The Algonquin are Aboriginal peoples in Canada, whose home communities are located in western Québec and adjacent Ontario, centring on the Ottawa River and its tributaries. Algonquin people are closely related to Ojibwa and Odawa, with whom they form the larger cultural group known as the Anishinaabeg — also known as Anishinaabek, or Anishinaabe in the singular. Algonquin should not be confused with Algonquian, or Algonkian, which is used to describe a much larger group, which includes the Anishinaabeg, as well as the Innu and Cree.
