Imagine
having the freedom to go traveling from Turtle (Clan) Town to Turtle (Clan)
Town along all those old trade routes, seeing all those Algonquin Speaking
relatives, ocean to ocean...
"The
distribution of Algonquian languages in North America indicates the place of
origin, based on the diversity of Algonquian dialects, between Long Island
Sound and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. One might argue this place of origin
extended from the Albemarle Sound in North Carolina to Cape Cod, but European
encroachment in those areas render available data less reliable.
Also,
the relative distributions of Algonquian languages reveal a pattern consistent
with the gradual occupation of unoccupied lands vacated by the receding
glaciers.v Thus, the distribution of the Algonquian languages, as well as the
mt hap X2 coalescence times, establish the "arrival" of these Indians
in North America to be about the time of the last glacial maximum." http://nrgiseternal.com/index.php?topic=23.0
In
the same area, Yurok and Wiyot (the latter now extinct) belong to the Algic
family that encompasses the Algonquian languages, such as Cree and Ojibwe, and
which extends from the Rocky Mountains to Atlantic Canada:
