"Algonquian" is not the name of a Native tribe or nation; it is a language family, like "romance" or "indo-european".

There are no "Algonquian Indians"; but there are Algonquin Indians in Canada. There are dozens of North American Nations that speak Algonquian languages all across the United States and Canada, but the languages and their speakers are as different from each other as French and Spanish and Italian are. Most of the New England tribes spoke Algonquian languages, and many of the "Indian" words common in English today - such as raccoon, succotash, Massachusetts, moccasin, etc. - are from one or another of the Algonquian languages, such as Abenaki, Wampanoag, Nipmuc, Penboscot, Shawnee, Delaware, etc.

The life-style was strange to the Europeans, but was based on adaptation to the environment of New Jersey.

The Lenni-Lenape were part of the Algonquin nation. The Lenni-Lenape were organized into three subtribes: In the North, were the Minsi "the people of the stony country" In the Central area, were the Unami "the people down the river" In the South, were the Unilachtigo "the people who lived near the ocean" Contact with the "whites" was sporadic until the early 1600's.

The name of two distinct bands, each formed of remnants of various Algonquian tribes. The best-known band was composed of individuals of the Mahican, Wappinger, Mohegan, Pequot, Narraganset, etc., of Connecticut and Rhode Island, and of the Montauk and others from Long Island, who settled in 1788 on land given them by the Oneida at the present Marshall, Oneida County, New York, near the settlement then occupied by the Stockbridge.
