The Algonquin Nation

The Algonquin Nation is a group of Indigenous peoples traditionally residing in the eastern part of Canada, particularly in Quebec and Ontario. They speak Algonquin, a branch of the larger Algonquian language family, and have a rich cultural heritage rooted in hunting, fishing, and gathering. Historically, they lived in semi-permanent villages and were skilled in canoeing and forestcraft. Today, the Algonquin Nation continues to maintain their cultural identity, advocate for their rights, and work towards preserving their language, traditions, and community sovereignty within the broader Canadian landscape.
