The Algonquins or Anishinabeg Geographic distribution Until 1650 , the Algonquins occupied a vast territory north of the St. Lawrence River from Lake of Two Mountains to the Great Lakes. Shortly after, they were repulsed by the Iroquois to the region of Outaouais. Then, the settlement forced them to move north, towards the Abitibi-Tmiscamingue. Finally, in the middle of the nineteenth century , logging and the creation of dams forced them to settle on small reserves. Adding that of Ontario , we arrive at a population of around 11,000 individuals. Algonquin are also installed in the forests of northeastern United States. Few Algonquins still speak the Algonquian language, called Anicinpemowin generally or specifically Ommiwininimowin. Algonquin only one in five is able to express themselves correctly in Algonquin. The main problem is finding teachers, often elderly, to teach the younger ones who often go in circles then speaking as the city of Val d'Or. Language is seen as one of several divergent dialects of the Anishinaabe language. Among young people, the Algonquin language has experienced strong loan words in the language cry. Traditionally, the Algonquins lived in a house made of birch bark or wood called wikiwn mikiwn, although the Algonquins living in homes today are identical to those of other locals. Traditionally, the Algonquins practiced Midewiwin, they felt they were surrounded by many Manitok. With the arrival of French missionaries, many Algonquins were converted to Christianity, but many practicing Midewuwin or practice between Christianity and Midewiwin. Although their culture was largely geared towards hunting and fishing, some Algonquins practiced the agriculture and cultivated the corn , the beans and squash , the "Three Sisters" of horticulture indigenous. They make more tools. They fought the Iroquois because of their rivalry in the fur trade and formed an alliance with the Innu (Montagnais) to the east in 1570 and with the French in 1603. The father of the Algonquin chief Capitanal fought the Iroquois with Samuel de Champlain and died alongside him. Algonquin is the leader Capitanal who asked Champlain to establish a permanent post for the fur trade in Trois-Rivieres , which was done when Mr. Laviolette landed at Three-River on July 1, 1634. In 1643, at Ville-Marie (Montreal), we conducted 35 baptisms including Algonquin Chief Paul Tessouat. He lived with his people, the nation Kichesipirini (Kitche = Grande, Sipi = river) on Ile-aux-matches on the banks of the Ottawa River. In May 1660, four warriors Algonquin, from Three Rivers, were part of the small group of 17 French-controlled Dollard Des Ormeaux in Long Sault, to face the Iroquois. This feat of arms was called the Battle of Long Sault. They took part in the Indian rebellion of Chief Pontiac against the British after the surrender of Montreal in September 1760.
