The Algonquins or Algonkins are an aboriginal North American people speaking Algonquin, an Algonquian language.
Although the historical Algonkin society was largely hunting- and fishing-based, some Algonkins practiced agriculture and cultivated corn, beans, and squash, the famous "Three Sisters" of indigenous horticulture.

The Algonquin homeland was supposed to be protected from settlement by the Proclamation of 1763 and the Quebec Act of 1774, but after the revolution ended in an American rebel victory, thousands of British Loyalists left the new United States and settled in Upper Canada.
Algonquin Park was established in 1893, not to stop logging but to establish a wildlife sanctuary, and by excluding agriculture, to protect the headwaters of the five major rivers, which flow from the Park.
Algonquin Park is famous for its wolves, not only because it has been able to maintain one of the most southerly wolf populations in North America, but also because the wolves are relatively accessible to millions of people without the benefit of special guides or equipment.
