apocrine glands that are larger. Conversely those of Asian descent (especially Japanese descent) have little, and in some cases no, apocrine glands. Now this is NOT the same as sweat glands. Though apocrine glands are a type of "sweat" gland, they do NOT respond to heat or physical exertion, which is what eccrine glands do. Apocrine glands respond primarily to situations of either high stress or arousal (need not be sexual, but that's included).
Apocrine glands contain a much higher level of volatile fats in them, which become very oderiferous when the bacteria in your skin metabolises them. Simply put, if you have three people stressing out in a line of Asian, caucasian and African descent you will see an escalatingly stronger smell out of each one respectively. Its the same smell, simply stronger. Asians frequently complain that white people smell.
I will repeat again that apocrine glands are not triggered (except in extreme heat situations) by temperature, so the whole "Africa is hot" theory is total rubbish. This is simply genetic similarities among certain groups lending some to different concentrations of glands. The idea that evolution has a 'purpose' or 'intelligent goal' is a fallacy, its completely randon and anything that doesnt hurt you has a possibility to become the norm if passed around the gene pool enough regardless of how random the gene is.
My personal theory here is this: you stop noticing the "race smell" of whatever race you deal with the most in your day to day. And will definitely not notice the smell of anyone who has less apocrine glands than your most frequently interacted with race. But if you come into contact with someone of a higher apocrine concentration that hasn't showered recently enough, you'll notice it. Problem solved.
How did native Americans communicate with white men?
By means of signs, just as they always communicated with other native groups who spoke many different languages.
Columbus reported communicating with natives by means of gesture signs; when Cabrillo landed at San Diego Bay in September 1542, he reported that:
"The following day, in the morning, there came to the ships three large Indians and by signs they said that there were travelling in the interior men like us - with beards, and clothes and arms like our own, and they made signs that these men carried cross-bows and swords, and made signs that they killed many of the natives who were greatly afraid."
Coronado, travelling in Texas in 1540, said of the Tonkawas and Comanches that:
". . . although they converse by means of signs, they make themselves so well understood that there is no need of an interpreter."
Dr E B Tyler, an authority on native American peoples, said that signs were a medium of converse from Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
Wigwams were made of poles (pine or other hard wood) with animal skins or heavy canvas cloth attached to them. These were handy for migratory people since they could be easily taken down and transported to the next site. "Wigwam" often refers to those lived in by various American indians, but similar types of tents were used by Arabs and others.
Why did the Americans move westward?
The simplest answer would be "Profit." The U.S. Congress said that "the Native Americans stand as guardians to the treasure vaults of this nation." They were referring to the lands held by the Native Americans, to the west of the land that the U.S. owned.
Western expansion was for the sole purpose of profit, personal as well as the profit of the U.S. Natural Resources of gold, silver, agriculture and more-so to claim these lands for the U.S. before anyone else could claim them (Spanish / Mexico). Everyone, except the Native Americans, stood to profit from claiming these lands; by any means possible.
Who bought Manhattan island from the native Americans?
The Dutch paid $24 to the native americans who lived there.
What tools did the native Americans use?
Native Americans used their hands and also they used bows and arrows, rocks and arrowheads, bones, and animal pelts and skins. they also used knives.
How did the algonquin tribe get their name?
Just like almost all modern tribal names, Algonkin or Algonquin is not the real name of that tribe - it is a name applied by neighbouring people and adopted incorrectly into French and then English.
They call themselves Omamiwinini or Anishinaabeand their language is Omamiwininimowin.
The origin of Algonquin is uncertain. It may come from Mi'kmaq algoomeaking ("where fish and eels are speared" - a place name), or from Maliseet elægomogwik ("they are our relatives or allies"). Clearly, white explorers travelling with Mi'kmaq or Maliseet guides and arriving in the Algonquin territory asked the guides who these people were. The guides gave their own tribe's name for the Algonquin, not the real name - the same sequence happened throughout the Americas.
What language did the siksika speak?
The Siksika people speak:
- English
- Blackfoot, also called Siksiká (ᓱᖽᐧᖿ), which is a Plains Algonquian language.
Is the algonquin tribe still alive?
Like many people you are confused by the word Algonquian. This is not the name of a tribe but the name of a very large group of distantly-related languages spoken by very many different tribes from the Blackfoot and Cheyenne of the Plains to the Powhatan of Virginia.
The word derives from the small Algonkin tribe who live today in their traditional homeland in the Ottawa River valley between Ontario and Quebec. At first contact with European explorers there were perhaps 6,000 Algonkins; today there are around 8,000 so they have increased slightly.
Algonquian simply means "like the Algonkin", at least in terms of language.
