Member of a native Canadian group (the Algonquinos), who were the first inhabitants of what is now new York State. They are considered Algonquinos almost all ancestral tribes of North America (odawa and ojibwe, or anishinaabe, believe, kikapu, black feet and innu). It is also Algonquino the language spoken by these indigenous people. They are currently in reserves of the Virginia States and in the Province of Quebec in Canada. The word means our ally.
