The Aligonkian Indians and their main tribes
The Aligonkian Indians consisted of six principal tribes: Malecite and Mic mac in the Maritimes, Montagnais in northern Quebec, Algonquin in the Ottawa Valley, Ojibwe north of Lakes Superior and Huron, and Cree across Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Birchbark was their key cultural item used for canoes, wigwams and containers. They depended on hunting and fishing for food, supplemented by berries and wild rice. Ojibwa Malecite and Mic mac tribes also grew corn.
