The Algonquin Indian language is verb-based and closely related to Ojibwe.
The Algonquins call themselves "Anishnabe" or "Anishnabek" (the original people) in their own language, just as their kinfolk the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi do, but use the word "Algonquin" to differentiate themselves from these other tribes, from whom they have always maintained political independence.
The Algonquins jumped at the deal; however, though the French were good friends to the Algonquins, they did not make such good allies, and the powerful Iroquois, aided first by the Dutch and later by the English, defeated the French and Algonquins alike.
